Cadenza handles with angled or flat blades are another design that can be used, but should not be used in place of a standard uPVC handle.

Once the new handle is installed, it's recommended to verify whether it functions properly. It is essential that the new handle for uPVC handles with spindles has the right step height. This is the distance from the handle's base to where the spindle noses into the locking mechanism inside the frame.

If you have an old crank handle, you need to ensure that the replacement handle is exactly the same as the original. This is because the handle is only able to turn left or right and can't be used to open the window in the reverse direction.

It is also important to ensure that the new handle has the correct spindle length. The spindle connects the handle to the lock in the window frame. If it's too short the handle will not reach the lock. To make sure that the length of the spindle is correct, measure it or, if possible, compare it to the original handle to make sure it's exactly the same.
