Window Handles

Window handles are available in a variety of colours and styles to suit your home. They are operated by a locking mechanism that is concealed within the frame. This allows you to open and close your double-glazed windows.

It is essential to measure the spindle when replacing your handle. This is how far the nose extends out of the base plate, or how much further inside it is the lock.

Espag Handles

Espag handles can be used to operate multi-point locks on double glazed windows which allows the handle to turn a set of locks around the window for increased security. Our selection of espagnolette handle includes both straight and cranked styles, in various finishes including chrome, brass and black.

Each handle is crafted from durable die-cast zinc and powder-coated or plated to provide high resistance to corrosion and impact strength, as well as protection from abrasion. They are specifically designed to be used with uPVC or aluminum windows that feature espagnolette or shot bolt mechanisms. They can be locked into the closed position by using either a key or a push button.

The espagnolette handle is usually a 7mm squared rod that goes through the backplate of the lever and into the lock mechanism inside the frame of the sash. Turning the handle activates the lock mechanism. It is important to consider the spindle size when choosing the handle you want to use for your espagnolette window. This will determine how it will open. The size of the spindle will be outlined on the backplate of the handle with numbers such as 5 3/4', '5', or '2/3' and this is what you need to measure against the handle you have currently to ensure it will fit.

Cranked espagnolette window handles are a different option to straight designs and can be supplied in left-handed (opened clockwise) or right-handed (opened anti-clockwise) models based on how you open your window. The cranked style is designed to give you more hand space when opening the window, making it ideal for windows that may be close to the frame's edge.

The cockspur handle is a different variant of the espagnolette design, but this one with a cockspur nose that is closed onto the striker plate in a similar manner to an espagnolette multi-point lock. This type of handle is suitable for older UPVC as well as aluminium windows. It can be used as an repair handle to replace old broken cockspur handles.

Cockspur Handles

The cockspur is a common window handle that has an elongated spur, or a triangle bit that presses against the frame's wedge as the handle is closed. They are usually found on older aluminum or uPVC windows without an internal mechanism to secure the frame. The cockspur handles hold them together.

These handles come in a range types of window handles nib and nose heights to match a variety of profiles. They're also suitable for left and right hand window systems.

Tilt and Turn Handles

The functionality and benefits of tilt and turn windows is growing. They have a variety of opening options and can be opened in different ways to allow fresh air into the home, or to provide a fire escape.

These handles are similar to espagnolette handles, however, they come with additional functions that make them better suited to turn and tilt windows. The lever can be positioned downwards when locked to shut the window, and 90 degrees to tilt the window open like a door, or it can be positioned upwards to open the window as normal.

They have an innovative multipoint lock mechanism that is more effective than double-glazed casement windows against forced entry. The outer bottom hinge has metal locking pins that are inserted into a metal rail along the inner frame when the handle is in a closed position. The inner window is also held in place by two more hinges in the bottom corners that can be opened upwards, a feature which makes them ideal for windows that are larger and also great for ventilation.

The open mode is activated when the handle is turned facing upwards and opens the window by vertical tilt, which allows for healthy airflow and makes cleaning much easier than ever. The sash is able to be pushed into the opposite direction on both sides of the windows to create a space large enough to fit a ladder or a stool through.

Tilt-and-turn handles are typically larger than cockspur and espag handles because they have to be able to handle larger and larger frame sizes. They are spindle-based, and employ the exact same type of fixings that an ordinary handle made of espag or cockspur employs, but they have a wider base and often larger screw centers.

uPVC frames, which are cheaper than timber or aluminium and don't require painting, are the most popular for these windows. However there are numerous wood-effect finishes to choose from. Aluminium is another option for these windows, since it's lighter and can be painted to match the existing style.

Spade or Blade Handles

The locking and closing mechanisms of your uPVC window are just as important as the frame. This allows you to use them effectively and without hassle. You also want to make sure that the handles are of a top quality and will last for a long time, instead of breaking easily or being prone to damage.

One of the most well-known kinds of handle is a blade or spade handle. These are typically used on tilt and turn or casement-style uPVC windows. They work by having the lever which operates an latch and catch or multi-point lock mechanism. The catch is usually connected to a peg stay or mortice keep that is placed within the frame of your window and provides additional security and stability.

These replacement handles for upvc windows are usually used on double glazed uPVC casement or tilt-and-turn windows. They are designed for greater ergonomics and provide more leverage for opening the windows, making them more convenient. They are available in a variety of styles to fit any style of interior.

The handle itself will have a spindle (7mm square) that extends out from the back of it which is used to connect with and enter the gearbox of the multi-point locking system that is inside the window. The window can be closed and locked more securely. The handles are also available in a range of sizes to fit various sizes of frames. Some manufacturers offer straight and angled versions too.

You can also up the security of your uPVC windows by choosing handles that come with keys that lock the window. These are great for uPVC windows and doors which are often used. They permit you to secure the door or window from the outside. This makes it more difficult for burglars to force open the handle or force the door open.
