doors These handle types are either operated by one spindle or two spindles inline or offset They are usually used on UPVC double glazed doors They come in a variety of styles and finishes 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 the best performance and durability for its intended use All of the UPVC lever pad styles for handles are supplied with a spindle and screws allowing them to be fitted on an existing or new uPVC door The 211mm backplate fixation centres allow for a wider handle which is usually a benefit when replacing an old or damaged multipoint door lock mechanism The handle levers are springloaded thereby solving the issue of handles hanging from their horizontal position when they are not being used When selecting the replacement UPVC handle and spindle it is essential to match the PZ dimensions of the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door This measurement may also be referred to as handle centres or cylinder centres It is important to match the right handles After you have identified the correct PZ size and the correct PZ size you must ensure that the push and lever pads are shaped to fit the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door They are typically round or square with an internal lever and an external push pad Most of the UPVC lever pads we offer are sprung which means that they will return to their horizontal position when they are not being used instead of hanging out and possibly securing in the frame This helps prevent the draughts and cold air from getting into a house It is also the case that the majority of the UPVC lever pad handles are swivel that allows you to put them on either side of the door Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other kinds of doors The cylinder lock operates by using a key that unlocks the cylinders case This reveals pins that can be aligned with those inside the lock and permit 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 generally requiring different levels of security The choice of the correct cylinder is essential it depends on the way your doors and handle are used External doors for instance are required to be fitted with higher security cylinders and doors inside can be secured using the standard cylinder In addition some cylinders have extra features which can enhance security even more like antidrill or antibump features A euro cylinder needs to be measured accurately to ensure that it is the correct size for your door The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to each end of the cylinder including the thumb turn if you have one It is recommended to do this while the lock is in place however if this is not possible you can remove it to take measurements A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks such as snapping locks therefore it is crucial that its not too long The design of most newer cylinders includes antidrilling and bump resistance features They are designed to decrease the chance of attack by forcing cylinders to rotate in a new direction This helps stop the attack and protect your doors Some cylinders are designed to resist snapping This is a common occurrence on cylinders A specific tool is used to break the break line of the lock and the front of the cylinder is snapped off This is a much faster and more convenient method of gaining access than using a multipoint locking system It also leaves less evidence of the breakin which can delay insurance claims Spring Cassette

have no spring and would slide when the locking mechanism was disconnected This simple feature is one of the best methods to correct this and is an excellent way to stop your doors made of upvc from
