Style

A lockable window handle, for example, allows you to lock windows with only one key, making it ideal for high-rise apartments. A lift rail handle can be used to "crank" open windows with awning and casement styles.

It is simple to pick the appropriate replacement handle if you are aware of how your windows are set up, and what the frame's dimensions are. First, determine the dimensions of your current handle and then look for a matching one online or at the local store.

There are many kinds of uPVC handles that can be fitted to your window. The most common handles are Espag and Cockspur, which have a spindle at the back that locks into the window locking mechanism. Other popular designs are tilt and turn handles as well as spade handles.

To replace your uPVC window handle, begin by opening your window and removing the cover that protects the screws that hold it in place. Once you have removed the screws take care to disassemble your window handle, crank arm, and gearbox to expose the fixing screws. Once you have removed the screws, remove your old handle and then place your new handle in the same place.

Locking mechanism

The handle is connected to a multi-point locking mechanism attached to the window. This makes it more difficult for burglars to enter your home and is an effective deterrent because they're less likely to be able to manipulate the handle and lock into the first place.

You might be able to replace the entire handle and lock without removing the entire frame of your window, depending on what kind of mechanism your windows have. If your uPVC windows have espagnolette locks then it is simple for anyone who is a DIYer at home to replace the handle and handle and still use a multipoint locking system.

There are a variety of different kinds of espagnolette locks, each having specific mechanisms that enable them to work. The most popular is an espag handle, that has a square spindle which extends from the back of the handle and slides into and out of the mushroom-shaped receivers on the window frame when the handle is turned.

A casement latch is a different kind of handle that functions as a door-chain lock. These are usually mounted on top of the frame or sash of the window and secure two parts to stop them from opening too large. They are also easy to replace. However, it is important to get the correct replacement for your current handle and window latch.

The window pin lock is a final type of latch. It is affixed to the sash and is designed to stop sash movement. This kind of lock might not be as secure as a casement latch, but it does provide adequate security. It also serves as a simple replacement for the broken handle.

When you are choosing a new handle and lock for your uPVC windows, it is important to determine the length of the spindle. This will allow you to find a replacement that fits your window perfectly. It is also an excellent idea to think about whether you would prefer an espagnolette handle that is cranked and opens one way only, or an inline handle that can be operated both ways.

Installation

Over time the handles on your windows could begin to exhibit signs of wear and tear, which could can lead to a replacement. It's evident when the handle is damaged or becomes difficult to turn. It could also be subtle, for instance, when it is no longer locking easily. No matter how you identify this need, it's important to replace the window handle as quickly as you can in order to ensure security and safety in your home.

Make sure the handle fits your windows before you buy it. It is crucial to check the measurements of a uPVC handle prior to replacing it. Different types may have slightly different measurements, which could make your handle not function or appear to be exactly like the window. It is also important to determine if the handle on your window is suitable intended for a casement or an awning style of window since different variations are designed specifically for each type of window.

Once you've decided on the kind of window handle that you require, you can start the process of installing it. The first step is to take the old handle out of your window. To do this you will have to remove the screw from the handle's base. Then, you'll need to remove the cap of the screw on top of the handle. Then, pull away the old handle. Then, you'll need to place the new handle into place and secure it using pins or screws.

Depending on the type of handle you've got, you'll need to decide whether you want a right or left-handed version. Inline espagnolette handles are universal, and don't need to match the handle you have. However, older uPVC handles which require handing have a set step height (the distance between the handle's nose and the frame or base), and you will need to make sure that the new handle is the same height.

After you've put the new window handle in place, you'll need to test it to be sure that it's working properly. You can do this by turning the handle to activate the lock mechanism and making sure that it's locked securely. You can now take pleasure in your new window handle.
