There are many different types of upvc replacement window handles window, and the handles for patio doors are sometimes made of a different substance in comparison to the other windows. In order to correctly identify the kind of handle you have, it's necessary to understand how the mechanism functions. The most commonly used kind of uPVC window handle is the "spur" type that works by locking a mechanism by pushing the handle's nose across a wedge block. This type of handle can be found most commonly on tilt-and-turn uPVC Windows, but it can also be used on casement Windows.

The second type of uPVC window handle is referred to as the "blade" or "spade" type, and it operates similar to the spur handle. The difference between these two types is that the blade handle employs an operating roller cam to control the bolts for shooting, whereas the spur uses a peg that is used to connect with the lugs of the lock.

Insert the tool between the window frame and the rubber seal and gently push it towards the handle until you feel it catch the shoot bolt roller cam. You can now open the window by gently pulling the tool away.
