There are many different types of uPVC window and double glazing handles are sometimes made of a different material than the rest of the windows. In order to correctly identify the type of handle you're using it is essential to know how the mechanism operates. The "spur" handle is the most common uPVC window type. It operates a locking system by pushing the nose across an elongated block. This type of handle can be found typically on tilt-and-turn uPVC Windows, but it is also used on casement Windows.
The "blade" handle is also referred to as "spade" works similarly similar to the spur handle. The difference between these two types is that the blade handle employs a roller cam to operate the bolts for shooting, whereas the spur utilizes a peg that is used to connect with the euro lock handles's lugs.
This type of window handle has a problem in that the spindle may break and not have a grip on the shoot bolts or the roller cam. This could result in the handle spinning around 360 degrees without opening the window and this can be frustrating and annoying. To remedy this, you can employ a small device to move the shoot bolts (although make sure the window is opened first). The tool should be placed between the window frame and rubber seal, then gently push the tool towards the handle. Then take the tool slowly away and you'll be able to open the window.
