Window Locks

Common Window Lock Types
Basta Timber casement handle – A casement handle will be used on wooden windows and lock the window straight away when it is closed, and the handle is in the locked position. These types of handles lock the window independently and do not need an internal mechanism.
Cockspurs handles – Cockspur handles can be used on wooden or UPVC windows. They are recognisable by the ‘spur’ from the main handle, and the window locks when the handle is stopped by a wedge. UPVC windows should lock with the use of a window mechanism in conjunction with a handle. We would not recommend using a cockspur handle as the only method of locking a UPVC window.
