UPVC Replacement Door Handles As time passes the handles on your doors will wear out and require replacement. When replacing them, it is essential that the new handles conform to the exact dimensions of the handle that was previously used. The three measurements you need to examine are the top screw's location as well as the key hole and lever sizes. Use the size guide to assistance in this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever handle is a contemporary door handle designed to work with new or replacement doors. This style of door handle is available in a wide range of styles & finishes. This handle is available from a number of manufacturers including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale. Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The door handles made of uPVC/Composite are made of sturdy materials and are ideal for multi point lock doors that require a strong design. The handles are inline and operate with the same spindle as well as screw fixings, so they can be easily fitted to doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old. The sprung lever design allows the handle to be set and angled for comfortable operation and is suitable for all users. The handle has been tested to 200,000 cycles. This will ensure the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever is also adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is particularly beneficial in doors with smaller door frames in which the cylinder is further back. A shortened lever is also an excellent option for doors that have latches that can be operated by a thumb turn located on the inside. Lever Pad The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles that are commonly found on doors. These handle types are either operated by a single spindle or by two spindles, inline or offset. They are typically used on UPVC double-glazed doors and come in many variations & finishes. The handles are available in a variety of finishes, including White chrome and Gold.

The backplate fixing centres of 211mm allow for a larger size handle that can be beneficial when replacing a damaged or worn multi point door lock mechanism. The handle levers come with a spring, which solves the issue of handles for doors that slide out of horizontal position when not being used. It is important to match up the dimensions of the PZ for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when choosing the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement can also be called 'handle centres or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the right handles. Once you have the correct PZ size you will then be required to make sure that the lever pads and push pads are of a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved handles you require for your doors. They typically have of a round or square shape, with an internal lever as well as an external push pad. The majority of the UPVC Lever Pads we offer are spring-loaded. This means that they will return to a horizontal position when not in use instead of hanging, and possibly sticking in the frame. This helps prevent the draughts and cold air from entering a property. The majority of UPVC lever pad handles come in both left and right handed versions which allows them to be placed on either side of the doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are typically used on uPVC doors, but they can also be used on other types of door. They work by using a key that unlock a cylinder case which will reveal pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock body, allowing them to turn the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins with external and internal doors usually having different levels of security. The selection of a cylinder is crucial. It depends on the use that your doors and handles receive. External doors, for instance, should be fitted with cylinders that are more secure while internal doors can be secured using the standard cylinder. In addition, some cylinders are available with extra features that can improve security even more, like anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics. To ensure that the euro cylinder is the right size for your door, it must be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the screw hole at the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, if there is one. If you cannot measure using the lock in its position, you can take it out of it. A cylinder that extends beyond the handle and escutcheon could be susceptible to attacks like snapping locks, so it is essential that it's not too long. window handles of the latest cylinders has anti-drilling and bump resistance features. These features are designed to minimize the chance of a attack by forcing the cylinder rotate in the opposite direction. This can help to deflect attacks and protect your door. Certain cylinders are made to withstand snapping. This is an increasingly common method of attack on cylinders where the break line in the lock is smashed using a special tool to snap off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to be opened. This is a quicker and easier way to gain access than through a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the burglary which could delay insurance claims.

It is a spring-loaded solution to help return your multipoint lock handles to their original position after use. Previously a lot of handles of this kind didn't have a spring built into them, and without it they tend to droop or drop once the locking mechanism is removed.
