UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors get worn out over time and will need to be replaced It is crucial to keep the same dimensions as the handles you have previously replaced when replacing them The top screw position the lever and the keyhole sizes are the three measurements that you need to verify Use the size guide to help you Inline LeverLever A lever door handle is a contemporary handle that can be used on replacement or new doors This type of handle is available in various styles and finishes This handle is available from several manufacturers including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The uPVCComposite door handles are made of robust materials and are suitable for doors with multipoint locks that require a heavy duty design The handles are inline and they use the same spindle and screws to fix them They can be easily mounted on any uPVCComposite doors The handle can be adjusted and angled to suit all users The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200000 cycles This allows for the assurance of the quality of the finish and the performance of the handle over time The sprung lever is also adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames where the cylinder is located further back A shorter lever is a good choice for doors where the latch could be operated by a thumb turn on the inside Lever Pad The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles that are used on the majority of doors The handle can work off one single spindle inline or independently from each side using two offset spindles or inline pad They are commonly employed on UPVC doors with double glazing They are available in a variety of finishes variations The handles are available in various finishes including White chrome and Gold The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to rust This gives the handle the best performance and longlasting durability for its intended use All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles are supplied with screws and a spindle allowing them to be installed on any new or existing uPVC door The backplate fixing centres of 211mm allow for a larger handle which can be beneficial when replacing a damaged or worn multipoint door lock mechanism The levers for these handles have springs which can solve the problem of door handles that move out of their horizontal position when they are not being used It is crucial to match up the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when selecting 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 When you have the right PZ size you will then be required to make sure that the lever pads and push pads are a appropriate shape to accommodate the American with Disabilities Act ADA approved handles you require for your doors These are typically rectangular or round in shape with an internal lever and an external push pad Most of the UPVC lever pads we sell are sprung meaning that they will return to their horizontal position after not in use rather than hanging out and potentially 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 models allowing them to be installed on either side of the doors Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks can be found on uPVC and other types of doors They operate with a key to unlock a cylinder case which is then revealed with pins that can be aligned with the pins in the lock body allowing them to turn the cam thereby opening the door Euro Cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with external and internal doors generally having different levels of security Choosing the right cylinder is vitally important this depends on how your door and handle are utilized Doors that are external for instance are required to be fitted with cylinders with greater security and internal doors can be secured with the standard cylinder In addition some cylinders come with additional features that can improve security even more like antidrill or antibump features A euro cylinder should be measured correctly to ensure it is the right size for your door The cylinder should 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 with the lock in place but in the event that this is not possible you can take it off to measure A cylinder that extends beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks such as snapping locks so it is essential that it is not too long Most modern cylinders are constructed with antidrill and bump resistance features built into their design They are designed to decrease the chance of a attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in an opposite direction This can help to deflect an attack and protect your door Some cylinders are designed to withstand snapping This is an increasingly common method of attack on cylinders where the break line in the lock is targeted with a special tool to snap off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to be opened This is a much faster and simpler method to gain access than through a multipoint locking system It also leaves less evidence of the burglary which can hinder insurance claims Spring Cassette The spring cassette is situated in the base plate of the door handle It provides a sprung solution to help return the multipoint lock handles to their resting position after using These handles used to have no spring and would droop when the locking mechanism was removed Adding this simple component is among the best methods to correct this and it is also a great way to prevent your upvc doors from getting stuck in either closed or open position
