If you're planning to replace your current uPVC window handle with an espag type handle, you will have to determine the size of the spindle that is fitted and measure this from the base of the handle to ensure you purchase the correct replacement windows and doors.

It is recommended to replace the cockspur wedge block with a new one when changing your uPVC handle to ensure that it is securely secured.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are generally found on older uPVC and aluminium windows. The handle is closed and then turns into a wedge-shaped plastic catch. (Not to be confused with timber latches which are also covered in this section.) The handles are available in lockable and nonlockable models. They are available in a range of different nose heights to fit the frame.

The handle locks by an small spur (little triangle bit) pulling against a wedge of plastic that is fixed to the frame. These are usually one-way handles, but a locking deadlock can be fitted to provide additional security.

The replacement handles for cockspurs are easy to install. All you need is the correct backset and a brand new set (supplied). The backset is measured from the baseplate to the nose on the underside of the handle. Aluminium window frames are usually 9mm wide, whereas UPVC is 21mm wide. There are many other variations however, so it is crucial to measure before buying the handle (see video below for how).

The spindle, or in certain instances, the entire handle assembly is removed by unwinding the handle. The replacement handle can then be screwed in place using two pozidriv screws. The pozidriv screw can be purchased in a brass or a zinc finish, to match existing hardware. There is also a choice for a self-locking pozidriv screw.

The handles are available in left and right-handed models, as well as lockable and nonlockable models. They are also available in a variety nose heights.

Turn and tilt

Tilt and turn windows are a premium European window design that has been in use for a long time in Europe but is just starting to catch on stateside. The windows are a combination of three window styles - tilt, in-swing and pivot. They are perfect for older homes since they are more breathable than standard windows.

When in the closed position tilt and turn windows lock like the normal fixed window. But, by turning the handle 90° or 180@ (depending on the kind of tilt and turn window) the sash can be opened inward and the window will tilt in order to allow air circulation through the space at the top of the frame. This is an excellent way to allow air circulation without opening an enormous, potentially dangerous window.

The sash can also be fully opened by turning the handle 90@ or 180@. This allows for full air exchange which is especially beneficial in rooms with a lot of draft or homes where smoke or other odors can build up. This makes it easier to clean the glass's outside by doing it from inside your home. This is a task that can be a risky task.

Tilt and turn windows are very secure. They are very difficult to open if locked in closed position.

This feature is particularly beneficial for older homes, where burglars tend to target windows which can be opened by the side hinges.

This is called handing and is a crucial element to consider, particularly when purchasing online since some handle styles don't work with all windows. For instance, certain handles are angled whilst others are straight and will turn either left or right. You should also know what the spindle's length is that is the distance from the base of the handle to the top of the handle.

Another crucial aspect of selecting the correct handle is knowing whether your windows require a restrictor or not. These are typically found in high rise flats or commercial properties, but they're not required for the majority of homes. It is also important to take into consideration the step height, which is the distance between the screw plate and the nose of handle.

The word spade is derived from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada. It has been translated into many languages, including German spaten and Low German spathen. During the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s in New York City the word spade was used to denigrate black people. Since then, the word has become an emblem of African American pride and heritage.

It is important to get the correct size when replacing a Cadenza-style handle. The handles are available in straight and angled designs that differ by just a few millimetres. The handle head is available in a variety shapes that include a D or T shape. It can also be left without handles.
