To determine the correct handle type you have, you must understand how the mechanism functions. The most popular type of uPVC window handle is the "spur" type, which operates a locking mechanism by pushing the handle's nose across a wedge block. This type of handle is most commonly found on tilt and turn uPVC windows, but it can also be used on casement windows.

The "blade" handle, also known as "spade" works similarly to the spur handle. The distinction between the two is that the blade handle employs the roller cam to operate the bolts for shooting, whereas the spur utilizes an edging device to connect to the lugs of the lock.

This kind of window handle comes with an issue in that the spindle may break and not have a hold on the shoot bolts or roller cams. This can cause the handle to spin around in a circle without opening the window. It can be a hassle and annoying. You can fix this using a small tool (but make sure the window is opened before). Place the tool between the window frame and the rubber seal and gently push it towards the handle until you feel it hook the roller cam of the shoot bolt. You can now open the changing window handles by slowly pulling the tool away.
