Cockspur Window Handles

Cockspur window handles are an older type of window handle which can be found on uPVC, wood and aluminium windows.

Cockspur window handles use a spur which sticks out from the edge of the window handle and locks over the edge of the window frame. These cockspur handles are used in conjunction with cockspur wedge striker plates to create a high level of compression, securing your window and stopping draughts and cold from getting in. 

Available in various finishes and sizes, our cockspur handles (from brands like Avocet and Trojan) are perfect for both functional and aesthetic window repairs or replacements. Shop our range below or read our useful guide to find out more.
