There are a variety of types of uPVC windows and the handles and hinges are often made of a different material than the rest of the window. To determine the correct handle you have it is important to understand how the mechanism functions. The most popular kind of uPVC window handle is the "spur" type that operates a locking mechanism by pushing the nose of the handle across the wedge block. This kind of handle is most commonly used on tilt and turn uPVC windows, although it is also used on casement windows.

The second kind of uPVC window handle is referred to as the "blade" or "spade" type and has a similar mechanism to the spur handle. The blade handle utilizes an operating roller to move the bolts, while the spur utilizes pegs to engage the lugs of the lock.

The issue with these kinds of window handles is that the internal spindle of the handle could break, which means it won't be able to hold on the bolts for shooting or roller cam. This could cause the handle to rotate around in a circle without opening the window. It can be frustrating and irritating. To fix this it is possible to employ a small device to move the shoot bolts (although ensure that the window is unlocked first). Place the tool between the window frame and rubber seal, and gently push the tool towards the handle. You can now open the window by pulling slowly the tool away.
