There are several types of uPVC window handles, such as inline espagnolette handles as well as cockspur handles. Inline espagnolette handles are fixed using two screws on an older double glazed uPVC window. Cockspur window handles are secured with three or four screws. They have an “nose” that closes over a wedge which rests on the window frame. These are usually found on tilt and turn windows (windows that open to the outside). The most frequent issue with uPVC handles is that they loosen or fall off, making them inoperable. This is usually due to a loosening or missing screw or pin, which needs to be replaced or tightened. If this is the case, it is best to replace the entire handle, not just the nut on the handle. To fix a broken uPVC window, remove the screw cap caps first. This can be done quickly using a screwdriver. Take off the screw that binds the handle to the base of the window. It's not easy however, you must be careful not to risk damaging the frame of the window. After taking the screw off, carefully unwind the screw and take the handle away from the window. Measure the spindle – the square peg that is located at the bottom of the handle. It is important to remember that the size of the spindle will differ according to the type of handle. Therefore, ensure that you purchase a replacement that has the same length as your old one. Find the spindle's measurement. uPVC windows are known for their durability and low maintenance, but the handles could get damaged or worn over time.

The length of the spindle is usually measured from the base of the handle to the end. The spindle length is crucial for the operation of window handles, which is why it is important to measure it before buying new ones. In addition to measuring the spindle, you'll also have to measure the handle itself. This is the part of the handle that is visible when the window is open. The handle is available in various in color and designs, so it's crucial to select one that complements the style of your home. A cranked handle can be bought. It can be attached directly to the frame of the window and opens from the inside. These handles can reduce the view lines of modern windows and are available in a range of shades. To avoid any future issues, it is important to determine the spindle size on a cranked handles before installing them. Espag window handles are found in uPVC windows and use with the same locking system as the cranked handles. The primary difference is that espag handles have a mental spindle at the rear of the handle, which drives the internal window mechanisms. Install the new handle Window handles and locks are crucial to ensure the security of your home. They can also provide a stylish touch to your windows.

There are two primary types of uPVC window handles such as tilt and turn. Espag handles are usually used in conjunction with a central locking mechanism and are able to open and close the window from either side. Tilt and turn window handles are commonly used for windows that don't have central locking mechanisms. They are usually found in high-rise flats. They are a great option for opening and closing the window but they can also be an excellent choice for sliding patio door. During the process of installation it is essential to remove any screw covers that could be covering the screws used to mount. Then, you'll need to insert the new handle into the mounting holes and screw it in. Then, you can put in the cap caps for screw installation. Then, you should test the new handle.

Cockspur handles are distinguished by a spur that locks over a wedge within the window frame, while Espag handles make use of a spindle to operate an locking mechanism inside the window. When choosing a replacement handle you must be aware of the spindle and step height. The step height is the distance between the base of the handle and the point where it joins the window frame. The measurement varies between different manufacturers. You should check your old handles to determine what the step height is. It's a common mistake to purchase a handle of similar to your old one, but with the wrong length of blade. This could be a problem since if you choose to use an angled blade where you should have used a flat blade the handle will fracture or make it difficult to close the window. Another thing to consider is whether you have a cranked or an in-line handle. In-line handles are equipped with a locking point in the middle and can be turned left or right. Cranked handles have an angle between the grips and the locking points and can only be rotated in one direction.
