FAQs
What is a cockspur handle?
A cockspur handle is a type of window handle that operates by pushing a spur into a keep on the window frame, creating a locking point. They are common on older casement windows.
How do I measure my window rebate?
The window rebate is the recess in the window frame where the opening part sits when closed. Measure the depth of this recess where the handle mechanism engages.
Can I use this on any type of window?
This handle is specifically designed for windows with a cockspur locking system and a rebate size between 9mm and 21mm. It is most commonly used on casement windows.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes the Mila RM Cockspur Handle, a key, fixings, 3 frame wedges, and 3 spur wedges.
Do I need special tools to install this handle?
Basic tools such as a screwdriver (likely Phillips head) are typically required. No specialized tools are generally needed for standard installation.
How do I clean the white handle?
Wipe the handle with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
What if my window rebate is larger than 21mm?
This specific handle is designed for rebates up to 21mm. If your window requires a larger size, you may need to look for a different model or consult a window hardware specialist.
Troubleshooting
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure the spurs are correctly aligned with the cockspur mechanism on the window. Check that no wedges are obstructing the movement. Verify the window rebate is within the 9mm-21mm range.
Locking mechanism does not engage.
Confirm the correct orientation of the handle and spurs. Re-check that the spur wedges are properly seated and not impeding the lock. The window frame might require minor adjustment for the lock to catch effectively.
Handle does not fit securely to the window frame.
Utilize the provided frame wedges and spur wedges to create a tighter fit. Ensure all screws are tightened appropriately, but do not overtighten. Verify the window rebate measurement is correct for this handle.
Key will not turn or lock.
Ensure the handle is in the fully closed position. Check for any debris within the lock cylinder. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism might be misaligned, requiring further inspection or professional assistance.
