UPVC Replacement Door Handles Over time, the handles on your doors will wear out and need to be changed. When doing this it is important that the new handles conform to the critical dimensions of the handle that was previously used. The three measurements to be inspected are the top screw's location as well as the key hole and lever dimensions. 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 door handle is available in a wide range of styles and finishes. This handle is offered by several manufacturers including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale. Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The handles made of uPVC/Composite are made of tough materials and are ideal for multi-point lock doors that require a robust design. The handles are inline and work from the same spindle and screw fixings. They can be easily fitted to new or existing uPVC/Composite doors. The sprung lever design allows the handle to be placed and angled to ensure a comfortable experience and is suitable for all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles, this allows for the assurance of the quality of the finish and performance of the handle over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to fit a wide range of locks. This is useful for doors with narrower openings where the cylinder is further back from the door. A shortened lever is also an excellent option for doors that have latches that can be operated by a thumb turn inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad upvc door handle operates differently to the lever type handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handles are operated by a single spindle or by two spindles inline or offset. They are typically utilized on UPVC doors with double glazing. They come in a range of finishes & variations. The handles are available in a variety of finishes, including White Chrome, and Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to rust. This provides the handle with an outstanding performance and durability for its intended purpose. All of the UPVC lever pad styles for handles come with a spindle and screws that allow them to be put on a new or existing uPVC door. The backplate fixing centers of 211mm allow for a wider size handle that can be beneficial in replacing a defective or worn 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 being used. It is crucial to match the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when selecting a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is also known as the 'handle centre' or 'cylinder centres which is a crucial aspect of matching up the appropriate handles. Once you have decided on the correct size of PZ, you will need to make sure that the push and lever pads are designed to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. They typically have a square or round design with an internal lever and external push pad. The majority of UPVC lever pads we offer are sprung, which means that they will return to their horizontal position when not in use, rather than hanging out and possibly sticking in the frame. This helps prevent the draughts and cold air from entering a property. Also, the majority of UPVC lever pad handles are hand-operated which allows you to place them on either side of the door. window handles are usually used on uPVC doors, but can also be used on other types of doors. They work by using a key to unlock a cylinder case that then reveals pins which can be aligned with those in the lock body, permitting them to turn a revolving cam, thus opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins with both internal and external doors generally having different levels of security. Selecting the right cylinder for your needs is vitally important; this depends on the way your door and handle are used. External doors, for instance are required to be fitted with cylinders with greater security while doors inside can be secured using a standard cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that can increase security, like anti-drill or anti bump properties. A euro cylinder should be measured accurately to ensure that it is the correct size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the screw hole at the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, should there be one. If you are unable to measure with the lock in position, you can remove it. A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon may be susceptible to attacks like snapping locks, therefore it is important that it's not too long. The design of many modern cylinders comes with anti-drilling as well as bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease the chances of an attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This helps deflect the attack and protect your doors. There are also cylinders 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 then the front of cylinder is snapped off. This is a quicker and simpler method to gain access than a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the burglary which could hinder insurance claims. Spring Cassette This spring cassette is found inside the base plate of your door handle. It is a spring-loaded solution to bring your multipoint lock handles to their resting position after using. The handles had no spring and would droop when the locking mechanism was removed. The addition of this simple element is among the most effective ways to fix this issue and is an excellent way to stop your doors made of upvc from getting stuck in the open or closed position, as these aren't always simple to manually close by hand. These spring cassettes are specifically made for use with multipoint locks that are sprung, they will not fit unsprung multipoint handles and you will require a hole specifically cut in the backplate to allow them to fit (please look at the image for a technical diagram). These cassettes can be used as a replacement to broken or missing cassettes on the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are sold as a single unit. They have a square-cut out that accommodates an 8mm shaft. These spring cassettes are a fantastic cost-effective solution to the issue of handles on your doors sagging. These spring cassettes are easy to install and will increase the life of your uPVC door. Please contact our team to learn more about our range of uPVC accessories and spares.
