The majority of replacement windows handles made of upvc include everything you need. However the handle you had previously was fixed with pins or screws they'll need to be removed. Take off the "snap-in" cover at the base of the handle.

Espag

Espag handles are a system of multipoint locks fitted to casement window types such as uPVC or wooden double glazing. The handle is fitted with a 7mm square shaft that fits into an internal gearbox that is mounted on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned it will activate a series of locks around the window's perimeter. Espag handles, also referred as shootbolts, provide more security than the single point locks found on older frames.

You may need to remove any screws that are protecting the screws that hold the handle in place and if this is the case, you can use a screwdriver or pliers to break the pins holding the handle.

The ideal solution is to replace the wedge block cockspur with a new one when changing your uPVC handle to ensure that it is properly secured.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles can be found on older uPVC or aluminum windows. The handle is closed and then turns onto a wedge-shaped plastic receiver catch. (Not to be confused with timber latches, which are also covered in this section.) These handles are available in lockable and nonlockable versions. They are available in various nose sizes that can be adapted to the frame.

The handle is secured with the small triangle-shaped spur (spur) which is fixed to the frame. They are typically one-way handles, however the deadlock cylinder with a locking mechanism can be fitted for additional security.

Like the Espag handles, replacement handles for cockspur handles are easy to install All you require is an additional set of screws (supplied) and the correct backset.

They are available in right and left handed versions and come in nonlockable or lockable models, with a choice of nose heights.

Turn and Tilt

By turning the handle 90@ or 180@ (depending on the kind of tilt and turn window replacements near me) the window sash will open inwards and the window can be tilted in to allow air exchange through the space at the top of the frame. This is a great option for ventilation without the need to open a large window, which could pose a security risk if it is not secured properly when opening.

If the handle is turned 90or 180 degrees the sash can be fully opened, much like a door.

For instance, some handles are angled whilst others are straight and either turn left or right. You'll also require the size of the spindle that is the distance between the base of handle and the head of the handle.

Another aspect to consider when choosing the correct handle is knowing whether your windows need a restrictor or not. They are usually used in high-rise flats or commercial buildings, but are not required for homes used by the homeowner. Also, take into consideration step height, which is the distance from the bottom of the screw plate to the apex of the handle.
