upvc replacement door handles on your doors get worn out over time and will need to be replaced. In this case, it is important that the new handles conform to the dimensions of the old handle. The three measurements you need to examine are the top screw position as well as the key hole and lever sizes. Use the size guide to aid you. Inline Lever/Lever A lever door handle is a contemporary handle that can be installed on new or replacement doors. This type of door handle is available in a variety 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 from robust materials, and are perfect for multi-point lock doors that require a strong design. The handles are inline and operate from the same spindle and screw fixings, so they can be easily incorporated into doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old. The handle can be adjusted and angled to suit any user. The handle has been endurance tested to 200,000 cycles. This helps to ensure the quality of the finish and performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever can also be shortened to fit more locks. This is particularly useful for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is located further back. A lever that is shorter is a good choice for doors where the latch could be opened by a thumb turn inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc functions differently than lever handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handles are operated by a single spindle or by two spindles, either inline or offset. They are typically utilized on UPVC doors with double glazing and come in a variety of finishes & variations. The handles are available in a variety of finishes including White, Chrome and Gold. The finish is compliant with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, thereby giving the handle a high level of durability and performance for the intended use. All UPVC handle lever pads include a spindle and screws, and can be fitted on the uPVC door. The 211mm backplate fixation centres permit a larger handle, which is often a benefit when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers come with springs, which eliminate the issue of door handles that sag out of horizontal position when they are not being used. When selecting a replacement UPVC handle and spindle it is crucial to match the dimensions of the PZ on both the multipoint lock and the uPVC door. This measurement may also be referred to as 'handle centres or cylinder centre'. It is important for matching the correct handles. When you have the right PZ size, you'll be required to make sure that the handle lever pads and push pads are of a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved handles you need for your doors. These are usually round or square, with an internal lever and an 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 being used, instead of hanging out and possibly securing in the frame. This helps prevent the draughts and cold air from entering a home. The majority of UPVC lever pad handles come in both left and right handed models that allow them to be installed on either side of doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other types of doors. Cylinder locks are operated by a key which unlocks the cylinder's casing. The case is then able to reveal pins that can be aligned to those in the lock and allow them to rotate the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins, with both internal and external doors typically needing different levels of security. Choosing the right cylinder is crucial; it is contingent on how your doors and handle are used. External doors, for example should be equipped with cylinders with greater security and doors inside can be secured using the standard cylinder. In addition, some cylinders have extra features that can improve security further, such as anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics. A euro cylinder should be measured correctly to ensure it's the correct size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to the other end of the cylinder, including the thumb turn if you have one. If you are unable measure it using the lock in its position, you can remove it. A cylinder that extends beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks such as snapping locks, therefore it is crucial that it's not too long. The majority of modern cylinders have been constructed with anti-drill and bump resistance features that are built into their design. They are designed to decrease the chance of attack by forcing cylinders to rotate in a different direction. This can deflect the attack, and ensure your door is secure. There are cylinders that have been designed to resist snapping. This is an increasingly common method of attack on cylinders, which is where the break line of the lock is attacked by a tool that is specially designed to snap off the front of the cylinder and allow the door to be opened. This is a lot faster and easier to achieve than opening multipoint locks. It also leaves no evidence of a break-in which can impede an insurance claim. Spring Cassette The spring cassette is situated within the base plate of the door handle. It is a spring-loaded solution to bring your multipoint lock handles to their normal position after use. The handles had no spring, and would slide when the locking mechanism was removed. This simple component is the best way to solve this issue. It also helps prevent your door from getting stuck in either the open or closed position as they are difficult to close manually. These spring cassettes are specially designed for use with multipoint locks that are sprung, they will not fit unsprung multipoint handles and you must have a hole specifically cut in your backplate in order for them to fit (please look at the image for a technical diagram). They are a replacement for broken or missing cassettes in the door handle backplate of many brands of uPVC doors. They have a square cut out which allows for an 8mm spindle to be used and they are supplied individually. These spring cassettes provide an excellent value solution for the problem of sagging door handles. These spring cassettes are simple to install and will increase the life of your uPVC door.
