UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors get worn out over time and need to be replaced. When replacing them, it is crucial that the new handles match the dimensions of the previous handle. The three measurements to check are the top screw position as well as the key hole and lever dimensions. Use the size guide to aid you. Inline Lever/Lever A lever/lever door handle is a contemporary handle that can be used on doors that are new or replacement. This kind door handle is offered in a wide range of designs and finishes. This handle is available from several manufacturers, including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale. Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The handles made of uPVC/Composite are made of tough materials and are perfect for multi-point lock doors that need a heavy-duty design. The handles are inline and run with the same spindle as well as screw fixings, so they are easily installed on doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old. The handle can be placed and angled to accommodate the needs of all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200 000 cycles. This ensures that the finish is of high quality and performance will last for a long time. The sprung lever is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is particularly useful for narrower doors where the cylinder is further away from the door. A lever that is shorter can be used on doors that have a latch that can be opened by the thumb inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc functions differently to the lever type handles on doors. These handle types are either operated by one spindle or two spindles, inline or offset. They are typically employed on UPVC double glazed doors. They come in a variety of styles and styles. The handles have been tested to a minimum of 200,000 cycles and are available in several finishes including White Silver, Chrome, & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and resistant to corrosion. This provides the handle with a high performance and long-lasting durability for the purpose it was designed for. All of the UPVC lever pad styles for handles come with screws and a spindle, allowing them to be installed on any new or existing uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm allow for a bigger handle, which is often a benefit when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers come with a spring, which solves the issue of handles for doors that slide out of their horizontal position when not in use. When selecting the replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is important to match the PZ dimensions of the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement may also be called 'handle centres or cylinder centres'. It is important for matching the correct handles. When you have the right PZ size you will then be required to make sure that the lever pads and push pads are a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compatible handles you need for your doors. They are typically square or round with an internal lever, and an external push pad. Most of the UPVC lever pads that we sell are sprung, meaning that they return to their horizontal position after not being used, instead of hanging out and possibly securing in the frame. This stops draughts from entering the property. Also, the majority of the UPVC lever pad handles are swivel, allowing you to install them on either side of the door. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are typically found on uPVC doors, but can also be used on other types of door. They operate by using a key that unlock a cylinder case that 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 choice of cylinder you choose is crucial. It's dependent on the use that your doors and handles will receive. External doors, for instance should be equipped with cylinders with greater security and internal doors can be secured with a standard cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that increase security, for instance, anti drill or anti bump properties. To ensure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it must be measured accurately. 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 recommended to do this while the lock is in place however in the event that this is not possible, you can take it off to measure. It is essential to avoid having a extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks. Most modern cylinders are constructed with bump and anti-drill features included in their design. These are designed to reduce attack chances by forcing the cylinders to rotate in a new direction. This can deflect the attack, and keep your door safe. Certain cylinders are constructed to withstand snapping. This is a more frequent kind of attack on cylinders where the break line in the lock is targeted with a special tool to snap off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to be opened. This is a quicker and more convenient method of gaining access than using a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the burglary which can make it difficult to prove insurance claims. Spring Cassette The spring cassette is situated inside the base plate of your door handle. It offers a spring-loaded solution to bring the multipoint lock handles to their resting position after use. In the past, a lot of these types of handle did not have a spring built into them and without this they can droop or 'drop' once the locking mechanism is disengaged. This simple component is the best solution to solve this issue. It also helps prevent your upvc door from becoming stuck in the closed or open position as they aren't easy to close manually. These spring cassettes were created to be used with sprung multipoint lock. They will not fit handles that are not sprung and you'll need to cut a hole in the backplate to allow them to fit. (Please see the image for a detailed diagram). These cassettes are a solution to damaged or missing cassettes in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are sold as a single unit. They have a square-cut out that can accommodate an 8mm shaft. upvc door handle are a great value for money way to fix the problem of your door handles that are sagging.
