UPVC Replacement Door Handles As time passes, the handles on your doors will wear out and require replacement. It is important to be able to match the dimensions of the handles you have previously replaced when replacing them. The three measurements to be inspected are the top screw's location as well as the key hole and lever sizes. Use the size guide to aid you. Inline Lever/Lever A lever/lever handle is a modern door handle that is designed to fit new or replacement doors. This kind of handle is available in many designs and finishes. This handle is available from a number of manufacturers including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale. Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The door handles of uPVC/Composite are constructed of durable materials and are perfect for multi point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline, and use the same screws and spindle to secure them. They can be easily installed on a new or existing uPVC/Composite door. The sprung 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, which helps to ensure the quality of the finish and performance of the handle over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is useful for narrower doors where the cylinder is further back from the door. A shortened lever is also an ideal choice for doors where the latch could be opened by a thumb turn 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 each side using two offset or inline spindles (pad). They are typically employed on UPVC double glazed doors and come in a variety of styles and styles. The handles are available in various finishes, including White Chrome, and Gold. The finish meets BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, giving the handle a high degree of durability and performance for its intended use. All UPVC lever pads for handles include a spindle and screws and can be installed on the uPVC door. The 211mm backplate fixing centres permit a bigger size handle that can often be a benefit in replacing a defective or worn multi point door lock mechanism. These handle levers are also spring-loaded, thereby solving the issue of door handles sagging out of their horizontal position when not in use. When choosing the replacement UPVC handle and spindle it is important to match the dimensions of the PZ on both the multipoint lock and the uPVC door. This measurement is often known as the handle centre or 'cylinder centres which is a crucial aspect of matching up the correct handles. Once you have decided on the proper PZ size it is important to ensure that the lever and push pads are designed to fit the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. They typically have rectangular or round in design with an internal lever as well as an external push pad. The majority of UPVC Lever Pads we offer are sprung. This means that they return to a horizontal position when not being used instead of hanging, and possibly securing to 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, allowing them to be installed on either side of the doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are usually found on uPVC doors, but can also be found on other types of door. They operate with a key to unlock a cylinder case that then reveals pins which can be aligned to those inside the lock body, allowing them to turn a revolving cam, thus opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins, with internal and external doors usually needing different levels of security. Choosing the right cylinder is crucial; it depends on the way your doors and handle are utilized. Doors that are external, for instance, should be fitted with cylinders with greater security while internal doors can be secured with an ordinary cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders are available with extra features that can improve security further, such as anti-drill or anti-bump features. A euro cylinder must be properly measured to ensure it's the correct size for your door. The cylinder needs to be measured from the central screw hole to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, if there is one. If you are unable to measure with the lock in position, you can take it out of it. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon could be vulnerable to attacks, such as snapping locks, so it is essential that it is not too long. The design of many modern cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease the chance of a attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This can help prevent attacks and ensure your doors are secure. Certain cylinders are made to resist snapping. This is a common occurrence on cylinders. A specific tool is used to break the lock's break line and then the front of cylinder is snapped off. This is a faster and more convenient method of gaining access than a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the burglary which could hinder insurance claims. Spring Cassette This spring cassette sits within the base of your door handle backplate providing a sprung solution and returning your multipoint lock handles to their rest position after use. These handles used to have no spring and would drop when the locking mechanism was disconnected. This simple part is the best solution to fix this problem. It also helps prevent your door from getting stuck in either the open or closed position, as they are difficult to close manually. These spring cassettes were created to be used with a sprung multipoint lock. They will not fit handles that aren't sprung and you'll have to cut a hole into your backplate in order for them to fit. (Please check the image for a technical diagram). These cassettes can be used as a replacement for damaged or missing cassettes in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are available as a single unit. They have a square-cut out that accommodates an 8mm shaft. These spring cassettes are an excellent value solution for the issue of door handles that have become sagging. They are simple to put in and will prolong the life span of your uPVC doors.
