Cockspur handles can be found on older uPVC or aluminium windows.

The handles are available in lockable and nonlockable versions. They are available in different nose heights that can be adapted to the existing frame.

The backset is the distance between the baseplate of the window to the underside of the handle's nose. In general Aluminium window frames tend to have a backset of 9mm, whereas UPVC employs a 21mm. There are many different styles, so it's crucial to take measurements prior to purchasing the handle.

Turn and tilt

The premium European window style with tilt and turn has been in use in Europe for decades, but it's just now beginning to gain popularity in the Americas. The windows combine the functionality of three window styles - tilt, in-swing, and pivot. This makes them perfect for older homes as they can offer more airflow than standard window styles.

When in the closed position, tilt and turn windows lock like windows that are fixed in normal fashion. But, 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 gap at the top of the frame. This is an excellent way to let air circulate without having to open a large potentially dangerous window.

If the handle is turned a further 90@ or 180@ the sash will be fully opened like a door. This allows complete air exchange, which is particularly useful in rooms that are chilly or houses where odors from smoke or other sources can build up. This makes it easier to clean the outside of the glass since you can do it from inside your home. This is a task which often requires precarious steps.

Tilt and turn windows are also very secure. They are very difficult to open when they are locked in the closed position. They also feature double seals that prevent rainwater from entering your home while in the tilted position or swing. This feature is particularly useful for older homes where burglars tend to target traditional windows that are opened with side hinges.

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

Identifying whether or not your windows require a limiter is also crucial when selecting the right handle. They are usually used in high-rise apartments or commercial structures, but are not a requirement for homes used by the homeowner. Also, think about step height, which is the distance from the top of the screw plate to the apex of the handle.

The word spade originates from Old English spadu, spaedu or spada and has been translated into many languages, including German spaten and Low German spathen. In the 1920s, during the Harlem Renaissance in New York City, spade began to be used as a sexist term for black people. Spade has since risen to prominence in pop culture and is now a well-known symbol of African American heritage and pride.

It is important to get the right size when replacing a Cadenza-style handle. The handles are available in both straight and angled versions that differ by only a few millimetres. The handle head can also vary between a D and a T shape, or be without handles at all.
