Cockspur Window Handles
There are many different types of handles that are available for uPVC windows. The most popular are cockspur handles as well as Espagnolette handles.

Cockspur handles are available in a variety of sizes. They are measured using the "stack" height or the distance between the baseplate and the bottom of the handle nose. This is also called the "step height" and must be taken into consideration when selecting the appropriate handle for your uPVC frame or aluminium frame.
UPVC frames are more likely to have 9mm handles than Aluminium frames, but there are other alternatives. It is important to decide whether you'd prefer a left- or right-handed handle for a cockspur when selecting the right cockspur for your window. The handle is typically positioned outside the frame. If your window opens to the outside, you will require a left-handed handle. If the window is hinged to the inside, a right-hand cockspur handle should be used.
