UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors get worn out over time and need to be replaced. In this case, it is important that the new handles are in line with the dimensions of the previous handle. The three measurements you need to examine are the top screw's position as well as the key hole and lever dimensions. Use the size guide to help you. Inline Lever/Lever A lever/lever handle is a modern door handle that is designed to fit new or replacement doors. This style of handle is available in many styles and finishes. This handle is offered by several manufacturers, including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale. Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The uPVC/Composite door handles are made of sturdy materials and are suitable for multi point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline and they utilize the same spindle and screws to secure them. They can be easily mounted on any uPVC/Composite doors. The sprung lever design allows the handle to be positioned and angled for comfortable operation and is suitable for all users. upvc replacement door handles has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles, this allows for the assurance of the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The lever that is sprung can be cut to fit more locks. This is particularly useful for narrower door frames where the cylinder is located further back. A shorter lever is an excellent option for doors where the latch can be activated by the thumb turn located on the inside. Lever Pad The lever pad upvc handle is distinct from the lever handles that are found on most doors. These handle types are either operated by one spindle, or two spindles, either inline or offset. They are usually employed on UPVC doors with double glazing. They are available in a variety of finishes and variations. The handles are available in various finishes, including White chrome and Gold. The finish is in line with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, thereby giving the handle a high degree of durability and performance for the intended use. All of the UPVC lever pad designs come with a spindle and screws, allowing them to be fitted on any new or existing uPVC door. The 211mm backplate fixation centres allow for a bigger handle, which is usually a benefit when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers come with a spring, which solves the problem of door handles that sag out of their horizontal position when not in use. When choosing the replacement UPVC handle and spindle it is essential to match the dimensions of the PZ of the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement can also be called 'handle centres or cylinder centre'. It is important for matching the correct handles. Once you have the proper PZ size, you'll be required to make sure that the handle lever pads and push pads are in a suitable shape to fit the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handles that you need for your doors. They are typically round or square with an internal lever, and an external push pad. Most of the UPVC lever pads we offer are sprung, which means that they return to their horizontal position after not in use, instead of hanging out and possibly securing in the frame. This stops draughts and cold air from entering a home. Also, the majority of the UPVC lever pad handles are swivel that allows you to put them on either side of the door. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other types of doors. Cylinder locks are operated by a key which unlocks the cylinder's case. This exposes pins that can be aligned to the pins in the lock, and permit them to rotate the camera that rotates, opening the door. Euro Cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with both internal and external doors typically needing different levels of security. The choice of cylinder is vital. It depends on the amount of use your doors and handles receive. Doors that are external, for instance, should be fitted with cylinders with greater security and internal doors can be secured using a 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 of the right size for your door, it must be measured correctly. The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to the end of the cylinder including the thumb turn if you have one. It is best to do this with the lock in place however, if this is not possible, you can take it off to measure. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon could be vulnerable to attacks such as snapping locks, so it is important that it is not too long. Most newer cylinders have been constructed with bump and anti-drill features built into their design. These features are designed to minimize the chances of an attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in an opposite direction. This will help to deflect an attack and keep your door safe. Certain cylinders are made to withstand snapping. This is a common attack on cylinders. A specially designed tool is used to break the break line of the lock, and then the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a quicker and simpler method to gain access than a multipoint locking system. It also leaves no evidence of the break-in which can make it difficult to prove insurance claims. Spring Cassette This spring cassette is located within the base plate of the door handle. It offers a spring-loaded solution to return the multipoint lock handles to their resting position after using. These handles used to have no spring, and would slide when the locking mechanism was disconnected. Adding this simple component is among the best methods to correct this, and is an excellent way to stop your doors made of upvc from getting stuck in the open or closed position, as these are not always easy to close manually. These spring cassettes were created to be used with a sprung multipoint locks. They are not compatible with unsprung handles and you'll need to cut a hole into your backplate in order for them to fit. (Please see the image for a detailed diagram). These cassettes are a replacement to broken or missing cassettes in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are fitted with an elongated square that can accommodate an 8mm spindle, and they are supplied individually. These spring cassettes are an excellent value-for-money way to fix the problem of handles on your doors sagging.
