There are many different types of uPVC window and handles are sometimes made of a different material from the rest of the windows. To be able to determine the type of handle you have it is important to know how the mechanism works. The most commonly used kind of uPVC window handle is the "spur" type that works by locking a mechanism by pushing the nose of the handle across a wedge block. This kind of handle is used typically on tilt-and-turn uPVC Windows, however it is also used on casement Windows.

The "blade" handle is also known as "spade" is operated in a similar manner as the spur handle. Blade handles use a roller to operate the bolts while the spur handles use pegs to engage the lugs on the lock.

The issue with these types of window handles is that the spindle inside the handle may break, which means that it will not have a connection on the bolts for shooting or roller cam. The handle could end up spinning in a 360-degree circle without opening the window and this can be irritating and frustrating. To remedy this problem, you can make use of a small tool to move the shoot bolts (although make sure the window is open first). The tool should be placed between the window frame and the seal made of rubber, and then gently push it towards the handle until you feel it touch the roller cam for the shoot bolt. You can now open the window by gently pulling the tool away.
