UPVC Replacement Door Handles As time passes, the handles on your doors will wear down and will require replacement. It is important to be able to match the dimensions of the old handles when replacing them. The top screw position the lever, and the keyhole size are the three measurements you have to verify. Refer to the size guide for assistance with this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever handle is a contemporary door handle that is designed to fit new or replacement doors. This kind of handle is available in various styles and finishes. A number of manufacturers offer this type of handle, 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 perfect for multi-point lock doors that require a strong design. The handles are inline and work off the same spindle and screw fixings, so they can be easily fitted to doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old. The spring lever design allows the handle to be set and angled to provide a comfortable grip and is suitable for all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200 000 cycles. This helps ensure that the finish is of high quality and performance over time. The sprung lever is adjustable to fit a wide range of locks. This is particularly useful for doors with narrower openings where the cylinder is further away from the door. A shorter lever is an excellent option for doors where the latch could be opened by a thumb turn inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently to the lever type handles on doors. These handles are operated by one spindle or two spindles inline or offset. 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 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 the intended use. All of the UPVC lever pad designs come with screws and a spindle that allow them to be fitted on an existing or new uPVC door. The backplate fixing centres of 211mm allow for a larger size handle that can be beneficial in replacing a defective or worn multi point door lock mechanism. These handle levers have springs, which eliminate the problem of door handles that move out of the horizontal position when they are not being used. It is important to match the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when selecting the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is often referred to as the “handle centre” or “cylinder centres and is an essential aspect in ensuring that you have the right handles. When you have the right PZ size you will then be required to make sure that the handle lever pads and push pads are of a appropriate shape to accommodate the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compatible 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 sticking in the frame. This stops draughts from entering the property. Also, the majority of UPVC lever pad handles are swivel, allowing you to install them on either side of the door. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other types of doors. They work by using a key to unlock a cylinder that will reveal pins that can be aligned to those in the lock body, allow them to rotate the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security. Choosing the right cylinder is vitally important; this is dependent on the way your doors and handles are used. Doors that are external, for instance should be equipped with cylinders with greater security, whereas doors inside can be secured using the standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders come with additional features that can improve security, for instance anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics. A euro cylinder needs to be measured correctly to ensure it is the right size for your door. The cylinder needs to be measured from the screw hole at the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn if there is one. It is best to do this while the lock is in place, but in the event that this is not possible, you can remove it to measure. A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon may be susceptible to attacks like snapping locks, so it is essential to make sure it's not too long. upvc replacement door handles of most newer cylinders has anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to minimize the chance of attack by forcing cylinders to turn in a new direction. This can to deflect an attack and keep your door safe. Certain cylinders are constructed to resist snapping. This is a more frequent kind of attack on cylinders where the break line inside the lock is smashed by a tool that is specially designed to snap off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to open. This is faster and less difficult than opening multipoint locks. It also leaves no evidence of a burglary, which could hinder the insurance claim. Spring Cassette The spring cassette is located in the base of your door handle backplate, supplying a spring-loaded solution and returning your multipoint lock handles to their rest position after use. These handles used to have no spring and would droop when the locking mechanism was removed. Adding this simple component is one of the best ways to correct this issue and is a great way to prevent your doors made of upvc from becoming stuck in either closed or open position, as they are not always easy to manually close by hand. These spring cassettes have been specifically designed for use with multipoint locks that are sprung, they will not fit multipoint handles that are not sprung and you will need to have a hole specifically cut in your backplate to allow these to fit (please look at the image for a technical diagram). These cassettes are a replacement to broken or missing cassettes that are in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are fitted with an elongated square that allows for an 8mm spindle to be used and are sold as a set. These spring cassettes are an excellent value solution for the problem of sagging door handles. They are simple to install and will prolong the life span of your uPVC doors.
