There are many different types of uPVC window, and the handles for upvc windows can be made of a different substance from the rest of the windows. To identify the type of handle you have it is important to know how the mechanism functions. The "spur" handle is the most commonly used uPVC window type. It operates a locking system by pushing the nose across the block in a wedge shape. This kind of handle can be found most commonly on tilt-and-turn uPVC Windows, however it can also be used on casement Windows.

The second kind of uPVC window handle is referred to as the "blade" or "spade" type that operates a similar mechanism to the spur handle. The difference between these two types is that the blade handle employs an operating roller cam to control the bolts for shooting, whereas the spur handle uses a peg to engage with the lugs on the lock.

The issue with these kinds of window handles for doors is that the spindle within the handle may break, meaning that it won't be able to hold on the bolts for shooting or roller cam. This could cause the handle to turn around without opening the window. This can be frustrating and irritating. This can be fixed using a small tool (but make sure that the window is first opened). The tool should be placed between the window frame and rubber seal, then gently push the tool towards the handle. Now you can open the window by slowly pulling the tool away.
