Double glazed windows are a very popular feature. As time passes, they may become rusty or worn down.

You'll have to know your current handle's length of the spindle and its fixings before you replace it. This can be done by examining the base of the previous handle.

Handle

Over time, uPVC window locks and handles may be damaged due to wear and tear or intentional or accidental damage. It can be that the handle or lock becomes difficult to open or close, or that they are not locked at all. If this happens, it could be tempting to replace the entire window unit, but this isn't always the case. In most cases the case, a new handle or lock is all that's needed.

The espagnolette style is the most well-known uPVC window handle. It has a spindle that extends from the handle and is inserted into a gearbox that operates the multipoint locking mechanism inside the window. It's important to match the right handle and lock to your windows to ensure they work together properly, which is why we have a wide variety of replacement handles and hinges for all kinds of uPVC windows.

It's recommended to replace the handle of a uPVC handle, to use screw covers to protect the screws from corrosion and to keep them secure. You can also use a washer, spacer or another sealant to make a tighter fit. A screw cap that is on the handle will also keep water and debris from getting into the handle and damaging the handle.

After the handle is removed from the window it's an ideal idea to scrub the spindle of the new handle and also the threaded part of the bolt. This will ensure that the handle is fitted and functions properly and will also prevent dirt from entering the multipoint lock.

The next step is to put in the uPVC handle. It is essential to follow the instructions provided with the new handle and to take a look at the old one prior to starting to understand how to proceed. The process is usually very simple. If you run into any issues that aren't covered in this guide, we recommend reaching out to our team for more information.

It's also worth noting that if you're replacing window handles a uPVC handle with a cockspur (also known as an Espag handle) you must examine the step height of the window in order to determine the proper size of handle. The step height is the distance from the frame or base of the window to where the cockspur's nose handle sits when installed.

Hinges

If your windows begin to close and open with a visible gap, it can be caused by the hinges not being in line with the frame. It's usually a simple fix that can be fixed by replacing the hinges. We can offer a variety of different options, and can even customize the dimensions of the hinges to suit your needs.

If you have a conventional upvc or timber window, we can supply a wide range of different kinds of window hinges. These are available in a choice of colours to match the frames of your existing windows and come with all fixings for fitting. We can supply repair screw packs for double-glazed windows that have older style hinges. This allows you to cut the old thread back into the frame.

We offer a range of hinge styles including traditional casement window hinges that can be used with a normal or tilt and turn handle through to fire escape egress hinges that are suitable for use on larger sized side hung windows. These are designed to be opened fully in an emergency and have an easy-clean position for ease of cleaning. We also have hinges that are restricted in egress and are designed to restrict the opening angle of the window to 100mm maximum, ideal for family homes with children.

The sound of a hinge squeaking can be an indication that hinges are worn out, this is often due to the rubbing of metal against. A small amount of lubricant may help but when the noise continues to recur, it is likely that the hinges will require replacement.

Plumb windows help avoid optional binding, which means that the operating sash of the window is line with the frame, ensuring that it opens and closes properly. If a window is not plumb, it might have trouble closing and opening or becoming stretched over time, which can cause problems with the seal and appearance of the window.

You can purchase replacement windows hinges made of upvc that are available in imperial or metric sizes. The sizes that are metric tend to be slightly more precise, however it's not noticeable once they are put in. The first corner fixing holes on the track and arm are of a standard size, but the rest can vary in length depending on the original hardware. You should take measurements of the spacing of holes on your frame to make sure that the upvc hinges you buy are the right size.

Crank

Normal wear and tear over time can result in damage to the window handle, lock, or crank mechanism. This could make it difficult to open and close your windows. It can also compromise their security. If you notice that your window is hard to open or close, or hear a clicking noise when you turn the handle, it could be an indication that you need to replace the crank mechanism. If you are unable to lock your window or the multipoint lock is broken, it may also be worth looking into replacing this piece of hardware too.

It's simple to replace a window crank with minimal effort. However, it's crucial to buy the correct size replacement. You can tell whether the new one has the exact same height of step as the original one by measuring the distance from the guide for the crank arm bushing to the notch on the track at the bottom of the frame. Alternatively, you can take a measurement of the length of the spindle on your current handle to find out what size you will need to replace it with.

The kind of window handle you have will determine which kind of crank mechanism you need for your casement or awning windows. Espag handles have a spindle that is a mental component on the back, which is connected to the frame of the window and is the motor for the window mechanism while cockspur handle have pegs which are fixed in place by screws of three or four which are fitted into the frame and sash.

Once you've identified the right replacement, it's easy to fit. Remove any screws for mounting trims from the casement cover and gently lift the cover off to expose the insides of the window operator (Photo 1). Compare the new lever to the old one and take off any trim screws that are rusted. Then, screw the new lever to the window frame, replace any screws that were rusted or bent, then put the casement cover back over the mechanism.
