Window Handles
 
 Window handles come in a variety of styles and colours to suit your home. They have a locking mechanism hidden within the frame that allows you to open and close your double glazed windows.
 
 When replacing your handle it is important to check the spindle length. This is the length at which the nose extends out of the base plate, or how much further inside it is the lock.
 
 Espag Handles
 
 Espag handles operate multi-point locks on double-glazed windows which allows the handle to turn a set of locks around the window for greater security. Our selection of espagnolette handles includes both straight and cranked styles, with various finishes such as chrome, brass and black.

They can be locked in the closed position with a key or push button to secure the handle.
 
 The espagnolette handle is generally a 7mm squared rod that goes through the backplate of the lever, and into the lock mechanism inside the sash frame. The handle is turned to activate the lock mechanism. When choosing a new espagnolette handle it is essential to take the length of the spindle into consideration since this will determine how your window will open. The size of the spindle will be indicated by numbers on the handle backplate such as '5" or '3/4" or 2/3" and you'll be required to measure it against your current handle to ensure that it will fit.

 Cockspur Handles
 
 The cockspur handle is a very traditional window handle with an elongated spur (triangle bit) that pushes up against the wedge on the frame when the handle is closed. They are usually found on older windows made of aluminium or uPVC casement windows which do not have an internal mechanism for securing the frame, so they rely on the cockspur handle for holding them in place.

 Tilt and Turn Handles
 
 Tilt and turn windows are becoming more popular due to their utility efficiency, effectiveness and the benefits they offer. They provide multiple opening options and can be opened in different ways that aid in cleaning as well as allowing fresh air to enter the home, or providing a fire escape.
 
 These handles are like espagnolette handles but they have additional functions that make them better suited to turn and tilt windows. The lever can be set downwards when locked to shut the window, and 90 degrees to open the window like a door or upwards to open the window in normal fashion.
 
 They are equipped with a multipoint lock mechanism that is more effective than a double-glazed casement windows against forced entry. The hinges on the bottom of the outer frame have metal locking pins that are inserted to a rail of metal across the frame's inner side when the handle is in its closed position. Two more hinges on the corners of the bottom can be opened inwards to hold the inner window in the proper position. This feature is ideal for windows with larger windows and permits better air circulation.
 
 The open mode is activated when the handle is turned facing upwards and opens the window by an upward tilt that provides healthy ventilation and makes cleaning much easier than ever. The sash can be pushed inwards on either side of the windows to create a gap large enough to accommodate the ladder or stool through.

 Spade or Blade Handles
 
 It is important to select handles that complement the style and functionality. The locking and closing mechanisms of your uPVC window are equally important as their frame. This lets you use them effectively and without hassle. Also, you must make sure that the handles are of high quality and will last for a long time, instead of breaking easily or prone to damage.
 
 One of the most well-known kinds of handle is a spade or blade handle. They are commonly used on tilt-and-turn or casement style uPVC Windows. They function by utilizing the lever which operates an latch and catch or multi-point lock mechanism. The catch is usually attached to a peg stay or mortice keep that is placed within the frame of the window and provides additional security and stability.

These are ideal for uPVC doors and windows that are frequently used because they allow you to lock your door or window from the outside making it harder for burglars to gain entry by bending or adjusting the handle.
 
 While there are arguments in favor of and against the use of the lock handle We believe that it's logical as it will add an additional degree of security to your home. Even if you're not convinced that intruders will try to gain entry into your home, the fact they may have a harder to get past the handles that lock with keys will likely make them less inclined to do so.
