Replacement Handles For Windows

Double-glazed windows are a common feature. They can wear down over time and become rusty or worn down.

To replace a UPVC window handle you need to know the spindle length of the handle you are replacing and also the fixings. The best method to do this is by looking at the base of the handle you have previously replaced.

Handle

Over time, uPVC window handles and locks may be damaged by wear and tear, accidental or deliberate damage. This could result in the handle or lock becomes difficult to open or close, or that it's not locked in any way. If this happens, it could be tempting to replace the whole window unit, but it's not always necessary. It's usually the scenario that a replacement handles for windows handle or lock will suffice.

The most popular type of uPVC window handle is the espagnolette. The handle comes with a spindle that protrudes out of the handle. It slots into a gearbox that operates the multipoint locking system inside the window. We carry a wide selection of replacement handles for windows handles and locks for all types of uPVC window to ensure they function properly.

It's an ideal idea to replace the uPVC handle, to use screw covers to shield the screws from corrosion and to keep them secure. You can also employ a washer, spacer or other sealant to ensure a more secure fit. A screw cap will stop debris and water from entering the handle, causing damage.

After removing the handle from the window, it's recommended to clean both the spindle as well as the threaded portion of the bolt. This will ensure that the handle is fitted and functions properly. It will also stop dirt from entering the multipoint lock.

The next step is to put in the uPVC handle. It's important that you follow the instructions provided with the new handle and to take a look at your old one before you begin in order to get an idea of how to do it correctly. Most of the time, the process is simple. If you do encounter any issues that aren't covered in this guide, it's best to contact our team for further guidance.

It is also important to note that if you're replacing the uPVC cockspur handle (also called an Espag handle) you will need to examine the step height of the window to find the right size of handle. The steps height is the distance between the base of the window and the place where the handles of the cockspur are.

Hinges

If your windows are starting to close and open with a visible gap, this could be due to the hinges not being in line with the frame. This is usually a simple fix that can be resolved with a new set of replacement window hinges. We have a variety of different options and even customize the dimensions of the hinges to suit your requirements.

We can supply different types of hinges for Upvc and timber windows. The hinges are available in various colors to match the existing window frames. They also come with all the fixings you need to set them up. If you have a double-glazed window that has an older style of hinge, we can also supply a range of repair screw packs that allow you to re-cut the old thread form back into the frame.

We offer a range of hinge styles that range from traditional casement window hinges that can be used with a standard or tilt and turn handle, through to fire escape egress hinges that are suitable for use on larger side-hung windows. These are designed to be opened completely in the event of an emergency and incorporate an easy-clean position that makes it easy to clean. We also have hinges with restricted-egress designed to restrict the opening angle of windows to a maximum of 100mm. This is ideal for homes with children.

A squeaky hinge could indicate that the hinges need to be replaced. It's typically due to metal friction against metal. A small drop of lubricant may help but when the noise continues to recur, it is likely that the hinges will require replacement.

This is because plumb windows are capable of avoiding binding options. The operating sash is aligned with the frame, and the window will open and close in a proper manner. A window that isn't plumb might have trouble opening and closing, or may become damaged over time, causing problems with the seal and appearance of the window.

When you purchase replacement windows made of upvc hinges, you should be aware that they can be bought in either imperial or sizes in metric. The sizes in metric are a little more precise, however this isn't really noticeable when they are put in. The first corner holes on the track are standard but the others may differ based on the hardware that was originally used. You should take measurements of the spacing of holes on your frame to make sure that the hinges made of upvc you purchase are the correct dimensions.

Crank

Over time, normal wear and tear could result in damage to your window handle, lock or crank mechanism. This can make it difficult to open and close your windows. It can also compromise their security. If you notice that your window is difficult to open or close, or you hear a clicking noise when you turn the patio door handle with lock, it could be an indication that you need to replace the crank mechanism. If you're unable to close your window or the multipoint locks are broken, it could be worth replacing this part also.

A new window crank can easily be replaced with little effort, but it's crucial to ensure that you purchase the correct size replacement. Make sure that the replacement is the same height as the old one and can be measured by measuring the distance between the crank arm guide bushing and the notch on the track across the bottom of the window frame. You can also determine the spindle length on the handle you currently have to determine the size of the replacement.

The kind of window handle that you have will determine what kind of crank mechanism is needed for your casement or awning windows. Espag handles have a brain spindle at the back which is connected to the frame of the window and controls the mechanism. Cockspur bi-fold doors handles come with pegs which are fixed into the frame by three or four screws that are fitted into the sash and frame.

It's simple to replace the window operator after you've identified the correct replacement. First, remove any trim mounting screws on the window's casement cover and then carefully lift it off to reveal the insides of the window operator (Photo 1). Compare the new lever with the old one and remove any rusted trim screw. Attach the new lever to your window frame. Replace any screws that are rusted or bent. Then, you can place the casement cover on top of the mechanism.
