upvc and aluminum single point locking handle for windows

Single-point locking handles are a modern security feature that perfectly blends utility, security, and beauty for residential and commercial buildings. If you want to add more security to your windows, these handles offered by McCoy Hardware are perfect for UPVC and aluminum window systems.


What exactly is a single-point locking handle?


A single-point locking handle is a security feature that is such a simple design that it can securely hold a window in place with a single bolt or catch. With very little movement from the user, the locking mechanism can be activated, and the window can be secured. In contrast to multi-point locking systems, where multiple bolts are engaged, the single-point locking system is more affordable and easier to maintain.


Single-point locking handles crafted by McCoy Hardware aim to maximize performance whilst ensuring ease of use, durability, steadfast security, and user-friendliness.


Why Other Locking Handles Should Be Considered from McCoy Hardware:


  • Simplicity: Locking this handle can be done without straining the user.

  • Affordability: Availability of funds is not a problem because of the ease the design offers during installation.

  • Minimal Maintenance: Handles are easy to care for as they have low maintenance due to wear and tear from fewer moving components.

  • Enduring Quality: McCoy Hardware is reputable for the dependability and durability of its window locking systems.


Single Point Locking Handles for UPVC Windows


UPVC windows are popular because they are energy efficient, durable, and require little upkeep. McCoy Hardware's single point locking handles increase these benefits by adding additional security features.




For UPVC Casement Windows


Single-point locking handles for UPVC casement windows are mounted on the sash and operated by locking a single cam or bolt into the frame.


Key Benefits:

  • Weather Resistance: Designed to withstand different weather elements such as rain and snow.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Will not rust or corrode. McCoy Hardware UPVC handles are reliable, long-lasting, and do not corrode.

  • Color Options: Choice of handles and window frame colors enabled for blendable.


For UPVC Sliding Windows


Single-point locking handles for UPVC sliding windows are placed in the middle of the sliding sash and locked at the center.

Key Features:

  • Slim Profile: No obstruction for smooth sliding.

  • Ergonomic Grip: Easy to use for all age groups.

  • Child Lock Options: Increased protection against unintentional opening.


Single-Point Locking Handles for Aluminum Windows


McCoy Hardware's single point locking handles add security to stylish aluminum frames, which are contemporary in profile and height, while aluminum renders them robust.


For Aluminum Casement Windows


The handles are made of tough alloys and are integrated into the aluminum casement windows.

Key Features:

  • Noise with No Movement: A noiseless locking action is independent and smooth.

  • No Seam Aesthetics: The looks of the handles truly do enhance minimalistic architecture.


For Aluminum Sliding Windows


The handle maintains the elegant contour of the aluminum frames while the lock is directly incorporated into it for a comfortable grip.

Key Benefits:

  • Low Profile Design: Non-obtrusive design contour.

  • Enhanced Grip: Assists in holding heavy sliding windows.


Security Concerns:

Though single point handles can be easy to use and secure, the closing system bears certain security risks.

Single Point of Contact:

  • Fewer points of resistance against unwanted access compared to multi-point systems.

  • It depends on the strength of the single piece of the locking mechanism.


To Make Security Stronger:

  • Lockable Keys: Extra protection using keyed handles can be provided, but can only be unlocked with the removable metal piece. Those handles are secure.

  • Various locks can also be installed to strengthen the lock.

  • Security Glazing: Employs toughened or laminated glass to increase strength.

  • Window Restrictors: Make it impossible to open a window past a designated point.


Regular servicing and properly fitting McCoy Hardware single-point locking handles, like any other device, will maximize their ease of use, security, and efficiency.


Cleaning and Upkeep

In relation to single-point locking handles, McCoy Hardware recommends the following for optimal maintenance:

  • Once per year, apply water-resistant silicone to any moving part.

  • Ensure that all fasteners are tightened regularly to facilitate the movement of the handle.

  • The surface of the handle should only be cleaned using suitable non-abrasive disinfectants.


Choosing the Single Point Locking Handle


Single point locking handles should be selected based on certain pre-defined criteria, which include but are not limited to:

  • Material Compatibility: Ensure the handle complements your window frame (plastic handles for UPVC and metal handles for aluminum). McCoy Hardware provides quality materials for both plastics and metals.

  • Building Style: The Design of the handle should conform to the architectural style of the building. Brushed chrome, brushed nickel, and black are excellent modern options.

  • Design shall support functionality: The type of lock, amount of gripping area, ease of use, restriction from movement of children, level of force required to work the handle, and manipulation by any user.

  • Operability: For those with limited dexterity, look for handles that require less effort for activation and movement.
