Upvc Window Locks Window locks made of Upvc are crucial to ensure the security of your home and should be checked and maintained regularly. A simple adjustment may solve issues however, in the event that your uPVC window lock mechanism is becoming stiff, it may require lubrication. There are a variety of uPVC handle fittings, such as Espag, Cockspur and Spade (or blade) handles. When replacing a uPVC hand it is essential to select the right spindle. Espag Most double-glazed windows today have handles referred to as Espag (also called multi-point locking). The Espag window handle is different from standard casement handles due to the fact that it uses a series of multi-point locks within the frame when it is turned. Espag locks can be fitted to both uPVC and casement windows made of timber, but are more commonly used on uPVC. When replacing uPVC handles, it is essential to determine the spindle length of the existing handle – this can vary between 10mm and 55mm. This is the length of steel that extends from the handle's back and connects to a motor in the window. When selecting a replacement it is essential to make sure that the spindle length matches with the size of the window otherwise it will not be able to operate the window. Multi-lock espagnolette handles are operated using a variety of roller cams as well as deadbolts, claws and shoot bolts. They also come with keys that lock in the event of need. Some of the latest espag handles are compliant with PAS 24 and Secure By Design requirements. In general, a U.P.V. espag handle is a square 7mm spindle underneath the lever, which connects to a lock mechanism that is rebated into the window sash when the handle is turned.
