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

The handle is turned and then closes on an aluminum wedge-shaped receiver catch (not to be confused with timber window latches that are also covered in this section). The handles are available in lockable and nonlockable versions. They are available in a variety of nose sizes that can be adapted to the existing frame.

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

The replacement cockspur handles are easy to install. All you need is the correct backset as well as a new set (supplied). The backset is the distance that runs from the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. In general Aluminium window frames usually have a 9mm backset, while UPVC employs 21mm. There are a variety of other options however it is essential to take a measurement before buying the handle (see video below for how).

The spindle or, in some cases the entire handle can be removed by unscrewing the handle. The new handle will then be screwed into place with two pozidriv screws.

Each handle comes with three packers, each of a different thickness. They are slid on the underside of handle noses and can be used together to achieve backsets as small as 9mm or as big as 21mm. These handles are available in both left and right-handed versions, and in locks and non-lockable versions. They also come with a variety of nose heights.

Tilt and turn

The most prestigious European window style with tilt and turn has been in use in Europe for a long time, however it is only now starting to gain popularity in the American market. The windows combine the functionality of three different window styles: tilt, in-swing, and pivot. This makes them ideal for older homes as they can provide more airflow than standard window styles.

When tilt and turn windows are closed, they will lock as any other fixed window. By turning the handle 90@ or 180@ (depending on the type of tilt and turn window) the window sash will open inwards and the window will tilt into allowing air to circulate through the opening at the top of the frame. This is a great method for ventilation without the need to open a large windows, which could pose a safety risk if it is not secured properly when opening.

If the handle is turned a further 90@ or 180@ the sash can be fully opened like a door. This allows for full air circulation, which is particularly useful for rooms that are smoky or where smells or smoke are likely to accumulate. It also makes cleaning the exterior of the glass much more easy since it can be done from inside the house - a job that usually requires ladders that are not safe.

Tilt and turn windows are also extremely secure. When they are locked in the closed position they are difficult to open from outside, and they have double seals that stop rainwater from entering the house when in the tilted or in-swing position. This can be a particularly helpful feature for older homes, where intruders are more likely to target windows that can be opened using the side hinges.

For example, some handles are angled whilst others are straight and will turn left or right. You'll also need the spindle size which is the distance between the base of the handle and the head of the handle.

Knowing whether or not your windows need a restrictor is also essential when choosing the correct handle. These are usually used in high-rise apartments or commercial buildings, however they're not a requirement for most domestic homes. Also, take into consideration step height, which is the distance from the top of the screw plate to the top of the handle.

The word spade is derived from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada. It has been translated into many 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 denigrate black people.
