Espag
Espag handles are a multipoint lock system that is installed on casement windows, such as uPVC and wooden double glazing. They come with seven millimetre square spindles that fits into the gearbox on the uPVC window. When the handle is turned, it opens an array of locks around the perimeter of the window.

They are available in various 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. They are usually one-way handles however the deadlock cylinder with a locking mechanism can be added for extra security.
The replacement cockspur handles are also easy to put in. All you need is the correct backset and a new set (supplied). The backset is measured from the baseplate to the underside of the nose of the handle. In general Aluminium window frames typically use a 9mm backset while UPVC employs a 21mm. There are a variety of different styles, so it's crucial to measure prior to purchasing the handle.
This type of window glass replacement handle can be substituted by simply removing the existing handle and taking off the spindle, or in certain cases the whole handle assembly. The new handle can be screwed in place using the help of pozidriv screws. The pozidriv screw is available in a brass or a zinc finish, to match existing hardware. There is also an option of self-locking pozidriv screws.

Each handle comes with three packers, each with a different thickness. They are slid on the underside of the handle noses and can be combined to create backsets as small as 9-13mm or as big as 21mm. The handles are available in both left and right-handed versions as well as locks and non-lockable versions. They are also available in a variety of nose heights.
Turn and tilt

But, by turning the handle 90@ or 180@ (depending on the kind of tilt and turn window) the window sash will open inwards and the window will be tilted in order to allow air circulation through the space at the top of the frame. This is a great option to let air circulate without the need to open a large windows, which could pose a security risk if it is not secured properly when opening.
The sash is also able to be opened fully by turning the handle 90or 180@. This allows full air exchange which is especially beneficial in rooms with a lot of draft or homes where smoke and other odors can accumulate.
