Replacement Handles For Windows

Double glazed windows are a very popular feature. Over time they can get rusty or worn out.

You'll need to know the current handle's length of the spindle and its fixings in order to replace it. This can be done by looking at the base of the handle that was previously used.

Handle

Over time, uPVC window handles and locks can become damaged due to wear and tear, or even intentional damage. This can mean that the door handle replacements or lock becomes difficult to open or close, or that it's not locked in any way. It's tempting to replace the entire window unit when this occurs, but it's not always required. Most of the time, it's the case that a replacement handle or lock is sufficient.

The most popular kind of uPVC window handle is the espagnolette. The handle has a spindle that is affixed to the handle and is inserted into a gearbox that controls the multipoint locking window handle mechanism within the window. It is essential to match the right handle and lock to your windows in order to ensure they work together properly, which is why we have a wide variety of replacement external door handles for all kinds of upvc door locks and handles windows.

When replacing the uPVC window handle, it's recommended to use screw cap caps to cover the screws to secure the screws and shield them from corrosion. You can also use a washer, spacer or other sealant to create a tighter fit. A screw cap will stop debris and water from entering the handle, causing damage.

After taking the handle out of the window, it is an ideal idea to clean both the spindle as well as the threaded portion of the bolt. This will ensure that the new handle fits and works properly, and it will also help to stop dirt from entering the multipoint lock.

Next it's time to install the new uPVC handle. It is essential to follow the instructions provided with the new handle and take a look at your previous one prior to beginning in order to understand how to do it correctly. The process is usually simple. If you run into any issues not addressed in this guide, we recommend reaching out to our team for more details.

You should also note that when replacing the uPVC cockspur (also called Espag handle) you'll need the step height of your window to determine the right size handle. The step height refers to the distance from the frame or base of the window up to where the cockspur's nose handle sits when installed.

Hinges

If your windows are beginning to close and open with a visible gap, this can be caused by the hinges not being in line with the frame. This is usually a simple fix that can be resolved by installing a new set of replacement window hinges. We have a variety of options, and we can alter the size of window hinges to fit your requirements.

If you have a conventional upvc or timber window, we can provide a wide range of different kinds of hinges for your windows. The hinges are available in different colours to match the existing window frames. They also come with all the fixings required to install them. If you have a double glazed window with an older style of hinge, we can also offer a selection of repair screw packs that will permit you to cut the old thread form back into the frame.

We have a variety of hinges. This includes standard casement hinges, which can be used in conjunction with the tilt and turn handle or a standard handle as well as fire escape egress sash hinges, which are designed for larger side hung windows. These hinges are designed to fully open in a crisis and have an easy-cleaning position. We also stock restricted-egress hinges that are designed to restrict the opening angle of a window to a maximum of 100mm. This is ideal for families with children.

The sound of a hinge squeaking could be an indication that the hinges must be replaced. It is usually caused by metal friction against metal. A small drop of lubricant may help but when the noise continues to recur, it is likely that the hinges need to be replaced.

The windows that are plumb help to avoid the need for binding, this means that the operating sash of the window is line with the frame, which ensures that it opens and closes properly. A window that's not plumb may have difficulty closing and opening or becoming stretched over time, which can cause problems with the seal and appearance of the window.

When you purchase replacement windows made of upvc hinges, be aware that they can be purchased in imperial or the metric sizes. In general, the sizes in metric are more precise, but this isn't really noticeable once they are fitted. The first corner holes on the track are standard but the others may differ based on the hardware that was originally used. We suggest that you take measurements of the spacing of holes on your frame prior to purchasing any upvc hinges to be sure that they are the correct dimensions.

Crank

The normal wear and tear that happens over time can result in damage to the window handle, lock or crank mechanism. This could hinder the ease of opening and closing your windows, and also compromise their security. If your window is difficult to open or close or if you hear a clicking sound when you turn the handle, it could indicate that you need to replace the mechanism. If you're not able to lock your window or the multipoint lock is broken it might be worth looking into replacing this part of the hardware as well.

A new window crank can be replaced with little effort, but it's important to buy the right size replacement. You can tell whether the replacement has the exact same height of step as the old one by measuring the distance from the guide for the crank arm bushing to the notch on the track at the bottom of the frame. You can also measure the length of the spindle on your current handle to determine the size of the replacement.

The type of window handle you have will determine what kind of crank mechanism is required for your casement or awning windows. Espag handles have a mental spindle at the back which is connected to the frame of the window and controls the mechanism. Cockspur handles have pegs that are held in place by three or even four screws which are set in the sash and the frame.

It's easy to replace the Window Handle Upvc operator after you've found the right replacement. Remove any screws that attach to the trim from the casement cover, and gently lift the cover off to expose the insides of the window operator (Photo 1). Compare the new operating lever to the old one and take off any trim screws that are rusted. Then screw the replacement to the window frame, and replace window handles any screws that are rusted or bent, then put the casement cover over the mechanism.
