UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors are worn out with time and require to be replaced. It is crucial to be able to match the dimensions of the old handles when replacing them. The top screw position the lever, and the keyhole sizes are the three measurements you need to verify. Use the size guide to assist you. Inline Lever/Lever A lever/lever handle is a contemporary door handle that is designed to fit new or replacement doors. This kind door handle is offered in a wide range of designs and finishes. A number of manufacturers offer this handle including Avocet, ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale. Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The door handles made of uPVC/Composite are made of sturdy materials and are ideal for multi-point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline and run off the same spindle and screw fixings so they are easily installed on existing or new uPVC/Composite doors. The handle can be placed and angled to fit all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles. This ensures that the finish is of high quality and performance over time. The lever that is sprung can be reduced to accommodate the widest range of locks. This is especially useful for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is located further back. A shortened lever is also an ideal choice for doors where the latch can be activated by the thumb turn located on the inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently than lever handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handles can work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from both sides using two offset or inline spindles (pad). They are typically utilized on UPVC doors with double glazing. They are available in a range of finishes and variations. The handles are available in a variety of 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 the intended use. All UPVC lever pads for handles include a spindle and screws, and can be fitted on a uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is usually an advantage when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers are spring-loaded, which solves the issue of door handles sagging out of the horizontal position when they are not being used. It is important to match up the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when choosing a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is often called the “handle centre” or “cylinder centres' and is a critical aspect in ensuring that you have the right handles. After upvc replacement door handles have identified the correct size of PZ, you will need to ensure that the lever and push pads are shaped to fit the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. These are typically round or square with an internal lever and an external push pad. The majority of UPVC lever pads that we sell are sprung, meaning that they return to their horizontal position after not in use, instead of hanging out and possibly sticking in the frame. This stops draughts and cold air from entering a home. The majority of UPVC lever pad style handles come in both left and right handed versions that allow them to be put on either side of the doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks can be found on uPVC and other types of doors. Cylinder locks are operated by using a key that unlocks the cylinder case. This exposes pins that can be aligned with those inside the lock, and permit them to rotate the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders are available with up to six pins. Doors that are internal and external require different levels of security. The choice of cylinder you choose is essential. It depends on the amount of use your doors and handles will receive. For instance, doors that are external must be secured with a higher security cylinder, whilst internal doors can be secured using a standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders come with additional features which can enhance security further, such as anti-drill or anti-bump properties. To ensure that the euro cylinder is the correct size for your door, it must be measured correctly. 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 recommended to do this with the lock in place however, in the event that this is not possible, you may take it off to measure. It is important to avoid having a cylindrical lock that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This can make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks. Most newer cylinders have been constructed with bump and anti-drill features built into their design. They are designed to decrease the risk of attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in a different direction. This will help to deflect attacks and keep your door safe. There are also cylinders that have been constructed to resist snapping. This is a growing type of attack on cylinders, which is where the break line of the lock is smashed using a special tool to break the front of the cylinder to allow the door to be opened. This is a lot faster and more straightforward than gaining access through a multipoint lock and leaves no evidence of a break-in, which could hinder the insurance claim. Spring Cassette This spring cassette is located in the base plate of the door handle. It provides a sprung solution to help return your multipoint lock handles to their normal position after usage. The handles had no spring and would drop when the locking mechanism was disconnected. This component is the best solution to fix this problem. It also prevents your door from becoming stuck in the closed or open position, as they are difficult to close manually. These spring cassettes have been specifically designed for use with multipoint locks that are sprung but they won't work with non-sprung multipoint handles. You will need to have a custom hole cut into the backplate to allow them to fit (please look at the image for a technical diagram). They are a replacement for damaged or missing cassettes inside the door handle backplate of numerous brands of uPVC doors. They have an elongated square that accommodates an 8mm spindle and are sold as a set. These spring cassettes provide an excellent value solution for the issue of door handles that are sagging. They are simple to install and will extend the lifespan of your uPVC door. Contact us for more information on our wide range of uPVC accessories and spares.
