Broken handle

A broken window handle can be an issue for security, since it can give burglars access to your home. It's therefore important to replace the handle as soon as you can to safeguard your home. Fortunately it's a easy task that is done by the majority of homeowners. To remove the old handle you will need to unscrew the screws holding it in place.

There are various kinds of uPVC windows, and the handles on these are often made of a different material than the rest of the window. To be able to identify the type of handle you're using, it's necessary to understand how the mechanism functions. The "spur" handle is the most commonly used uPVC window type. It operates a locking system by pushing the nose across an elongated block. This kind of handle is found most commonly on tilt-and-turn uPVC Windows, but it can also be used on casement Windows.

The "blade" handle is also known as "spade" is operated similarly to the spur handle. The distinction between the two is that the blade handle uses a roller cam to operate the bolts that shoot, whereas the spur uses a peg that is used to connect with the lock's lugs.

The issue with these types of window handles is that the internal spindle of the handle can sometimes break, which means that it will not have a connection on the bolts for shooting or roller cam. The handle could end up turning 360 degrees and not opening the window and this can be irritating and frustrating. This can be fixed using a small tool (but ensure that the window is first opened). Insert 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 for the shoot bolt. Then, you can open the window by pulling slowly the tool away.
