UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors wear out over time and will need to be replaced. When replacing them, it is crucial that the new handles conform to the dimensions of the handle that was previously used. The three measurements to be inspected are the top screw's location, lever and key hole sizes. Check the size guide for assistance in this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever handle is a contemporary door handle designed to suit new or replacement doors. This kind of handle is available in a variety of styles and finishes. This handle is offered by a number of manufacturers including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale. Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The uPVC/Composite handles are made of tough materials and are ideal for multi-point lock doors that need a heavy-duty design. The handles are inline, and they use the same screws and spindle to fix them. They can be easily installed on new or existing uPVC/Composite door. The handle can be positioned and angled to suit all users. The handle has been endurance-tested to 200,000 cycles. This helps to ensure that the finish is of high quality and performance over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to fit a broad range of locks. This is useful for doors with narrower openings where the cylinder is further away from the door. A shortened lever can also be used on doors with a latch that can be opened by 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 one spindle or two spindles inline or offset. They are typically used on UPVC doors with double glazing. They are available in a range of finishes and variations. The handles have been tested to a minimum of 200 000 cycles and are available in various finishes like White, Silver, Chrome & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to corrosion. This gives the handle an outstanding performance and durability for its intended use. All UPVC handle lever pads include a spindle and screws, and can be fitted on the uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm allow for a wider handle, which is typically an advantage when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. These handle levers have springs, which eliminate the problem of handles for doors that slide out of the horizontal position when not being used. When choosing a replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is important to match the dimensions of the PZ on both the multipoint lock and the uPVC door. This measurement can also be called 'handle centres or cylinder centre'. It is important to match the right handles. Once you have the correct PZ size, you'll need to ensure that the handle lever pads and push pads are a suitable shape to fit the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handles that you need for your doors. These are typically round or square with an internal lever, and an external push pad. Most of the UPVC lever pads that we sell are sprung, meaning that they will return to their horizontal position when they are not in use, instead of hanging out and possibly sticking in the frame. This helps prevent the draughts and cold air from getting into a house. 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 doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are typically used on uPVC doors, but they can also be found on other types of doors. They operate with a key to unlock a cylinder case which will reveal pins that can be aligned to those in the lock body and allowing them to turn the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. External and internal doors require different levels of security. Selecting the right cylinder for your needs is crucial; it depends on how your doors and handles are used. For instance, doors that are external must be secured with an extra secure cylinder, while doors inside can be secured with the standard cylinder. Certain cylinders come with extra features that can increase security, for instance, anti-drill or anti bump properties. A euro cylinder must be properly measured to ensure it's the correct size for your door. upvc door handle 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. It is best to do this with the lock in place, but in the event that this is not possible, you may remove it to measure. A cylinder that extends beyond the handle and escutcheon could be vulnerable to attacks, such as snapping locks, therefore it is important that it is not too long. The design of many modern cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease the risk of attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in a different direction. This will help to stop the attack and protect your doors. There are also cylinders that are constructed to resist snapping. This is an increasingly common kind of attack on cylinders, where the break line inside the lock is attacked with a special tool to break the front of the cylinder to allow the door to be opened. This is much quicker and more straightforward than opening multipoint locks and leaves no evidence of a burglary, which can impede an insurance claim. Spring Cassette This spring cassette sits within the base of your door handle backplate providing a sprung solution and returning your multipoint lock handles to their original position after usage. There was a time when these types of handle did not have a spring built into them, and as a result, they can droop or drop when the locking mechanism is removed. The addition of this simple element is one of the most effective ways to fix this issue and is an effective way to keep your upvc doors from getting stuck in the open or closed position, as these aren't always easy to close manually. These spring cassettes have been specifically made for use with multipoint locks sprung, they will not fit non-sprung multipoint handles. You will require a custom hole cut into your backplate in order for them to fit (please check the image for a technical diagram). These cassettes are a replacement to damaged or missing cassettes that are in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They have a square cut out which accommodates an 8mm spindle and are available in a variety of. These spring cassettes are an excellent cost-effective way to fix the problem of door handles that are sagging. They are simple to put in and will prolong the lifespan of your uPVC doors.
