Espag

Espag handles are a multipoint lock system that is fitted to casement windows such as uPVC and double glazing made of wood. The handle is fitted with a 7mm square shaft that fits into an internal gearbox that is mounted on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it will activate a series of locks around the window's perimeter. Espag handles, also known as shootbolts, offer more security than the single point lock found on older frames.

You will need to measure the spindle size from the base of your uPVC handle if you wish to purchase the correct replacement. This measurement, also known as the step height will help you choose the ideal uPVC window handle for your home.

You may have to remove any screw covers that are protecting the screws that hold the handle in place and if that's the case, use a screwdriver or pliers to break the pins holding the handle. After taking off the screws or pins that hold the spindle in place then you can remove the handle.

After you have removed the handle, you can open the locking mechanism within the frame of the windows. You can then remove the cockspur block that is located next to the handle.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are usually found on older uPVC and aluminium windows. The handle is closed and then turns into a wedge-shaped receiver catch. (Not to be confused with timber latches which are also covered in this section.) They can be locked or non-lockable. They are available in a range of different nose heights to suit the existing frame.

The handle locks by a small spur (little triangle bit) pulling against a plastic wedge that is fixed to the frame. These are usually single-way handles, but a locking deadlock is a possibility to add additional security.

Like the Espag handles, the replacement double glazing windows handles for cockspur handle are simple to install All you require is a new set of screws (supplied) and the correct backset. The backset is measured from the baseplate to the underside of the nose of the handle. As a general rule Aluminium window frames tend to use a 9mm backset while UPVC uses 21mm. There are many variations, so it's important to take measurements prior to purchasing the handle.

The spindle or, in some cases the entire handle is removed by unwinding the handle. The replacement handle is then screwed in place using a pair pozidrivs screws. The pozidriv screws are available in either a brass or zinc finish to match the existing hardware and there is also the option of a locking version that self-locks.

They feature a universal design which makes them suitable for most profiles and backsets. Each handle is equipped with three packers, each with a different thickness. These are neatly installed on the underside of handles and can be combined to create backsets as small as 9, 13mm, or as big as 21mm. They are available in right and left handed versions, and are available with lockable or nonlockable models with a range of nose heights.

Turn and tilt

The most prestigious European window style of tilt and turn has been in use in Europe for a long time, however it's only just beginning to catch on in the American market. They combine the advantages of three window types into one - tilt, pivot and in-swing. This makes them perfect for older homes as they are able to offer more ventilation than traditional window types.

When in the closed position tilt and turn windows close like the normal fixed window replacement. By turning the handle either 90° or 180°, based on the type of tilt-and turn window the sash opens inwards, and the window will turn inwards to allow for air exchange. This is a great method for ventilation without the need to open a large windows, which could pose a security risk if it is not secured properly when opening.

If the handle is turned 90@ or 180@ the sash will be fully opened as a door. This allows for full air exchange, which is particularly useful in draughty rooms or houses where odors from smoke or other sources are likely to accumulate. This makes it easier to clean the outside of the glass by doing it from inside your home. This is a job that often requires a lot of risk.

The word spade is derived from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada. It has been translated into many languages, including German spaten and Low German spathen.

The word has since risen to prominence in pop culture and is a widely recognized symbol of African American heritage and pride.
