Espag handles, also known as shootbolts, give more security than the single point lock that is found on older window frames.

If you're planning to replace your existing uPVC window handle with an espag type handle, you'll need to identify the size of the spindle that is installed and measure it from the base of the handle to ensure that you purchase the correct replacement. This measurement, referred to as the step height will help you select the best uPVC window handle for your home.

If you have to remove screws that secure the handle, you can use pliers or a screwdriver. Once you have done this then you need to disassemble the handle by removing the screw or pins that secure the spindle before taking away from the window.

They are available in a range of different nose sizes to match the existing frame.

The handle is secured by a small triangle-shaped spur (spur) which is fixed to the frame. These are generally one way handles, however the deadlock cylinder with a locking mechanism is a possibility to add security.

As with Espag handles, replacement handles for cockspur handles are simple to install, all you need is a new set of screws (supplied) and the proper backset. 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 other variations though so it is important to measure the handle prior to purchasing the handle (see the video below for more details on how).

The spindle, or in some instances the entire handle assembly can be removed by unscrewing the handle. The replacement handle is then fixed using a pair pozidrivs screws. The pozidriv screw comes in a brass or a zinc finish to match existing hardware. There is also an option for a self-locking pozidriv screw.

Turn and Tilt

The most prestigious European window style of tilt and turn has been in use in Europe for a long time, but it's just now beginning to take off in the Americas. The windows are a combination of three different window styles: tilt, in-swing, and pivot. This makes them ideal for older homes, as they can be used to provide a greater level of airflow than standard window styles.

When tilt and turn windows are closed, they are locked like any other fixed window. By turning the handle 90@ or 180@, based on the type of tilt-and-turn window, the sash will open to the outside and the window will tilt inward to allow air circulation. This is a great way to let air circulate without opening a large, potentially dangerous window.

If the handle is turned 90or 180 degrees the sash can be fully opened like doors. This allows for complete air circulation which is especially useful for rooms that are smoky or where smoke or other smells are likely to accumulate. It also makes cleaning the exterior of the glass much more easy because it can be done from inside the house which usually requires ladders that are not safe.

Tilt-and-turn windows are also very safe. When locked in a closed position, they are very difficult to open from the outside, and they feature double seals to prevent rainwater from entering the house when in the tilted in-swing position. This can be a particularly useful feature for older homes where intruders are more likely to target traditional windows that are opened using the side hinges.

For instance, some handles are angled while others are straight and either turn left or right. You'll also need the spindle's size which is the distance between the base of handle and the handle's head.

Identifying whether or not your windows require a limiter is also important when choosing the appropriate handle. They are generally used in high-rise flats or commercial buildings, however they are not a requirement for homes used by the homeowner. Also, consider step height which is the distance from the bottom of the screw plate to the apex of the handle.

The word spade comes from Old English spadu or spaedu and has been translated in several languages, including German spaten and Low German Spathen. During the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s in New York City the word spade was used to mock black people. Since then spade has become an emblem of African American pride and heritage.

It is crucial to select the right size when replacing a handle that is Cadenza-style. Handles are available in straight and angled versions that differ by only a few microns. The handle head may change between a D and a T shape, or even have no handles at all.
