UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors are worn out over time and need to be replaced. It is important to keep the same dimensions as the old handles when replacing them. The three measurements to be inspected are the top screw's location, lever and key hole sizes. Use the size guide to assistance in this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever handle is a contemporary door handle that is designed to fit new or replacement doors. This kind of door handle is available in a variety of designs 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 ideal for multi-point lock doors that require a strong design. The handles are inline and operate with the same spindle as well as screw fixings, so they are easily installed on new or existing uPVC/Composite doors. The handle can be placed and angled to fit all users. The handle has been tested to 200 000 cycles. This ensures that the quality of finish and performance over time. The sprung lever is adjustable to fit a wide range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames, in which the cylinder is further back. A shorter lever can be used for doors with a latch that can be activated with the thumb inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc functions differently from lever-type handles on doors. These handle types are either operated by a single spindle or by two spindles, either inline or offset. They are usually employed on UPVC double glazed doors. They come in many variations & styles. The handles have been tested to a minimum of 200,000 cycles and are available in several finishes including White Silver, Chrome, & Gold. The finish is in line with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, which gives the handle a high level of durability and performance for its intended use. All of the UPVC lever pad designs come with the spindle and screws, allowing them to be put on a new or existing uPVC door. The backplate fixation centers of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is usually beneficial when replacing an old or faulty multi-point door lock mechanism. These handle levers are also spring-loaded, which solves the issue of door handles sagging out of the horizontal position when not in use. It is essential to match the dimensions of the PZ for both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when choosing a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. upvc door handles may also be called 'handle centre' or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the right handles. Once you have decided on the proper PZ size and the correct PZ size, you must make sure that the lever and push pads are designed to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. These are usually round or square with an internal lever, and an external push pad. The majority of the UPVC Lever Pads we sell are sprung. This means that they will return to a horizontal position when not in use, rather than hanging and possibly sticking in the frame. This stops draughts and cold air from getting into a house. It is also the case that the majority of UPVC handle lever pad style handles are handed, allowing you to install them on either side of the door. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks can be found on uPVC and other types of doors. Cylinder locks are operated by a key which unlocks the cylinder case. The case is then able to reveal pins that can be aligned to the pins in the lock, allowing them to turn the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins, with internal and external doors typically having different levels of security. The choice of cylinder you choose is essential. It's dependent on the type of use your doors and handles receive. External doors, for instance, should be fitted with cylinders that are more secure while doors inside can be secured using an ordinary cylinder. In addition, some cylinders have extra features that increase security even more, like anti-drill or anti-bump features. To make sure that the euro cylinder is the correct size for your door, it must be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to each end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one. It is best to do this while the lock is in place, but when this isn't feasible, you can take it off and take it off to measure. A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon might be vulnerable to attacks such as snapping locks, therefore it is essential to make sure it's not too long. Most modern cylinders are made with anti-drill and bump resistance features built into their design. These features are designed to minimize 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. Certain cylinders are made to resist snapping. This is a growing method of attack on cylinders which is where the break line of the lock is attacked with a special tool to snap off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to open. This is a lot faster and easier to achieve than opening multipoint locks. It also leaves little evidence of a break-in, which can hinder the insurance claim. Spring Cassette This spring cassette sits within the base of your door handle backplate, providing a spring solution and returning your multipoint lock handles to their rest position after usage. The handles were previously equipped with no spring and would droop when the locking mechanism was removed. This simple part is the best solution to address this issue. It also prevents your upvc door from becoming stuck in either the closed or open position, as they aren't easy to close manually. These spring cassettes are specifically made for use with sprung multipoint locks, they will not fit unsprung multipoint handles and you will require a custom hole cut into your backplate to allow these to fit (please see image for technical diagram). These cassettes are a replacement to broken or missing cassettes in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are supplied in one unit. They have a square-cut out that is able to accommodate an 8mm shaft. These spring cassettes provide an excellent value solution for the issue of sagging door handles. They are simple to install and will extend the lifespan of your uPVC doors. Please contact our team to learn more about our wide range of uPVC accessories and spares.
