Replacement Handles For Windows

Double-glazed windows are a popular feature. Over time, they can become rusted or worn out.

To replace a UPVC window handle you need to know the spindle length of your existing handle and also the fixings. This can be accomplished by looking at the base of the previous handle.

Handle

Over time, uPVC window handles and locks can become damaged due to wear and tear, or accidental or deliberate damage. It can be that the handle or lock becomes difficult to open or close, or that they are not locked at all. It could be tempting to replace your entire window unit if this occurs, but it's not always required. In most instances the case, a new handle or lock is enough.

The espagnolette design is the most common uPVC window handle. The handle is equipped with an outer spindle that extends out of the handle. It is inserted into a gearbox, which controls the multipoint locking system inside the window. It's important to match the appropriate handle and lock to your windows to ensure that they function correctly. That's why we have a wide variety of replacement handles for all kinds of uPVC windows.

When replacing a uPVC window handle it is a good idea to use screw cover caps in order to ensure the screws are secure and protect them from corrosion. You can also make use of a spacer, washer or another sealant to make a more secure fit. A screw cap on the handle will also keep debris and water from entering the handle and cause damage.

After taking the handle out of the window, it's recommended to clean both the spindle as well as the threaded part of the bolt. This will ensure that the handle fits and functions properly. It will also keep dirt out of the multipoint lock.

The next step is to install the new uPVC handle. Be sure to go through the directions that come with the new handle and review the previous one to get a better idea of how to do it. Usually, the process is simple. If you do encounter any issues that aren't covered in this guide, it's best to get in touch with our team for more advice.

The step height is the distance between the base of the window and the point where the cockspur handles sits.

Hinges

If your windows are starting to close and open with a visible gap, this could be due to the hinges not being aligned with the frame.

These include standard casement hinges, which can be used with the tilt and turn handle, or a regular handle as well as fire escape egress sash hinges, designed for larger side hung windows. They are designed to be opened fully in the event of a crisis and incorporate an easy-clean position for ease of cleaning.

In general, the sizes in metric are more precise but this is not really evident when they are fitted. 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. We advise that you measure the holes in your existing frame prior to purchasing any upvc hinges to ensure that they are the right dimensions.

Crank

Over time, 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 impact their security. If you notice that your window is difficult to open or close, or you hear a click sound when turning the handle, it may be an indication that you have to replace the crank mechanism. If you can't close your window or the multipoint locks are broken, it could be worth replacing the crank mechanism as well.

A new window crank can be replaced with minimal effort, but it's important to make sure you buy the right size replacement. You can determine whether the new one has the exact same step height as the original one by measuring the distance from the crank arm guide bushing to the notch on the track at the bottom of the frame. Alternatively, you can determine the length of the spindle on your existing handle to determine the size you need to replace it with.

The type of handle you choose for your window will determine the type of crank mechanism you need for your casement and window awnings. Espag conservatory door handles are equipped with a mental spindle at the back which is fixed to the frame of the window and is the motor that drives the mechanism. Cockspur handles have pegs which are fixed into place by three or even four screws that are inserted in the sash as well as the frame.

It's easy to replace your window operator once you have identified the correct replacement. First, take off any trim mounting screws on the casement cover of your window and carefully lift it up to reveal the insides of the window operator (Photo 1). Remove any rusted trim screws and then check the operating lever with the old upvc window handles to ensure that they match. Attach the new lever to your window frame. Replace any screws that are rusted or bent. Then, you can place the casement cover over the mechanism.
