The most common type of uPVC window handle is the "spur" type that operates a locking mechanism by pushing the handle's nose across a wedge block. This type of handle is found mostly on tilt-and turn uPVC Windows, but it is also used on casement Windows.

The second kind of uPVC window handle is referred to as the "blade" or "spade" type that operates similar to the spur handle. The blade handle utilizes rollers to operate the bolts, while the spur utilizes pegs that engage the lugs of the lock.

The issue with these kinds of window handles is that the spindle within the handle may break, which means that it won't be able to hold on the shoot bolts or roller cam.
