Window Handles

Window handles come in a variety of styles and colours to suit your home. They can be used to open and close double-glazed windows with a hidden locking mechanism.

When replacing your handle it is essential to check the spindle length. This is how far the nose extends out of the base plate or how far in it goes into the lock.

Espag Handles

Espag handles are used to operate multi-point locks within double glazed windows. The handle can be rotated around the window to increase security. Our collection of espagnolette handles includes straight and cranked styles, in various finishes such as chrome, brass and black.

Each handle is made from durable die cast zinc and powder coated or plated to provide high resistance to corrosion, impact resistance and protection against wear. They are specifically designed to be used with uPVC or aluminium windows that have the espagnolette or shot bolt mechanisms. They can be locked in the closed position with either a key or a push button.

Typically, espagnolette handles have seven millimeter squared spindles that runs through the lever backplate to fit into a lock mechanism within the sash frame, turning the handle will activate the lock. It is essential to think about the size of the spindle when selecting a new handle for your window that is espagnolette. This will determine the way it will open. The size of the spindle will be marked on the handle backplate with numbers like 5 3/4', '5', or '2/3'. This is what you should compare to your existing handle to ensure it will fit.

Cranked windows with espagnolette handles are a great alternative to straight designs and can be offered in left-handed (opened clockwise) or right-handed (opened anti-clockwise) models based on how you open your window. The cranked design gives you more space to open the window. This is ideal for windows that are close to the frame.

The cockspur is a variation of the espagnolette handle with a cockspur that closes with a striker plate similar to an espagnolette multiple-point lock. This handle can be used to repair the cockspur handles that were previously used on UPVC or aluminium windows.

The key-lock insert can be used for both cockspur as well as cranked handle models. They come with a choice of handles and come with a blanking plug in black if prefer your window handle to be unlocked or to use it solely as a fire egress.

Cockspur Handles





The cockspur is a traditional window handle with the spur, or triangular bit that presses against the frame's wedge as the handle is closed. They are typically found on older aluminium or uPVC windows that lack an internal mechanism that secures the frame. The cockspur handles keep them in place.

Tilt and Turn Handles

Tilt and turn windows are becoming more popular due to their design as well as the efficiency they offer. They allow for multiple opening options and can be opened in different ways, which aids in cleaning as well as allowing fresh air into the home or allowing for the fire escape.

These handles are similar to espagnolette handles but they have additional functions which make them better suited to tilt and turn windows. The lever can be set downwards when locked to close the windows, 90 degrees to tilt it open like a window or upwards to normally open the window.

They have an advanced locking mechanism that is more efficient against forced entry than double-glazed casement windows. When the handle is closed, the outer lower hinge has locking pins that are encased in a metal rail that runs through the frame. The window's interior is held in place by two hinges located in the corners of the bottom that can be opened upwards this makes them ideal for windows with larger openings and also great for ventilation.

The open mode is activated by turning the handle in such a way that it is facing up. It opens the window in the vertical direction that allows for better ventilation and makes cleaning easier. The sash is able to be pushed to the side that is facing the windows to create a space large enough to accommodate an incline or a stool through.

Tilt-and-turn handles are typically larger than cockspur and espag handles because they have to be able to handle the larger and heavier frames of the same sizes. They are spindle-based and utilize the exact same fixings that an ordinary handle made of espag or cockspur employs, but they have a wider base and usually larger screw centers.

uPVC frames are the most commonly used for these kinds of windows as they're cheaper than aluminium or timber frames and don't require painting, however, there are a variety of wood-effect finishes available. Aluminium is another option for these kinds of windows as it's lighter and can be painted to match your home's existing design.

One of the most sought-after kinds of handle is a spade or blade handle. They are usually used on tilt and turn or casement-style uPVC windows. They operate by using an operating lever that controls an latch and catch or multi-point lock mechanism. The catch is attached to a mortice stay or peg stay, which is placed in the frame of your windows. It offers extra security and stability.

They are designed to be more comfortable and offer a greater amount of leverage to open the window, making them more convenient to operate.

The handle will have a spindle (7mm) protruding from the back. This spindle is used to engage and enter the gearbox that is inside the window of the multi-point lock system. The window can be closed and locked more securely. The handles are also available in a range of sizes to fit different sizes of frames. Some manufacturers also offer straight and angled versions too.
