Fitting & Usage

Fitting the Universal Cockspur Window Handles

The Cockspur window handle provides 4 fixing positions, two with 35mm centres, and two with 54 centres. Use of all four fixings is recommended for maximum security.

1. Remove any existing handle, and position new handle over existing fixing holes to reuse, or to conceal them.
2. If there is a gap between the frame and the underside of the spur, then you should choose an appropriate spur wedge from those supplied. The spur wedge should be secured under the spur using the screws supplied.
3. Secure the handle to the window using appropriate screws (not supplied) for your window profile.
4. If using existing holes, then simply secure into place using screws appropriate for the window material. You may be able to reuse the screws from the original handle.
5. If making new holes, and using self-drilling screws into a PVCu or aluminium window, then you can use the handle as a jig, and screw the backplate directly onto the window. Otherwise, you will likely need to drill pilot holes.
6. If you need to pre-drill pilot holes, then mark fixing positions through the handle backplate, and set the handle aside. Once you have drilled suitable pilot holes, you can reposition and screw fix the handle.
7. With handle fitted, you can fit any screw cover caps.
8. Now the handle is fitted, test its operation. If necessary, fit a suitably sized striker plate wedge to the frame to remove any space and ensure a tight closure.

Fitting Cockspur Window Handle Striker Plates

Remove any existing striker plate to reveal two holes in the internal window frame. If the existing holes do not align with the studs or do not exist, please follow the step-by-step instructions below on installing the striker plate. If you are installing a strike plate where there are no existing holes, then follow the step-by-step instructions below.

1. Measure the step height, which is the distance between the face of your window sash and the frame. This can be done using a straight edge and ruler.
2. Depending on the step height, you may need to use a spur wedge and/or striker plate. Choose a combination that will shut the window tight and secure.
3. Align the striker plate centrally to the spur when the window is pulled closed, and mark where the striker plate will sit onto the face of the frame.
4. Drill two 5mm pilot holes parallel with the edge of the frame, with a centre-to-centre gap of 32mm. Apply a pea-sized amount of superglue into each hole, then mount the striker plate, guiding both studs into place.
