Cockspur Window Handles

A cockspur window handle is a distinctive and delightfully simple latching mechanism with an oft-overlooked design feature that boosts window security. Cockspur window handles got their name from the forward-facing “spur” that looks more like a rooster’s. This spur wedges against a catch plate when closed to secure windows through friction and leverage. It’s a simple yet reliable securing mechanism that has proven itself over decades.

Cockspur handles for windows are perfect for smaller casement windows and traditional timber windows, although you can also see them in uPVC and aluminium options. Properties that value understated functionality often have cockspur-type window handles, including heritage properties preferring period-appropriate hardware. Operating the cockspur could be simpler than rotating it to wedge the spur against the keeper plate. That’s enough to secure your windows.

Our cockspur handle collection includes options from quality manufacturers in multiple finishes and sizes. If you need something for your uPVC window, the Securistyle Virage feels right at home. Locks & Handles has replacement parts, too, like the TSS wedge and Smith/Wallis fixing plate. Regardless of whether you need cockspur handles for your windows or simply a part of it, expect us to deliver only top-quality replacement products for your cockspur window handle system.
