This type of handle is used most commonly on tilt-and-turn uPVC Windows, however it can also used on casement Windows.

The second kind of uPVC window handle is known as the "blade" or "spade" type that operates a similar mechanism to the spur handle. The distinction between the two is that the blade handle utilizes an operating roller cam to control the bolts that shoot, whereas the spur handle uses an edging device to connect to the lugs on the lock.
