Espag

Espag handles are a type of multipoint locks designed to fit on casement windows like uPVC or wooden double glazing.

If you're looking to replace your current uPVC window handle with an espag type handle, you'll be required to determine the dimensions of the spindle installed and measure it from the base of the handle in order to purchase the correct replacement double glazed window. This measurement, referred to as the step height will assist you in selecting the ideal uPVC window handle for your home.

It is possible 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 remove the pins that hold the handle. After removing the pins or screws that hold the spindle in place then you can remove the handle.

After you have removed the handle, you will be able to access the locking mechanism inside the frame of the windows and remove the cockspur block connected to the handle. This will allow the window to be opened. The new uPVC window handles you have purchased will now be able to fit onto the wedge block of the cockspur and then into the handle spindle which will allow the window to open again. It is recommended to replace the cockspur wedge block a new one whenever you replace your uPVC handle to ensure that it is securely secured.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are commonly found on older uPVC or aluminium windows. The handle closes and turns into a wedge-shaped receiver catch. (Not to be confused with timber latches, which are also covered in this section.) The handles are lockable or nonlockable. They are available in a variety of nose heights that can be adjusted to the frame.

The handle locks using a small spur (little triangle bit) pulling up against a wedge made of plastic which is attached to the frame. They are usually one-way handles, however a locking deadlock cylinder is a possibility to add security.

The replacement cockspur handles are also easy to install. All you require 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 variations, so it's essential to take measurements prior to purchasing the handle.

The spindle or, in certain cases, the entire handle assembly is removed by unwinding the handle. The new handle is fixed by using a pair of pozidrivs screws.

This cockspur handle is easy to install and is perfect for replacing or repairing old uPVC Windows. They have an unidirectional design that makes them suitable for all backsets and profiles. Each handle has three packers, each having a different thickness. They are slid on the underside of the handle noses and can be stacked to achieve backsets as small as 9, 13mm, or as large 21mm. They are available in left and right handed versions, and are available in lockable or nonlockable models with a variety of nose heights.

Tilt and turn

The premium European window style with tilt and turn has been around in Europe for decades, but it's just now beginning to take off in the American market. They combine the advantages of three window types into one - tilt, pivot, and in-swing. They are great for older homes because they offer more airflow than standard windows.

When in the closed position, tilt and turn windows close like a normal fixed window replacement glass. But, by turning the handle 90@ or 180@ (depending on the kind of tilt and turn window) the window sash will open inwards and the window will tilt into allowing air to circulate through the opening at the top of the frame. This is a great solution for ventilation without the need to open a large window, which can be a safety risk if it is not secured properly when opening.

The sash can 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 where smells or smoke are likely to accumulate. It also makes cleaning the exterior of the glass much more easy because it can be done inside the home which usually requires ladders that are a bit shaky.

Tilt and turn windows are very secure. When locked in a closed position, they are difficult to open from outside, and they have double seals that prevent rainwater from entering the house when in the tilted or in-swing position. This is a beneficial feature for older homes where burglars are more likely to target windows that can be opened via the side hinges.

Spade

There are several kinds of window handles that can be installed to upvc double glazed windows. There are two kinds of handles: Cockspur and Espag. Other choices include tilt and turn handles, spade or blade handles as well as monkey tail handles and a variety of other kinds. The type of handle you select will depend on your preferences and the type of windows you have.

To choose the correct replacement for your window handle, you have to know how your existing handle is fixed to the frame. This is known as handing, and it is an important aspect to consider when purchasing online. Certain handle styles do not fit all windows. Some handles, for example, are angled while others are straight and can turn left or right. You will also need the spindle's size which is the distance between the base of handle and the head of handle.

Another aspect to consider when choosing the right handle is knowing whether your windows require a restrictor or not. They are generally used in high-rise flats or commercial structures, but are not required for domestic homes. Also, you should consider 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 and has been translated into many languages including German spaten and Low German spathen. In the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s in New York City the word spade was used to denigrate black people. Since the time, the word has become an emblem of African American pride and heritage.

When replacing the handle of a Cadenza handle, it's crucial to select the correct size. The handles are available in both straight and angled versions that differ by just a few millimetres. The handle head is available in a variety of designs, including a T or D shape. It can also be left with handles.
