Window Handles

Window handles are available in a number of different styles and colors to fit your home. They have a locking mechanism concealed within the frame to allow you to close and open the double glazed windows.

When replacing your handle, it is crucial to examine the spindle length. This is the length at which the nose extends from the base plate or how far in it will go into the lock.





Espag Handles

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

Each handle is constructed of robust die cast zinc and powder coated or plated to provide high resistance to corrosion, impact resistance and protection against wear. They are specifically designed to be used with uPVC or aluminium windows that have the espagnolette or shot bolt mechanisms. They can be locked into a closed position using a key or a push button.

The handle of an espagnolette is typically 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 this lock. It is essential to think about the spindle size when choosing a new handle for your espagnolette window. This will determine the way it can be opened. The size of the spindle is identified by a number on the handle's backplate, such as 5" 3/4" or '2/3" and you'll need to measure this against your existing handle in order to determine if it will fit.

Cranked espagnolette handles are an alternative design for straight handles. They can be ordered in either left-handed versions (opened clockwise) and right-handed versions (opened anticlockwise) in accordance with the method you use to open your window. The cranked design provides more room to open the window. This is ideal for windows close to the frame.

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

Cockspur Handles

The cockspur is a common window handle that has the spur, or triangular bit that presses against the wedge on the frame when the handle is closed. They are usually found on older aluminium windows or on uPVC casement windows which do not have an internal mechanism for securing the frame. Therefore, they depend on the cockspur handle to hold them together.

These handles come in a range of nib and nose heights to match different profiles. They're also suited for both left and right-hand window systems. They're the ideal solution for those looking to replace a window handle that's worn out or damaged, but don't require more complex internal gadgets.

Our Sparta cockspur handle is made of top-quality materials and is popular for a broad range of applications. It features a sleek ergonomic look and is equipped with an ordinary deadlock cylinder to increase security. It is available in a variety of backset heights that are compatible with all typical casements. It can be used along with a complete suite of window accessories that match.

In-line cockspurs are straight and can be turned either left or right. Cranked cockspurs have a small "nose" that sits over an aluminum plate that is attached to the frame. It's easy to use and can be easily locked or unlocked by using a key for added security.

Espagnolette handles are regarded to be more secure than cockspur handles since they have spinning spindles that operate multiple locks hidden in the frame. These handles are the perfect solution for those looking for a secure handle for their double-glazing. They come in a variety of designs to match your home.

If you're purchasing a new set of double-glazed window handles, it's essential to to measure up your existing windows and make sure whether the dimensions of the spindle and handle will be suitable for your new frames. Choose a product which meets the Secured By Design minimum requirements.

Tilt and Turn Handles

The advantages and utility of tilt and turn windows is growing. They allow for multiple opening options and can be opened in different ways, which aids in cleaning convenience and allows fresh air to enter your home, or providing the fire escape.

These handles are similar to espagnolette handles, however they have additional features which make them better suited to turn and tilt windows. The lever can be set down when locked to close the windows or 90 degrees to tilt it open like a window or upwards to open the window normally.

They have a multipoint lock mechanism which is more efficient than double-glazed casement windows against forced entry. The hinges on the bottom of the outer frame have metal locking pins that are engaged into a rail made of steel within the frame when the handle is in its closed position. The inner window is also secured by two hinges in the corners of the bottom that can be opened to the side and outwards, which makes them ideal for windows with larger openings and great for air circulation.

The open mode can be activated by turning the handle so that it is facing upwards. It opens the window in a vertical tilt which provides better ventilation and makes cleaning easier. The sash can be pulled into the opposite direction on both sides of the windows to create a gap large enough to accommodate an incline or a stool through.

Tilt and turn handles are usually larger than espag or cockspur handles due to the fact that they have to be able to take on the heavier and larger frame sizes they are available in. They are typically spindle-based and use the same type of fixings that are used in a standard cockspur or espag handle, but will have wider bases and typically larger screw centres.

uPVC frames, which are cheaper than timber or aluminium, and do not require painting are the most sought-after for these windows. However, there are many wood-effect finishes available. Aluminium is another option for these kinds of windows as it can be painted in any color to match the style of your house and is lighter than uPVC.

Spade or Blade Handles

If you're upgrading your uPVC windows or replacing those that came with the property it is essential to select handles that match the design and function of the window. The locking and closing mechanisms of your uPVC window are as important as their frame. This lets you use them effectively and without hassle. It is also important to make sure that the handles are of a top quality and will last long, rather than breaking easily or becoming susceptible to damage.

One of the most popular kinds of handles is a blade or spade handle. They are commonly used on tilt-and-turn or casement style uPVC Windows. The lever is used to operate either a catch, latch or multi-point locking mechanism. The catch is usually connected to a peg stopper or mortice keep, which is positioned within the frame of your window and provides more security and stability.

These handles are usually used on double-glazed uPVC casement windows or tilt-and-turn windows. They are designed to be more comfortable and offer a greater amount of leverage to open the window, making them simpler to use. They are also available in a variety of designs to suit most interior styles and tastes.

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

You can also increase the security of uPVC windows by using handles with a key lock system. These are perfect for uPVC windows and doors which are often used. They permit you to lock the window or door from the outside. This makes it difficult for burglars to force open the handle or break the door to open.

There are arguments for and against a lock handle. We believe it's a good idea because it can provide an additional layer of security to your home. Even if you are not worried about intruders trying to enter your property however the fact that they'll have more difficulty in getting beyond the handle of the key lock is likely to dissuade them and make it less of a target.
