UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors get worn out over time and need to be replaced. It is essential to be able to match the dimensions of the handles that were previously used when replacing them. The three measurements to check are the top screw position, lever and key hole dimensions. Use the size guide to help with this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever handle is a modern door handle designed to work with new or replacement doors. This style door handle is offered in a wide range of styles and finishes. A number of manufacturers make this type of handle, including Avocet ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale. Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The handles of uPVC/Composite are constructed from durable materials, and are perfect for doors with multiple points that require a strong design. The handles are inline and run with the same spindle as well as screw fixings. They are easily installed on new or existing uPVC/Composite doors. The sprung 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 endurance-tested to 200 000 cycles. This helps to ensure that the quality of finish and performance over time. The sprung lever is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is particularly useful for narrower doors where the cylinder is situated further back from the door. A shortened lever can also be used for doors with latches that can be activated with the thumb inside. Lever Pad The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles that are used on the majority of doors. These handles are operated by one spindle, or two spindles, inline or offset. They are usually used on UPVC doors with double glazing. They are available in a variety of finishes and variations. 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.

All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles come with screws and a spindle, allowing them to be installed on an existing or new uPVC door. The backplate fixation centers of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is usually a benefit when replacing an old or faulty multi-point door lock mechanism. The levers for these handles have springs, which can solve the problem of door handles that move out of the horizontal position when not being used. It is crucial to match the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when selecting the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is also referred to as the 'handle centre' or 'cylinder centres and is an essential aspect to match the right handles. Once you have the correct PZ size you will then be required to make sure that the lever pads and push pads are of a suitable shape to fit the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handles that you need for your doors. They are usually rectangular or round in shape with an internal lever and external push pad. The majority of UPVC Lever Pads that we sell are sprung. This means that they will return to a horizontal position when not being used instead of hanging and possibly being stuck in the frame. This stops draughts from entering the building. It is also the case that the majority of UPVC handle lever pad style handles are swivel that allows you to put them on either side of the door. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are commonly found on uPVC doors, but can also be used on other types of doors. The cylinder lock is operated by using a key that unlocks the cylinder's case. The case is then able to reveal pins that can be aligned with those in the lock and allow them to turn the revolving camera, opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. Doors that are internal and external require different levels of security. Selecting the right cylinder for your needs is essential; it depends on the way your doors and handles are used. External doors, for example should be equipped with cylinders with greater security, whereas doors inside can be secured using an ordinary cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that can improve security, for instance, anti drill or anti bump properties. To make sure that the euro cylinder is the right size for your door, it must be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the screw hole at the center 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 remove it. It is important to not have a cylinder that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to snapping lock attacks. Most newer cylinders have been made with bump and anti-drill features built into their design. These are designed to reduce the chance of attack by forcing cylinders to rotate in a different direction. This can help prevent attacks and protect your doors. There are also cylinders that are designed to withstand snapping. This is a common attack on cylinders. A specially designed tool is used to break the lock's break line and the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a quicker and easier way to gain access than using 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. window handles is located in the base of your door handle backplate, supplying a spring-loaded solution that returns your multipoint lock handles to their normal position after usage.
