The ideal solution is to replace the cockspur wedge block with a new one when changing your uPVC handle to ensure that it is properly secured.

Cockspur

Cockspur handles are commonly found on older upvc replacement window handles or aluminium windows. The handle is closed and then turns into a wedge-shaped plastic catch.

They come in a range of different nose heights to fit the existing frame.

The handle is locked by the small triangle-shaped spur (spur) that is attached to the frame. They are typically one-way handles however a locking deadlock cylinder can be fitted for additional security.

As with Espag handles, replacement handles for cockspur handles are easy to install All you require is new screws (supplied) and the proper backset. The backset is measured from the baseplate to the underside of the nose of the handle. Aluminium window frames are typically 9mm wide, whereas UPVC is 21mm wide. There are a myriad of variations however, so it is crucial to measure the handle prior to purchasing the handle (see video below for how).

The spindle or, in some cases the entire handle assembly can be removed by unscrewing the handle. The replacement handle is then installed by using a pair of pozidrivs screws.

They feature an universal design that makes them suitable for all profiles and backsets. Each handle is equipped with three packers, each with different thicknesses. These are neatly installed on the underside of handles and can be used together to achieve backsets as small as 9-13mm or as high as 21mm. These handles are available in both left and right-handed versions and are available in locks and non-lockable versions. They also come in a variety nose heights.

Tilt and turn

The top European window double glazing replacement style of tilt and turn has been in use in Europe for decades, but it's only just beginning to take off in the American market. They combine the benefits of three different window styles: tilt, in-swing, and pivot. This makes them perfect for older homes since they are able to offer more ventilation than traditional window types.

When closed tilt and turn windows close like a normal fixed window. However, by turning the handle 90@ or 180@ (depending on the kind of tilt and turn window) the sash can be opened inward and the window will tilt into allowing air to circulate through the space at the top of the frame. This is a great method to let air circulate without the need to open a large window which could pose a safety danger if not properly secured when opening.

The sash can also be fully opened by turning the handle 90° or 180°@. This allows full air exchange which is especially useful in rooms that are chilly or houses where smoke or other odors can accumulate. It also makes cleaning the exterior of the glass much more easy because it can be done inside the home - a job that usually requires ladders that are a bit shaky.

Tilt and turn windows are extremely secure. When locked in a closed position they are difficult to open from the outside, and they come with double seals to prevent rainwater from entering the house when in the tilted in-swing position. This feature is particularly useful for older homes, where burglars tend to target traditional windows which can be opened using side hinges.

Spade

Some handles, for example, are angled while others are straight, and can be turned left or right. It is also important to know what the spindle length is that is the distance from the base of the handle to the head of the handle.

Another crucial aspect of selecting the correct handle is knowing whether your windows need a restrictor or not. They are typically used in high rise flats or commercial properties, but they're not a requirement for most domestic homes. Lastly, you should also consider step height which is the distance from the top of the screw plate to the top of the handle.

In the 1920s during the Harlem Renaissance in New York City spade started to be used as a derogatory term for black people. Since the time, the word has become a symbol of African American pride and heritage.

It is crucial to select the right size when replacing a Cadenza-style handle. Handles are available in straight and angled versions that differ by a few millimeters. The handle head is available in a variety of designs such as a T or D shape. It can also be left unhandled.
