Broken handle

A broken window handle is an issue for security, since it can allow burglars access to your home. It's therefore important to replace your handle as soon as you can to protect your home. Fortunately, this is a relatively easy task that is completed by most homeowners. To remove the handle you'll need to remove the screws that hold it in place. Installing a new handle is easy with the same screws. If you're not comfortable doing this by yourself it's best to engage an expert.

There are many different types of uPVC window and handles are sometimes made of a different material than the rest of the windows. To determine the type of handle you're using it is essential to know how the mechanism works. The "spur" handle is the most commonly used uPVC window type. It works by locking a system by pushing the nose across an elongated block. This kind of handle is most commonly found on tilt and turn uPVC windows, although it can also be found on casement windows.

The second kind of uPVC window handle is known 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 utilizes a roller cam to operate the bolts that shoot, whereas the spur utilizes a peg to engage with the lock's lugs.

The issue with these kinds of window handles is that the spindle inside the handle may break, which means it won't be able to hold on the bolts for shooting or roller cam. The handle could end up spinning around 360 degrees without opening the window, which can be very irritating and frustrating. You can fix this using a small tool (but make sure that the window is opened first). Place 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. Then, you can open the window by pulling slowly the tool away.
