Handle

Over time, uPVC window handles and locks can be damaged through wear and tear, accidental or deliberate damage. This could result in the lock or handle becomes difficult to open or close, or it's not even locked at all. It's tempting to replace your entire window unit when this occurs, but it's not always required. In most cases an upgrade to the handle or lock is all that's needed.

The espagnolette style is the most popular uPVC window handle. The handle has a spindle that is affixed to the handle and slots into a gearbox that operates the multipoint locking mechanism in the window. It is crucial to match the appropriate handle and lock to your windows to ensure that they function correctly, which is why we stock a wide range of replacement external door handles and locks for all kinds of upvc door handles windows.

When replacing the uPVC window handle it is recommended to use screw cover caps in order to keep the screws secure and protect them from corrosion. Alternatively, it's possible to use a washer or spacer to create a more secure seal. A screw cap will stop debris and water from entering the handle, causing damage.

After taking the handle for patio door out of the window, it is a good idea for you to clean both the spindle and the threaded part of the bolt. This will ensure that the handle fits and functions correctly and also keep dirt out of the multipoint lock.

The next step is to install the new uPVC handle. It is important to read the instructions that came with your new handle. You can also look at your previous one to get a better understanding of how it's done. The process is usually very simple. If you do encounter any issues that aren't covered in this guide, it's best to contact our team for additional guidance.

It's also important to note that if you're replacing a uPVC cockspur handle (also called an Espag handle) you must check the step height of the window to determine the proper size of handle. The step height refers to the distance from the base or frame of the window up to where the cockspur's cockspur's apex of the handle is located when it is installed.

Hinges

The hinges may not be aligned with the frame of your window if your windows start to close and open with a visible gap. It is usually a simple fix that can be resolved by replacing the hinges. We offer a range of different options, and can even modify the size of the hinges to suit your needs.

If you have a standard wooden or upvc-framed window, we have a wide range of different kinds of window hinges. These hinges are available in various colors to match the frames of your existing windows. They are also supplied with all the fixings you need to install them. If you have a double-glazed window that has an older type of hinge, we can offer a selection of repair screw packs which allow you to re-cut the old thread form back into the frame.

We offer a wide variety of hinge styles. This includes traditional casement hinges, that can be used in conjunction with an incline and turn handle or a normal handle as well as fire escape egress sash hinges, designed for larger side hung windows. They are designed to be opened fully in an emergency and have an easy-clean position that makes it easy to clean. We also have hinges that are restricted in egress and are designed to restrict the opening angle of the window to 100mm or less perfect for families with children.

A squeaky hinge could indicate that the hinges must be replaced. It's typically due to metal friction against metal. A small amount of lubricant may help but when the noise continues to recur, it is likely that the hinges need to be replaced.

Window plumbs help avoid unnecessary binding, this means that the operating sash of the window is in line with the frame, which ensures that it opens and closes properly. If a window is not plumb, it may have difficulty closing and opening or becoming damaged over time, causing problems with the seal and appearance of the window.

When purchasing replacement upvc window hinges, be aware that they can be bought in either imperial or sizes in metric. In general the metric sizes are a little more precise, but this isn't really evident once they are installed. The first corner fixing holes on the track and arm are of a standard size, however the other holes can vary in length depending on the hardware that was originally used. We suggest that you take measurements of the spacing of holes on your existing frame before purchasing any hinges made of upvc in order to ensure they are the right 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 make it difficult to open and close your windows. It can also compromise their security. If you notice that your window is difficult to open or close, or you hear a click when turning the handle, it could be a sign that you need to replace the crank mechanism. If you're unable to secure your window, or the multipoint locks are broken, then it might be worth replacing this component too.

A new window crank is able to be replaced with minimal effort, but it's crucial to buy the right size replacement. You can determine if the replacement has the exact same height of step as the original 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. Alternately, you can measure the length of the spindle that is on your existing handle to determine the size you require to replace it with.

The type of handle you choose for your window will determine the type of crank mechanism required for your casement and awning windows. Espag handles have a mental spindle on the back that is fixed to the frame of the window and is the motor that drives the mechanism. Cockspur handles come with pegs that are fixed in place by three or even four screws that are fitted into the sash and frame.

It's simple to replace the window operator after you've found the right replacement. Remove any trim mounting screws from the casement cover and carefully lift the cover to expose the insides of the window operator (Photo 1). Compare the new operating lever to the old one and remove any rusted trim screw. Attach the new lever to the window frame. Replace any screws that are rusted or bent. Then, you can place the casement cover over the mechanism.
