Choosing uPVC Replacement Window Handles Window handles are a crucial component of your uPVC windows and should match to the frame.

This will ensure you order the appropriate replacement window handle for your double-glazed window. Espag Handle Espag handles are commonly found on upvc (but they're also used in aluminium and timber). The handles have a square spindle which extends from the back of the handle and locks into the multi-point locking mechanism of the window. The handle is used to operate the locking mechanism around the window. Espag window handles are available in many different styles and functions. Some feature the option of a push button to lock them in a locked closed position and key-locking. (And fire-escape nonlocking in the event of need.) Many meet the Secure by design specification for an extra level of security.

Cockspur Handle The Cockspur Window Handle was created for those who manufacture windows and want to provide their customers with an elegant and premium design.
