Double-glazed windows are a popular feature. Over time, they may get worn out or rusted.

To replace a UPVC window handle, you have to know the spindle length of the handle you have currently and also the fixings. The best way to do this is to look at the base of your previous handle.

Handle

Over time uPVC bifold door handles and window locks can be damaged by wear and tear, or accidental or deliberate damage. It could be that the lock or handle becomes difficult to close or open or not locked at all. If this occurs, it might be tempting to replace the entire window unit, but this isn't always the case. It is often the scenario that a replacement handle or lock will suffice.

The most commonly used type of uPVC window handle is the espagnolette style. The handle has a spindle that is affixed to the handle and is inserted into a gearbox which operates the multipoint locking mechanism in the window. We carry a wide selection of locks and handles for all types of uPVC window to ensure they function properly.

When replacing the upvc windows handles window handle, it's recommended to use screw cover caps in order to ensure the screws are secure and shield them from corrosion. It is also possible to use a washer or spacer to ensure a better seal. A screw cap can stop debris and water from getting into the handle, causing damage.

After removing the handle from the window, it's a good idea for you to clean both the spindle and the threaded part of the bolt. This will make sure that the new handle fits and works properly, and it can also help prevent any dirt from getting into the multipoint lock.

The next step is to put in the uPVC handle. Be sure to go through the directions that come with your new handle and take a look at the handle you had previously to get a better understanding of how it's done. The process is usually very simple. If you encounter any issues that aren't addressed in this guide, we recommend contacting our team to get more details.

It is important to note that in the event that you are replacing the uPVC handle called a cockspur (also called Espag handle) You will require the step height of your window to determine the correct size handle. The steps height refers to the distance from the frame or base of the window to the point at which the cockspur's cockspur's apex of the handle rests when it is put in place.

Hinges

The hinges may not be in line with the window frame if your windows start to close and open with a visible gap. It's usually a simple fix that can be solved with a set of replacement hinges. We can offer a variety of different options, and can even modify the dimensions of the hinges to meet your requirements.

We can supply different types of hinges for upvc and timber windows. They are available in a variety of colours to fit with your existing window frames and come with all fixings required to install. We can supply repair screw packs for double-glazed windows that have older hinges. This will allow you to cut the old thread back into the frame.

We offer a wide range of hinge types. These include traditional casement hinges, that can be used in conjunction with an incline and turn handle or a standard handle, as well as fire escape egress hinges that are made for larger side hung windows. These are designed to be opened fully in an emergency and have an easy-clean position that makes it easy to clean. We also have restricted egress hinges that are designed to limit the opening angle of the window to 100mm maximum, ideal for family homes with children.

The sound of a hinge squeaking can be a sign that the hinges are worn out, which is typically caused by the rubbing of metal against. A small amount of lubricant might help, but when the noise continues to recur, it is likely that the hinges will require replacement.

Window plumbs help avoid unnecessary binding, this means that the operating sash of the window is in line with the frame, ensuring that it can be closed and opened correctly. If a window is not plumb could begin to open and close without difficulty, or it could become warped over time causing problems for the seal and appearance of the window.

You can buy replacement hinges for windows made of upvc in imperial or metric measurements. The metric sizes tend to be more precise, but this isn't noticeable when they are installed. The first corner fixing holes on the track and arm are a standard size but the others could differ in length based on the hardware that was originally used. You should measure the spacing of holes on your existing frame to ensure that the hinges made from upvc sliding door handle you purchase are the correct size.

Crank

The normal wear and tear that happens over time can cause damage to the window handle, lock or crank mechanism. This could affect the ease of opening and closing your windows as well as compromising their security. If you notice that your window is difficult to open or close, or you hear a click when you turn the handle, it may be an indication that you have to replace the crank mechanism. If you are unable to close your window or the multipoint locks are damaged, it might be worth replacing this part as well.

A new window crank is able to be replaced with minimal effort, but it's important to ensure that you purchase the right size replacement. Ensure that the replacement has the same step height as your old one, which can be determined by measuring the distance between the crank arm guide bushing and the notch that runs along the track that runs across the bottom of the window frame. You can also determine the length of your spindle on the handle you currently have to determine the size of the replacement.

The type of window handle that you have will determine the type of crank mechanism is needed for your casement or awning windows. Espag handles have a brain spindle on the back that is fixed to the frame of the window and drives the mechanism. Cockspur handles have pegs that are held in the frame by three or four screws that are fitted in the sash and the frame.

Once you've found the correct replacement, it's easy to install. First, remove any trim mounting screws on the casement cover of your window and carefully lift it off to reveal the insides of the window operator (Photo 1). Compare the new lever to the old one and take off any trim screws that are rusted. Attach the new lever to your window frame. Replace any screws that are rusted or bent. Then, you can place the casement cover over the mechanism.Replacement-Windows-150x150.jpg
