There are a variety of types of uPVC windows and the handles on these are sometimes made from a different material than the rest of the window. To identify the kind of handle you're using it is important to know how the mechanism functions. The "spur" handle is the most commonly used uPVC window type. It functions as a locking system by pushing the nose across a wedge-shaped block. This kind of handle is found typically on tilt-and-turn uPVC Windows, but it can also be used on casement Windows.

The "blade" handle is also known as "spade" is operated in a similar way as the spur handle for double glazed window. The blade handle uses rollers to operate the bolts while the spur uses pegs to connect the lugs of the lock.

This type of window handle comes with an issue in that the spindle could break and not be able to hold on the roller cam or shoot bolts. This can cause the handle turn around without opening the window. It can be a hassle and annoying. To fix this it is possible to make use of a small tool to move the shoot bolts (although ensure that the window is opened first). Insert the tool between the window frame and the rubber seal and then gently push it towards the handle until you feel it touch the roller cam of the shoot bolt. Then take the tool slowly away, and you'll be able to open the window.
