UPVC Replacement Door Handles Over time the handles on your doors will get worn out and will require replacement. It is essential to be able to match the dimensions of the old handles when replacing them. The top screw's position as well as the lever and keyhole size are the three measurements you need to determine. Use the size guide to help you. Inline Lever/Lever A lever or lever door handle is a contemporary handle that can be used on new or replacement doors. This type of handle is available in a variety of styles and finishes. A variety of manufacturers provide this handle, 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 robust materials and are ideal for multi point lock doors that require a heavy duty design. The handles are inline and use the same spindle and screws to fix them. They can be easily mounted on new or existing uPVC/Composite doors. The handle can be positioned and angled to accommodate the needs of all users. The handle has been tested to 200,000 cycles, which will ensure the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever is also adjustable to fit a broad range of locks. This is particularly useful for narrower doors where the cylinder is situated further away from the door. A lever that is shorter can be used on doors with a latch which can be operated with the thumb located on the inside. Lever Pad The lever pad upvc handle is distinct from the lever handles that are commonly found on doors. These handle types are either operated by one spindle, or two spindles, inline or offset. They are typically utilized on UPVC doors with double glazing. They are available in a range of finishes & variations. The handles are available in a variety of finishes, including White Chrome, and Gold. The finish is compliant with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, thereby giving the handle a high level of durability and performance for the intended use. All of the UPVC lever pad designs are supplied with screws and a spindle that allow them to be installed 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 handle levers are spring-loaded, thereby solving the issue of handles that slide out of the horizontal position when they are not in use. When choosing the replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is crucial to match the dimensions of the PZ of both the multipoint lock and the uPVC door. This measurement may also be called 'handle centres or cylinder centres'. It is important for matching the correct handles. Once you have decided on the correct size of PZ it is important to make sure that the lever and push pads are shaped to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles that you need for your door. These are typically rectangular or round in shape, with an internal lever as well as an external push pad. Most of the UPVC lever pads that we offer are sprung, which means 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. The majority of UPVC lever pad style handles come in both left and right handed models which allows them to be installed on either side of the doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other types of doors. They work with a key to unlock a cylinder case which is then revealed with pins that can be aligned to those in the lock body and allowing them to turn a revolving cam, thus opening the door. window handles are available with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security. The choice of cylinder is vital. It depends on the use that your doors and handles will receive. For instance, doors that are external must be secured with an extra secure cylinder, whilst internal doors can be secured with a standard cylinder. Certain cylinders come with extra features that can improve security, like anti-drill or anti bump properties. A euro cylinder should be measured correctly to ensure that it is the correct size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the central screw hole to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn should there be one. It is best to do this with the lock in place, but when this isn't possible, you may take it off to measure. It is crucial to avoid having a extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to snapping lock attacks. The design of many modern cylinders comes with anti-drilling as well as bump resistance features. These are designed to reduce the chances of an attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This will help deflect the attack, and protect your door. Some cylinders are designed to withstand snapping. This is a common attack on cylinders. A specific tool is used to break the break line of the lock and the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a faster and simpler method to gain access than using a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the break-in which can hinder insurance claims. Spring Cassette This spring cassette is found within the base plate of the door handle. It is a spring-loaded solution to help return your multipoint lock handles to their resting position after use. In the past, a lot of handles of this kind did not have a spring built into them, and as a result, they are more likely to slide or 'drop' once the locking mechanism is removed. The addition of this simple element is among the best ways to correct this issue and is a great way to prevent your doors made of upvc from becoming stuck in an open or closed position, since they aren't always simple to manually close by hand. The spring cassettes were made to be used with sprung multipoint lock. 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 see the image for a detailed diagram). They are a replacement for damaged or missing cassettes inside the backplates of door handles of numerous brands of uPVC doors. They feature a square cut out which allows for an 8mm spindle to be used and they are supplied individually. These spring cassettes offer an excellent value solution to the problem of door handles that are sagging. These spring cassettes are easy to install and will increase the lifespan of your uPVC door.
