There are many different types of uPVC window, and the handles are often made of a different substance than the rest of the windows. To determine the correct handle type you are using, you must understand how the mechanism works. The "spur" handle is the most popular upvc sliding door handle window type. It operates a locking system by pushing the nose across the block in a wedge shape. This kind of handle is found mostly on tilt-and turn uPVC Windows, however it is also used on casement Windows.

The second kind of uPVC window handle is known as the "blade" or "spade" type that operates similarly to the spur handle. The blade handle uses a roller to operate the bolts whereas the spur utilizes pegs to connect the lugs on the lock.

The issue with these kinds of window handles is that the internal spindle of the handle may break, which means that it won't be able to hold on the shoot bolts or roller cam. The handle could end up turning 360 degrees and not opening the window, which can be very frustrating and annoying. You can fix this using a small tool (but make sure the window is opened first). The tool should be placed between the window frame and the rubber seal, and gently push it toward the handle until you feel it hook the shoot bolt roller cam. Then, slowly pull the tool away and you'll be in a position to open the window.
