Window Handles

Window handles are available in many different styles and colors to fit your home. They have a locking mechanism concealed within the frame to allow you to close and open your double-glazed windows.

Espag Handles

Espag handles are used to operate multi-point locks on double glazed windows. The handle can be turned around the window to increase security. Our selection of espagnolette window handles include both straight and cranked styles with a variety of finishes, including brass, chrome, black and forged.

Each handle is made of sturdy die cast zinc that is powder coated or plated for high resistance to corrosion, impact resistance and protection against wear. They are designed to be used on uPVC and aluminium windows that have shoot bolt or espagnolette mechanisms and can be locked in the closed position using the push button or key to lock in place.

The espagnolette handle is generally a 7mm squared rod that goes through the backplate of the lever, and into the lock mechanism within the frame of the Sash lock Door handles. The handle is turned to activate the lock mechanism. When selecting an espagnolette handle that you want to replace, it is crucial to take the length of the spindle into account as this will determine how the window will be opened. The spindle size will be identified by a number on the handle's backplate such as 5", '3/4" or 2/3", and you will have to compare this with your current handle to ensure that it will fit.

Cranked espagnolette window handles are a different option 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 provides more room to open the window. This is ideal for windows that are close to the frame.

The cockspur is a variant of the espagnolette handle with a cockspur that closes by a striker plate similar to an espagnolette multi-point lock.

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

Cockspur Handles

The cockspur is a classic window handle that has the spur, or triangular bit, that pushes against the wedge on the frame as the handle is closed. They are typically found on older windows made of aluminium or uPVC casement windows which don't have an internal mechanism for securing the frame - so they depend on the cockspur handle for double glazed window to keep them together.

The lever can be placed down when locked to close the windows, 90 degrees to tilt it open like an opening window, or upwards to open the window normally.

They feature a multipoint lock mechanism that is more effective than double-glazed casement window against forced entry. The outer bottom hinge has metal locking pins that are engaged to a rail of metal along the inner frame when the handle is in a closed position. Two additional hinges at the bottom corners can also be opened inwards to keep the window in the proper position. This feature is ideal for windows with larger windows and allows for better ventilation.

The open mode is activated by turning the handle so that it is facing upwards. It opens the window at an upward tilt which provides better airflow and makes cleaning easier. This is because the sash can be pulled inwards from either side of the window to create a gap that is sufficient for an incline or ladder to fit through.

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

uPVC frames are the most commonly used for these types of windows because they are less expensive than aluminium or timber frames and don't require painting, however, there are a variety of wood effect finishes available.
