UPVC Replacement Door Handles As time passes the handles on your doors will wear out and will require replacement. In this case, it is crucial that the new handles match the critical dimensions of the old handle. The three measurements to be inspected are the top screw position, lever and key hole sizes. Check the size guide for assistance in this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever/lever handle is a contemporary door handle designed to suit new or replacement doors. This type door handle is available in a variety of designs 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 uPVC/Composite handles are made from robust materials, and are ideal for multi-point lock doors that need a heavy-duty design. The handles are inline and use the same screws and spindle to secure them. They can be easily mounted on new or existing uPVC/Composite door. The handle can be adjusted and angled to accommodate any user. The handle has been tested to 200,000 cycles. This ensures that the quality of finish and performance will last for a long time. The sprung lever can also be shortened to fit the widest range of locks. This is especially useful for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is located further back. A shorter lever can be used for doors with latches that can be opened by the thumb on the inside. Lever Pad The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles found on most doors. These handle types can either use a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two inline or offset 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 a variety of finishes, including White, Chrome and Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to corrosion. This gives the handle a high performance and long-lasting durability for its intended use. All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles come with a spindle and screws that allow them to be installed on a new or existing uPVC door. The 211mm backplate fixing centres allow for a larger handle, which can be beneficial when replacing a faulty or worn multi point door lock mechanism. These levers for handles are also sprung, solving the problem of handles that slide from their horizontal position when they are not being used. It is essential to ensure that the dimensions of the PZ for both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when selecting the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is also called the “handle centre” or “cylinder centres and is an essential aspect in ensuring that you have the correct handles. When you have the right PZ size, you'll have to ensure that the handle lever pads and push pads are of a appropriate shape to accommodate the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compatible handles you require for your doors. These are typically round or square, with an internal lever, and an external push pad. The majority of UPVC lever pads we sell are sprung, meaning that they will return to their horizontal position when not in use, instead of hanging out and possibly securing in the frame. This stops draughts and cold air from entering a property. Also, the majority of the UPVC lever pad handles are hand-operated, allowing you to install them on either side of the door. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are usually found on uPVC doors, but can be utilized on other types of door. The cylinder lock is operated by using a key that unlocks the cylinder case. This exposes pins that can be aligned with the pins in the lock and allow them to turn the revolving camera, opening the door. Euro Cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with both internal and external doors usually having different levels of security. The choice of the correct cylinder is essential; it is dependent on the way your doors and handles are used. Doors that are external, for instance should be equipped with higher security cylinders and internal doors can be secured using a standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders come with additional features that increase security, for instance anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics. A euro cylinder must be measured accurately to ensure that it is the right 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 cannot measure using the lock in its position, you can remove it. It is essential to ensure that there is no extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks. The design of most newer cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease the chance of attack by forcing cylinders to rotate in a new direction. This helps deflect the attack and keep your doors safe. Certain cylinders are made to withstand snapping. This is a common occurrence on cylinders. A special tool is used to break the break line of the lock and then the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a quicker and more convenient method of gaining access than through the use of a multipoint locking system. It also leaves no evidence of the break-in which can make it difficult to prove insurance claims. Spring Cassette The spring cassette is positioned in the base of your door handle's backplate providing a sprung solution that returns the multipoint lock handles back to their normal position after usage. There was a time when these types of handle did not have a spring built into them, and without it they are more likely to slide or drop when the locking mechanism has been disengaged. This simple component is the best solution to address this issue. It also stops your upvc door from becoming stuck in either the open or closed position, as they aren't easy to close manually. The spring cassettes were made to be used with a spring multipoint locks. They will not fit handles that aren't sprung and you'll have to cut a hole into the backplate to allow them to fit. (Please look at the image for a detailed diagram). They are a replacement for existing damaged or missing cassettes inside the backplate of the door handle for many kinds of uPVC doors.
