The Reasons Window Handles Is More Difficult Than You Imagine
Window Handles

Window handles come in many different styles and colors to fit your home. They are operated by a locking mechanism hidden within the frame to open and close the double glazed windows.

When replacing your handle it is crucial to examine the length of the spindle. This is the distance that the nose extends from the base plate or the distance it extends into lock.


Espag Handles

Espag handles are used to operate multi-point locks within double-glazed windows. The handle can be rotated around the window to improve security. Our collection of espagnolette window handles include straight and cranked styles in a range of finishes like brass, chrome, black and forged.

Each handle is made from sturdy die cast zinc that is powder coated or plated to provide high corrosion resistance, impact resistance and protection against wear. They are designed for use on uPVC and aluminium windows with espagnolette or shoot bolt mechanisms and can be locked in the closed position using a key or push button to secure the handle.

Typically, espagnolette handles feature a 7mm squared spindle that runs through the lever backplate to fit into a lock mechanism inside the frame of the sash, and turning the handle will activate the lock. It is crucial to consider the size of the spindle when selecting the handle you want to use for your window with a espagnolette. This will determine how it can be opened. The spindle's size will be indicated on the handle backplate with numbers like 5', '3/4' or '2/3'. This is what you need to measure against your current handle to make sure it fits.

Cranked handles are a more elegant design to straight handles. They are available in left-handed versions (opened clockwise) and right-handed versions (opened anticlockwise) in accordance with the way you open your window. The cranked design gives you more room to open the window. This is ideal for windows close to the frame.

The cockspur is a variation of the espagnolette handle with a cockspur that closes by a striker plate like an espagnolette multiple-point lock. This handle can be used to fix the cockspur handles that were previously used on UPVC or aluminium windows.

Crankspur and cranked handle models can be fitted with a key-lock insert in order to add additional security. These are available in a range of handed options and also come with a black blanking plug for those who prefer their window handle unlocked or want to highlight it as fire egress only.

Cockspur Handles

The Cockspur handle is a traditional window handle with an elongated spur (triangle bit) that presses against the wedge that is on the frame when the handle is closed. They are usually found on older aluminium windows or uPVC casement windows that don't have an internal mechanism to secure the frame - so they depend on the cockspur handle to keep them in place.

These handles are available in a large selection of nose and nib height options to accommodate different profiles. These handles are also suitable for right and left hand window systems. They're the ideal solution for those who want to replace a handle that is worn or damaged, but do not require more complex internal gadgets.

Our Sparta Cockspur handle is constructed of top-quality materials and is popular for a broad range of applications. It features a sleek ergonomic look and is equipped with the standard deadlock cylinder that can improve security. It is available in a variety of backset heights that fit all sizes of common casements and can be used along with a full set of matching window accessory.

In-line cockspurs are straight, and can be turned either left or right. Cranked cockspurs have an elongated "nose" which is affixed to an aluminum plate that is attached to the frame. It's easy to use and can be easily locked or unlocked by using keys for additional security.

Espagnolette handles are considered more secure than cockspur models because they utilize a spinning spindle that operates multiple locks concealed within the frame. These handles are a great solution for those looking for an extra secure handle for their double-glazing. They come in a variety of styles to fit your home's decor.

It's important to measure your windows before purchasing new frames. This will ensure that the spindle and handle are the right size for the new frames. Choose a handle that is in line with the Secured By Design minimum requirements.

Handles that turn and tilt

Tilt and turn windows are becoming more popular due to their design efficiency, effectiveness and the benefits they bring. They provide multiple opening options and can be opened in a variety of ways, which aids in cleaning, allowing fresh air into the home or allowing for an escape route for fire.

These handles are similar to espagnolette handles however they have additional features that make them more suitable to turn and tilt windows. The lever can be set down when locked to shut the windows or 90 degrees to open it like a window or upwards to open the window.

They have an advanced locking mechanism that is more effective against forced entry than double-glazed casement windows. The outer bottom hinge has metal locking pins that are inserted to a rail of metal across the frame's inner side when the handle is in the closed position. Two additional hinges on the corners of the bottom can also be opened up to hold the inner window in place. This feature is perfect for larger windows, and allows for better ventilation.

The open mode is activated by turning the handle in such a way that it faces up. It opens the window in the vertical direction, which allows for better ventilation and makes cleaning easier. This is because the sash can be pulled upwards from either side of the window to create a gap that is sufficient for an incline or ladder to pass through.

Tilt and turn handles are typically larger than cockspur or espag handles as they need to be able to handle the bigger and heavier frame sizes they can be found in. They are spindle-based, and employ the same kind of fixings that an ordinary handle made of espag or cockspur employs, but they have a larger base and often larger screw centers.

uPVC frames that are less expensive than aluminium or timber and don't require painting are the most well-known for these windows. However, there are many wood-effect finishes that are available. Aluminium is also an option for these kinds of windows, since it's lighter and can be painted to match your home's style.

Handles for blades or spades

It is crucial to select handles that match the style and functionality. The closing and locking mechanisms of your uPVC window are equally important as their frame. This allows you to make use of them efficiently and without hassle. Also, you must make sure that the handles are of top quality and will last long, rather than breaking easily or being prone to damage.

The blade handle, also known as the spade, is among the most commonly used types of handles. They are usually used on tilt and turn or casement style uPVC windows. The lever acts as a latch, catch or multi-point locking mechanism. The catch is connected to mortice stay or peg stay that sits inside the frame of your windows. It offers additional security and stability.

These handles are typically employed on double-glazed uPVC casement or tilt-and-turn windows. door handles are designed to be more comfortable and offer a greater amount of leverage to open the window, making them more convenient to operate. They are also available in a range of designs to suit most interior styles and tastes.

The handle will include a spindle (7mm) protruding from the back. This spindle is used to encircle and penetrate the gearbox that is inside the window of the multi-point lock system. This lets the window be closed and locked with greater security. Handles are available in a variety of sizes to fit frames of different sizes. Some manufacturers also offer straight and bent versions.

You can also up the security of your uPVC windows by choosing handles with the key lock mechanism. These are ideal for uPVC windows and doors that are frequently used because they permit you to lock your door or window from the outside, making it more difficult for burglars to get in by forcing open or manipulating the handle.

There are arguments both for and against a locking handle. We believe it's a good idea because it can provide an additional layer of security to your home. Even if you're not concerned about burglars trying to break into your property, the fact that they'll encounter more difficulty getting past the key-locking handle is likely to discourage them and make it less of a target.
