In modern uPVC and uPVC\/aluminium windows<\/a>, the locking system<\/strong> is integrated into the hardware and is activated by turning the handle<\/strong>. When the handle is lowered, the locking points <\/strong>distributed along the sash engage with the strikes on the frame<\/strong>, ensuring closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With one simple movement, the window can <\/strong>open in turn position or tilt for a vasistas opening<\/strong><\/a>. DQG window handles also include a dedicated micro-ventilation position<\/strong>, allowing the sash to open by a few millimetres to guarantee a continuous air flow<\/strong> (without compromising insulation or security).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Window handles<\/strong> can be divided by type or function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond functionality, window handles are also part of the home\u2019s design.<\/strong> They are available in many colors (silver, gold, white, black) and finishes (glossy, matte, satin) to complement any architectural style and match both classic and modern houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The security of a window or door frame<\/strong> does not depend solely on the glass or the profile: the handle itself can make the difference <\/strong>between a window that is easy to force and one that offers true burglar-proof security<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditional handles<\/strong> provide basic mechanical closure, but in certain situations (ground floors, isolated homes or public buildings) more protection is needed. This is where locking window handles come into play<\/strong>, designed to prevent forced opening from the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handles for windows and bottom-hinged windows<\/p>\n\n\n\n In uPVC and uPVC\/aluminium windows<\/strong><\/a>, the standard window handle (martellina)<\/strong> is the most common solution: with a single movement it allows the sash to open, tilt or close hermetically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DQG windows<\/strong>, in particular, are equipped with a micro-ventilation system<\/strong> that ensures a continuous air exchange even when the window is closed<\/strong>, without reducing window security<\/a> and helping prevent mold inside the home<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The frame material can influence the choice of handle model, <\/strong>colors and finishes<\/strong><\/a>. Modern handle sets in silver, white, gold or black, available in glossy or matte surfaces, offer many different ways to match the window or door with the style of the room<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lever handles for French doors and balcony doors<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although often considered similar, French doors and balcony doors<\/strong><\/a> serve different purposes<\/strong>, and the choice of the most appropriate handle should reflect that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handlesets for sliding doors and windows<\/p>\n\n\n\n In sliding window and door systems<\/a>, the handle must combine ergonomics, strength and mechanical precision<\/strong>. Unlike a casement window, the opening movement runs along horizontal tracks and requires a grip that makes operation smooth<\/strong> without compromising sealing performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pull handles for entrance doors<\/p>\n\n\n\n The handle on an <\/strong>entrance door<\/strong><\/a> is the first point of contact with the home, and also its first line of security. Here the key requirements are durability, strength and protection of the locking system<\/strong>, combined with a design that reflects the character of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stainless-steel pull handles<\/strong> are the most common choice: robust, elegant and resistant to weathering, and available in different shapes such as rectangular, tubular, inclined or arched<\/strong>. For more traditional settings, brass<\/strong> remains a timeless material: warm, refined and capable of adding a touch of elegance to the entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For maximum security, there are pull handles equipped with a security escutcheon (or defender plate)<\/strong>, which protects the cylinder against drilling or extraction attempts. More advanced options include handlesets with fingerprint scanners<\/strong>, which recognise the user and unlock the door electronically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, handsfree handles<\/strong> allow automatic opening via remote control or proximity sensors: an ideal solution for smart buildings or high-traffic entrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 1967, <\/strong>DQG<\/strong><\/a> has been designing and producing <\/strong>Made in Italy windows and doors<\/strong><\/a> that combine innovation, attention to detail and fully customised design. Every casement or sliding window, French door or entrance door is created to deliver comfort, security and long-lasting performance thanks to our advanced <\/strong>uPVC and uPVC\/aluminium frames<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The same approach is reflected in DQG\u2019s range of window and door handles<\/strong><\/a>, which completes the product offering with refined functionality and coordinated finishes: from tilt-and-turn window handles <\/strong>to pass-through lever handles <\/strong>for French doors, all the way to pull handlesets and knobs <\/strong>for sliding systems and entrance doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each model is designed to guarantee ergonomic operation and aesthetic consistency. Push-and-turn handles, RC3-certified keyed versions and reinforced defenders<\/strong> ensure top-level protection, while handles with biometric scanners or touchless technologies <\/strong>raise security even further, integrating seamlessly with modern smart-home systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Explore DQG\u2019s complete range of windows, doors and accessories,<\/strong> fully customisable in finishes, materials and functions, in order to create safer and more efficient living spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.diquigiovanni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/maniglie-finestre-vasistas-1024x418.jpg\")
