Choosing upvc replacement door handles are a crucial part of your uPVC windows and should match to the existing frame. The size of the spindle determines if the new uPVC handles will fit.

Use the table below as a quick guide to determine the spindle length of your uPVC handle. This will help you choose the correct replacement window handle for your double glazed window.

Espag Handle

Espag handles are commonly found on Upvc (but they're also used in timber and aluminium). The handles have a square spindle which extends from the back of the handle and locks into the multi-point locking mechanism of the window. The handle is used to control the locking mechanism that is attached to the window.

Window handles from Espag come in a variety of styles and functions. Some have the option of a push button to lock them in the locking position to be locked and key-locking. (And nonlocking against fire if required.) Many of them meet the Secure by Design specification to add an additional level of security. They also come with a range of different spindle lengths, that can be adjusted using spindle sleeves that reduce the size of the protruding spindle.

The espagnolette handles we sell have been tested by Yale to ensure that they meet the strict standards you would expect from a reputable brand. They're suitable for timber, upvc and aluminum windows. We offer a range of colours, and can match the handle with the hinges you have already.

The step height is a different important aspect of the espagnolette handle. This is the distance from the bottom of the handle up to where it sits on the frame, and it is essential to ensure it's in order to ensure a secure and tight fit. Fortunately, a majority of our handle styles conform to industry standard with 43mm between the screw hole centres.

Like other types of handles you have the choice between straight and cranked designs. Cranked handles can be used in situations where the espagnolette handle is close to the frame's edge. They allow you more space to open up the window.





Our upvc handle replacement range includes a variety of styles, finishes, and colours that will suit the decor in your home, such as satin nickel, polished chrome, and antique brass. Some of our handles feature a soft-close mechanism to minimize the sound of windows slamming shut.

Cockspur Handle

The Cockspur Window Handle is a handle made specifically for the designer who wishes to provide their customers a fashionable and durable design. These handles can be used with either uPVC windows or aluminium frames. They work by having an edge that is locked over the frame edge to secure the window. The window handle can also be lockable so that it only opens when pushed. This adds additional security. The handle is available in 5 different finishes with both left hand and right hand versions that allow the designer to accommodate a greater variety of windows.

The cockspur window handle is supplied with three packing pieces that are of different thicknesses. This allows them to be adjusted to a variety of sizes for backsets. Each packer fits neatly beneath the handle's nose and can be removed or incorporated into the size of the step to create a different backset which ranges from 9mm up to 21mm. The handle is also available in left and right handed versions and either a straight or curly nose option.

When looking for a replacement for your current cockspur handles, it's important to measure the current handle height in order to make sure that the new handle will be suitable for the space. Having the incorrect handle can cause a variety of issues such as the inability to shut the window. This can be a nuisance for homeowners and can lead to unnecessary stress.

A cockspur handle is used on older uPVC wood, aluminium and timber windows. The handles do not come with any integrated window locks in contrast to the Espag handles that are used on modern windows. They also come with a shootbolt or Espagnolette bar lock.

The handle that is a espagnolette (often abbreviated as 'espag" or 'espag") is the most commonly used handle found on new uPVC Casement Windows. The Yale Encloser locking mechanism is activated when you turn the espagnolette handles. This is much safer than a traditional cockspur handle or British standard handle. This is because the handle turns multiple locks to secure the window frame.

Turn and Tilt Handle

These windows are popular among people who want to improve the amount of airflow inside their home as well as add a layer of security. Like their name suggests, these windows have a tilt and turn function that allows them to tilt at 90 degrees to provide the appearance of a small opening or drop to a hopper style for complete ventilation. This dual function also gives them a unique appearance which can add a real wow factor to your double-glazed window.

Tilt and turn windows are more complex compared to other types of double-glazed windows, which can increase their cost as they require more components and additional labour during installation. These windows are a worthwhile investment because they add value and provide numerous advantages to your home.

The major benefit of these ladders is that they allow you to clean your windows without the need for external ladders. This is ideal for those who live in high-rise flats or in buildings, as it eliminates the need to risk falling down from the height. Tilt and turn windows offer additional security because windows are locked when in a tilted or turned position and in this way, ensuring that any intruders are unable to open them from inside.

These handles are usually found on European style windows in Germany and other European countries however, they can also be found in UK homes. The uPVC handle replacement is usually a spindle-based one. It has 7mm spindles that are available in sizes of 38mm, 44mm and 32mm. The base of this handle is wider than other handles, which is why it's called a "tilt-safe" window handle. It is only opened after the window is locked into a closed position or tilted.

If you want to replace a uPVC tilt and turn window handle it is necessary to take the handle off the window by using an screwdriver. The screws are typically hidden behind a backplate with a spring loaded. Simply lift the backplate, then twist it to reveal two screw holes. You can measure the distance between the two screw holes with an instrument such as a ruler or tape measurement device. This is typically 43mm from centre to center. Once you've determined the measurement, you can choose the correct size handle to fit your uPVC windows.
