Some handles made of uPVC have blades that protrude from the handle to operate a multipoint lock inside the glass.

They can be used to replace the standard uPVC handles, but not in the opposite direction.

It is a good idea to test the new handle once it is installed. For uPVC handle types with spindles, it is important to ensure that the new handle is of the proper step height. This is the distance from the handle's base to the point at which the spindle's nose reaches into the locking mechanism in the frame.

If you have a crank handle, it is essential to make sure that the replacement handle has the same handing that the original handle did. This is because the handle can only be turned left or right and can't be used to open the window in the opposite direction.

And, should it be too short it will not be capable of reaching the lock. To make sure that the length of the spindle is correct, you can measure it or, if possible, compare it to the handle that came with it to ensure it's a perfect match.
