Broken handle

A broken window handle can be a serious security risk because it can permit burglars to gain access to your home.

There are a variety of types of uPVC windows and the handles for patio doors on these are sometimes made from different materials than the rest of the window. To determine the type of handle you have, it's necessary to understand how the mechanism functions. The "spur" handle is the most common uPVC window type. It operates a locking system by pushing the nose across a wedge-shaped block. This type of handle is most commonly found on tilt and turn uPVC windows, however it can also be used on casement windows.

The "blade" handle, also known as "spade", operates similarly as the spur handle. The difference between these two types is that the blade handle utilizes a roller cam to operate the bolts for shooting, whereas the spur handle uses an edging device to connect to the lugs on the lock.

This type of window handle has a problem in that the spindle may break and not have a grip on the roller cam or shoot bolts. This can leave the handle turning 360 degrees and not opening the window and this can be irritating and frustrating. To remedy this it is possible to use a small tool to move the shoot bolts (although make sure the window is opened first). Insert the tool between window frame and rubber seal, then gently push the tool towards the handle. Then, you can open the window by pulling slowly the tool away.
