Cockspur handles can be found on older uPVC or aluminum windows. The handle is closed and then turns into a wedge-shaped plastic catch. (Not to be confused with timber latches, which are also covered in this section.) The handles are available in lockable and nonlockable models. They are available in a variety of nose sizes that can be adapted to the existing frame.

The handle is secured by small triangle-shaped spur (spur) which is fixed to the frame. These are usually one-way handles, but the deadlock that locks can be added to give additional security.

The replacement cockspur handles are also simple to install. All you need is the correct backset and a brand new set (supplied). The backset is measured from the baseplate to the underside of the nose of the handle. In general Aluminium window frames tend to have a 9mm backset, while UPVC employs 21mm. There are many other variations though so it is important to measure the handle prior to purchasing the handle (see the video below for more details on how).

But, by turning the handle 90@ or 180@ (depending on the type of tilt and turn window) the sash can be opened upwards and the window will tilt into allowing air to circulate through the gap at the top of the frame. This is a great method to let air circulate without having to open a large windows that could be dangerous.

The sash is also able to be opened fully by turning the handle 90or 180@. This allows for full air circulation, which is particularly useful in rooms that are chilly or homes where odors from smoke or other sources can accumulate. It also makes cleaning the exterior of the glass window replacements much simpler because it can be done from inside the house - a task that often requires ladders that are a bit shaky.

This is a useful feature for older homes, where burglars are more likely to target windows that can be opened via the side hinges.

Spade

It is also important to be aware of what the spindle length is that is the distance from the base of the handle to the top of the handle.

Another important part of choosing the right handle is knowing whether your windows need a restrictor or not. These are typically found in high rise flats or commercial properties, but they're not required for homes that are mostly domestic. It is also important to consider the step height, which is the distance between the screw plate and the apex of the handle.

The word spade is derived from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada. It has been translated into a variety of languages, including German spaten and Low German spathen. In the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s in New York City the word spade was used to mock black people. Since the time spade has been 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 styles that differ by a few millimeters. The handle head can be shaped in a D or a T shape, or be without handles at all.
