Upvc Window Locks Window locks made of uPVC are essential to the security of your home and must be maintained and checked regularly. A simple adjustment could solve issues however if your uPVC window lock mechanism has become stiff it could need lubricating. There are a variety of different kinds of uPVC handles, including Espag (or blade), Cockspur (or cockspur) and Spade (or spade). When replacing a uPVC hand it is essential to choose the right spindle. Espag Espag (sometimes referred to as multi-point locking) window handles are found on the majority of modern double-glazed windows. In contrast to the standard casement handle fasteners, the Espag window handle can operate a series of multi-point locks within the frame once it is turned. Espag locks are able to be fitted to uPVC and timber casement windows, but are most commonly fitted to uPVC. When replacing uPVC espag handles it is crucial to verify the spindle's length of the previous handle. This can range between 10mm and 55mm. This is the length of metal that extends out from the back of the handle, and then connects into a gearbox inside the window. When you are choosing a replacement, it is essential to make sure that the spindle's length is with the size of the window otherwise it will not be able to operate the window. Multi-lock espagnolette handles can be operated with a variety of roller cams as well as deadbolts, claws and shoot bolts. They also have key locking capabilities in the event of need. Some of the latest espag handles comply with PAS 24 and Secure By Design specifications. In general, a uPVC Espag lock has seven millimeters of square spindle underneath the lever that connects to a lock system that is rebated into the window sash. There are a variety of options available to choose from when replacing the uPVC espag lock, from cranked versions that provide more hand clearance against the window to straight inline handles that appear elegant and discrete.

They are also easy to clean and there are no protruding parts like lock levers. You can clean the windows on the outside without needing to climb a ladder or risking falling off the roof. They are also simple to close and lock making them a perfect option for people looking to improve their home's security. If you are thinking of buying windows for your home, you should consider uPVC tilt-and-turn windows. RepairMyWindowsAndDoors are very popular in Europe and offer a number of advantages over traditional casement windows. They have a sleek, modern look and are easy to operate. These windows are more secure than other windows and can't be open from outside. They also have better insulation than other types of windows, which helps keep your home warm and reduces noise. They are available in many colors and finishes that will match the design of your home. While these windows can be more expensive than other windows, they're worth the investment as they'll last for years. They also can increase the value of your home and make it more attractive to potential buyers. Tilt and slide The tilting mechanism enables windows to open up to allow for ventilation, but they can also be locked in a closed position to keep kids and pets out. This type of window blends practicality with the style and design of a sliding glass door which makes it ideal for modern homes. These windows are great for people who want to enjoy their outdoor space without worrying about bugs and rain. The sliding windows can be tilted to the inside to make cleaning easier. This feature is not available in all sliders, however. Only those with a tilt-in function allow the sash to be pulled inwards to clean it. If you'd like to know whether this feature is available take a look at the handle of your sliding window and check whether there's a tiny “T”. Sliding windows that don't have this feature can only be opened by sliding horizontally from left to right or right to left. Another benefit of tilt and slide windows is their superior insulation. They are designed to stop air from entering your home. This will allow you to save money on energy bills during the summer. This will help you save money and be at ease all year round, regardless of whether you live in an extremely cold or hot climate. Unlike traditional sliders, which require effort to move between the two sides tilt and slide windows can be opened with just one hand. They are designed with rails that are located at the bottom of the frame, making them much smoother than sliding windows, and making it easier to open. They are simple to use and provide an additional protection against intruders. Double-glazed uPVC tilt and slide windows are an excellent alternative to sliding doors, particularly for those who don't have the space to install a swinging entrance. With their simple operating mechanism these windows can be opened by sliding or tilting inwards to provide efficient ventilation. They are also soundproof, and provide reliable security. These windows are available in a variety of colours to fit any home style. Tilt and lock Tilt and lock is a locking mechanism built into the handle of European uPVC windows. It allows the window to be tilted open at the top like a hopper or opened sideways by hinges, similar to a casement, allowing for airflow that is free of drafts and easy cleaning. In the tilted position, the window is child safe and offers an escape route in case of emergency. The sash can also be locked securely in this position to block burglars from gaining entry to the home. When the window is closed, the tilt and turn feature will lock your window into a tight compression seal. This seal dramatically improves your energy efficiency – air leakage around sliding windows could cause up to five times the amount of heat or cold lost to your home every hour. Our window locks use multiple points of contact for greater security. The tilt latches are encased within a sash channel. the hinges are secured with additional locking points to protect against forced entry. Our uPVC window locks are among the strongest available. If your tilt lock doesn't perform as it should, take a look at the lever for indications of tampering. It could be that the button was pushed in incorrectly or a spring inside of the lever has been loosened and, in that case, you'll have to replace the parts. If you think that the tilt lock is stuck because of a lack of lubrication then apply a little machine or rubbing alcohol to the parts. The Sensei handles come in various finishes to match the windows that they are used with.
