Espag

Espag is a handle that sits on uPVC doors and windows. These handles are used to operate the multipoint locking system which locks the uPVC casement window or timber casement when it's opened. These handles can also be found on French Doors as well as other types of window frames. These handles are the most secure for double-glazed windows as they have multiple locks that the handle turns when it is being used.

The handles are made of metal and have a shaft at the back that fits into a gearbox in the window. This allows them to operate the multi-point locks around the perimeter. These locks are available in shootbolts, roller cams, or deadbolts. They are suitable for uPVC and aluminium windows. They are available in straight or cranked models, based on the way your windows are constructed.

If you're planning to replace the handle on your uPVC window or install new windows, you should be aware of the distinction between cockspur and espag handles. This will help you select the appropriate replacement. Cockspur handles are typically installed on older double-glazed windows.

The espag mechanism is different from the cockspur mechanism in that it employs a flat, metal strip (called an espagnolette rod) that runs up the side of the window that locks. The rod is then fitted with round studs called mushrooms that move upwards and downwards when the espagnolette handle is moved. The mushrooms are then locked into a metal plate called a keep on the window frame.

When the window is closed it is secured and locked. When upvc replacement door handles is positioned vertically up, the sash moves inward around 20 degrees. This is an efficient and comfortable method to let air circulate, as air is exchanged through the top gap.

To turn the window handle, turn it until it's at 90 degrees to the lock position. The sash will then open outwards and is firmly held by the hinges on the bottom. This allows the windows to be opened in a larger way to let in light and air.

Tilt and turn windows are an ideal choice for people with pets or children because they can be opened from the bottom, without allowing them to fall out of the window. The hinge at the bottom stops them from being opened to a large extent, and so they cannot be smashed by burglars.
