To identify the kind of handle you're using it is important to know how the mechanism operates.

This type of handle is found typically on tilt-and-turn uPVC Windows, but it can also be used on casement Windows.

The "blade" handle is also known as "spade" works in a similar manner to the spur handle. The distinction between the two is that the blade handle uses a roller cam to operate the bolts for shooting, whereas the spur handle uses a peg to engage with the lugs of the lock.

The issue with these kinds of window handles for bifold Doors is that the internal spindle of the handle can sometimes break, which means that it won't be able to hold on the shoot bolts or roller cam.

This can be fixed using a small tool (but ensure that the window is opened before). Insert the tool between window frame and rubber seal, and gently push the tool towards the handle. Now you can open the window by gently pulling the tool away.
