Replacement Upvc Window Handles

Most replacement upvc windows handles include everything you need. However should you find that your old handle was held in place by screws or pins, they'll need to be removed. Remove the'snap-in' cover at the base of the handle.

Next you will need to determine the type of window and lock your new handle is for - this is crucial!

Espag

Espag handles are a multipoint lock system that can be installed on casement windows like uPVC and wooden double glazing. They feature a 7mm square spindle that fits into the gearbox on the window made of uPVC. When the handle is turned, it opens a series of locks around the perimeter of the window. Espag handles, also referred to as shootbolts, give more security than the single point lock found on older window frames.

They are available in a range of different options such as inline and cranked handle designs that can be used either left or right hand operation. There are also ergonomic handles that enhance the look and feel of your window, as well as handles.

If you are looking to replace your current uPVC window handle with an espag handle, you'll be required to determine the dimensions of the spindle installed and measure it from the base of the handle to ensure that you get the right replacement. This measurement is known as step height and can assist you in finding the ideal uPVC handle for your home.

You may have to remove any screw covers that are protecting the screws that hold the handle in place and if this is the case, use a screwdriver or pliers to take out the pins that hold the handle. Once you have done this then you must disassemble the handle by taking out the screws or pins that hold the spindle before taking away from the window.

After removing the handle you can 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 on the wedge block of the cockspur and then into the handle spindle and allow the window to open once again. It is recommended to replace the wedge block cockspur with an entirely new one when you change your uPVC handle to ensure it is properly secured.
