UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors wear out with time and require to be replaced. It is essential to keep the same dimensions as the handles you have previously replaced when replacing them. The three measurements to check 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 handle or lever is a contemporary door handle designed to suit new or replacement doors. This kind door handle is offered in a variety of styles & finishes. A variety of manufacturers provide this type of handle, 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 perfect for doors with multi-point locks which require a robust design. The handles are inline, and they use the same spindle and screws to secure them. They are easily fitted on a new or existing uPVC/Composite door. The spring lever design allows the handle to be positioned and angled to provide a comfortable grip and is suitable for all users. The handle has been tested to 200 000 cycles. This ensures that the quality of finish and performance will last for a long time. The sprung lever is also adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is particularly useful for narrower door frames in which the cylinder is further back. A shortened lever can also be used for doors with latches that can be activated with the thumb on the inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad upvc door handle operates differently from lever-type handles that are found on the majority of doors. The handle can use a single spindle (inline) or independently from both sides using two inline or offset spindles (pad). They are typically used on UPVC doors with double glazing and come in a variety of finishes & variations. 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 is resistant to rust. This gives the handle the best performance and durability to serve its intended use. All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles come with screws and a spindle, allowing them to be fitted on a new or existing uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is often beneficial when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. The levers for these handles have a spring, which solves the problem of handles for doors that slide out of the horizontal position when they are not being used. It is crucial to match the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when choosing a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is also called the “handle centre” or “cylinder centres' and is a critical aspect to match the appropriate handles. Once you have the correct PZ size, you'll need to ensure that the lever pads and push pads are in a suitable shape to fit the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved handles you need for your doors. These are usually round or square with an internal lever and an external push pad. The majority of UPVC Lever Pads that we offer are spring-loaded. This means they will return to a horizontal state when they are not in use, rather than hanging and possibly securing to 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 models which allows them to be placed on either side of the doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are typically used on uPVC doors, but can also be used on other types of door. The cylinder lock operates by a key which unlocks the cylinder's casing. This exposes pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock, allowing them to turn the revolving camera, opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins, with internal and external doors typically having different levels of security. The choice of the correct cylinder is essential; it depends on the way your doors and handle are used. Doors that are external, for instance, should be fitted with cylinders that are more secure and doors inside can be secured using a standard cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that can increase security, such as anti-drill or anti bump properties. To make sure 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 each end of the cylinder including the thumb turn if you have one. It is recommended to do this while the lock is in place, but if this is not possible, you may remove it to take measurements. It is important to not have a cylindrical lock that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks. The design of most newer cylinders has anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to minimize attack chances by forcing the cylinders to rotate in a new direction. This can help prevent attacks and ensure your doors are secure. There are also cylinders that have been designed to withstand snapping. This is a more frequent kind of attack on cylinders, which is where the break line of the lock is attacked by a tool that is specially designed to snap off the front of the cylinder and allow the door to be opened. This is faster and more straightforward than opening the door with multipoint locks. It also leaves no evidence of a break-in which could hinder an insurance claim. Spring Cassette This spring cassette is located within the base plate of your door handle. It is a spring-loaded solution to bring your multipoint lock handles back to their normal position after using. The handles were previously equipped with no spring and would drop when the locking mechanism was removed. This component is the best solution to solve this issue. It also stops your 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 a spring multipoint locks. They won't work with handles that are not sprung, and you will have to cut a hole in the backplate to allow them to fit. (Please check the image for a technical diagram). They are a replacement for existing broken or missing cassettes within the backplates of door handles of numerous brands of uPVC doors. They are available as a single unit. They have a square-cut out that accommodates an 8mm shaft. These spring cassettes are an excellent cost-effective solution to the issue of handles on your doors that are sagging. These spring cassettes are simple to install and can extend the lifespan of your uPVC door.
