There are various kinds of uPVC windows, and the handles on these are usually made of different materials than the rest of the double glazing window handles. To identify the type of handle you're using it is essential to know how the mechanism functions. The "spur" handle is the most common uPVC window type. It functions as a locking system by pushing the nose across a wedge-shaped block. This kind of handle can be found mostly on tilt-and turn uPVC Windows, however it is also used on casement Windows.

The "blade" handle is also known as "spade", operates in a similar way to the spur handle. The blade handle utilizes rollers to operate the bolts, while the spur uses pegs to engage the lugs of the lock.

This kind of window handle has an issue in that the spindle could break and not have a hold on the roller cam or shoot bolts.

Place the tool between the window frame and rubber seal, and gently push the tool towards the handle. Then take the tool slowly away and you'll be in a position to open the window.
