UPVC Replacement Door Handles Over time the handles on your doors will wear out and need to be changed. In this case, it is important that the new handles match the exact dimensions of the old handle. The three measurements you need to examine are the top screw position, lever and key hole sizes. Use the size guide to aid you. Inline Lever/Lever A lever handle is a modern door handle designed to work with new or replacement doors. This kind 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 robust materials and are ideal for multi-point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline and they utilize the same screws and spindle to secure them. They are easily fitted on new or existing uPVC/Composite door. The sprung lever design allows the handle to be positioned and angled for comfortable operation and is suitable for all users. The handle has been endurance tested to 200,000 cycles, which will ensure the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to fit a wide range of locks. This is particularly useful for doors with narrower openings where the cylinder is situated further back in the door. A lever that is shorter is an ideal choice for doors where the latch can be operated by a thumb turn inside. Lever Pad The lever pad upvc handle is different from the lever handles that are commonly found on doors. These handles are operated by a single spindle or by two spindles, inline or offset. They are generally used on UPVC double glazed doors. They are available in a variety of variations and styles. The handles are available in a variety of finishes including White, Chrome, and Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and resistant to corrosion. This gives the handle a high performance and durability to serve its intended purpose. All of the UPVC lever pad designs are supplied with screws and a spindle, allowing them to be put on a new or existing uPVC door. The 211mm backplate fixation centres permit a larger handle, which is often an advantage when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers are spring-loaded, which solves the issue of handles hanging out of their horizontal position when they are not in use. It is crucial to ensure that the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when choosing a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. upvc door handles can also be called 'handle centre or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the correct handles. After you have determined the correct size of PZ and the correct PZ size, you must ensure that the lever and push pads are designed to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. They are typically square or round with an internal lever and an external push pad. Most of the UPVC lever pads we sell are sprung, meaning that they will return to their horizontal position after not in use, rather than hanging out and possibly sticking in the frame. This prevents draughts from entering the property. The majority of UPVC lever pad style handles come in both left and right handed models, allowing them to be installed 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 doors. The cylinder lock operates with a key that unlocks the cylinder's casing. The case is then able to reveal pins that can be aligned to those in the lock, allowing them to rotate the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. External and internal doors require different levels of security. Selecting the right cylinder for your needs is crucial; it depends on the way your door and handle are used. External doors, for example should be equipped with cylinders with greater security while internal doors can be secured with the standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders come with additional features that increase security further, such as anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics. A euro cylinder must be properly measured to ensure it's the correct size for your door. 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 best to do this while the lock is in place however, in the event that this is not feasible, you can take it off and remove it to take measurements. It is crucial to avoid having a extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks. The design of most newer cylinders comes with anti-drilling as well as bump resistance features. They are designed to minimize attacks by forcing cylinders to turn in a new direction. This can help prevent attacks and ensure your doors are secure. Some cylinders are designed to withstand snapping. This is an increasingly common type of attack on cylinders which is where the break line of the lock is targeted by a tool that is specially designed to break the front of the cylinder and allow the door to be opened. This is a quicker and more convenient method of gaining access than the use of a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the break-in 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 is a spring-loaded solution to return your multipoint lock handles back to their resting position after use. These handles used to have no spring and would drop when the locking mechanism was disconnected. This simple feature is among the best ways to correct this, and is a great way to prevent your doors made of upvc from getting stuck in either closed or open position, since they aren't always easy to manually close by hand. These spring cassettes were created to be used with a sprung multipoint lock. They are not compatible with handles that aren't sprung and you'll need to cut a hole in your backplate for them to fit. (Please check the image for a detailed diagram). These cassettes are a solution to damaged or missing cassettes that are in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They have an elongated square that accommodates an 8mm spindle and are sold as a set. These spring cassettes are an excellent value-for-money way to fix the problem of your door handles sagging. They are simple to put in and will prolong the life span of your uPVC doors. Please contact our team for more information on our wide range of uPVC accessories and spares.
