Espag

Espag handles are a multipoint lock that is installed on casement windows, such as uPVC and double glazing made of wood.

When the handle is turned it will activate a series of locks around the perimeter of the window. Espag handles, also referred as shootbolts, provide more security than the single point lock found on older frames.

(Not to be confused with timber latches which are also covered in this section.) These handles can be lockable or non-lockable. They are available in a variety of nose heights that can be adjusted to the existing frame.

The handle locks by a thin spur (little triangle bit) pulling up against a wedge of plastic which is attached to the frame. They are typically one-way handles, however the deadlock cylinder with a locking mechanism can be fitted for additional security.

The replacement double glazing window cockspur handles are also easy to install. All you need is the correct backset and a brand new set (supplied). The backset is the distance between the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. Aluminium window frames are usually 9mm wide, while UPVC is 21mm wide. There are many other variations however, so it is crucial to measure before purchasing the handle (see video below for how).

The spindle, or in some instances the entire handle assembly can be removed by unscrewing the handle. The new handle will then be screwed into place with a pair of pozidriv screws.

They combine the functionality of three different window types into one - tilt, pivot and in-swing. They are great for older homes as they offer more airflow than conventional windows.

When in the closed position tilt and turn windows lock as windows that are fixed in normal fashion. However, by turning the handle 90° or 180@ (depending on the kind of tilt and turn window) the sash can be opened upwards 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 allow air circulation without having to open a large, potentially dangerous window.

The sash can be fully opened by turning the handle 90or 180@. This permits complete air circulation, which is particularly useful for rooms that are smoky or where smoke or other odors are likely to accumulate.

They are generally employed in high-rise flats or commercial buildings, but are not a requirement for homes that are primarily residential. Lastly, you should also consider step height which is the distance from the top of the screw plate to the apex of the handle.
