UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors get worn out with time and require to be replaced. It is essential to be able to match the dimensions of the handles you have previously replaced when replacing them. The top screw's location the lever, and the keyhole dimensions are the three measurements you have to determine. Use the size guide to help with this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever handle or lever is a contemporary door handle designed to suit new or replacement doors. This type of handle is available in many styles and finishes. This handle is offered by a number of 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 perfect for doors with multi-point locks that require a strong design. The handles are inline and operate from the same spindle and screw fixings, so they are easily installed on existing or new uPVC/Composite doors. The spring lever design allows the handle to be placed and angled to provide a comfortable grip and is suitable for all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200 000 cycles. This helps ensure that the quality of finish and performance over time. The sprung lever can also be cut to fit a wider range of locks. This is useful for narrower doors where the cylinder is further back from the door. A shorter lever can be used on doors with latches which can be operated with the thumb located on the inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently from lever-type handles found on most doors. These handles are operated by a single spindle or by two spindles, inline or offset. They are usually employed on UPVC double glazed doors. They are available in a variety of variations and finishes. The handles have been tested to the minimum of 200 000 cycles and are available in a variety of finishes including White Silver, Chrome, & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to rust. This gives the handle the best performance and durability for the purpose it was designed for. All UPVC levers for handles come with a spindle, screws, and can be fitted on a uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm allow for a wider handle, which is usually beneficial when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. These handle levers have springs, which eliminate the problem of door handles that sag out of the horizontal position when they are not being used. It is important to match the dimensions of the PZ for both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when choosing a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is also called the “handle centre” or “cylinder centres and is an essential aspect of matching up the appropriate handles. Once you have decided on the proper PZ size it is important to ensure that the push and lever pads are shaped to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. They are usually of a round or square shape, with an internal lever and an external push pad. The majority of UPVC lever pads we sell are sprung, meaning that they will return to their horizontal position when they are not in use, instead of hanging out and potentially sticking in the frame. This helps prevent the draughts and cold air from getting into a house. You will also find that the majority of the UPVC handle lever pad style handles are hand-operated, allowing you to install them on either side of the door. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are usually used on uPVC doors, but can also be found on other types of doors. The cylinder lock operates by a key which unlocks the cylinder case. This reveals pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock, and permit them to turn the revolving camera, opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security. The selection of a cylinder is vital. It's dependent on the type of use your doors and handles receive. Doors that are external, for instance, should be fitted with cylinders that are more secure, whereas doors inside can be secured with an ordinary cylinder. In addition, some cylinders come with additional features that increase security even more, like anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics. A euro cylinder must be properly measured to ensure that it is the correct size for your door. The cylinder must be measured from the central screw hole to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn should there be one. If you are unable to measure using the lock in a fixed position, you can take it out of it. It is essential to not have a cylinder that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks. Most modern cylinders are designed with anti-drill and bump resistance features built into their design. They are designed to decrease the chance of a attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This will help to deflect attacks and protect your door. Certain cylinders are made to withstand snapping. This is a growing method of attack on cylinders where the break line inside the lock is attacked with a special tool to break the front of the cylinder and allow the door to open. This is faster and easier to achieve than opening multipoint locks. It also leaves no evidence of a break-in which can impede the insurance claim. Spring Cassette This spring cassette sits within the base of your door handle backplate, supplying a spring-loaded solution that returns the multipoint lock handles back to their normal position after using. The handles were previously equipped with no spring, and would slide when the locking mechanism was removed. Adding this simple component is one of the best methods to correct this, and is a great way to prevent your doors made of upvc from getting stuck in either closed or open position, as they aren't always simple to close manually. These spring cassettes were designed to be used with a sprung multipoint lock. They are not compatible with handles that are not sprung and you'll need to cut a hole in the backplate to allow them to fit.
