UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors wear out with time and require to be replaced. It is important to match the dimensions of the old handles when replacing them. The top screw position the lever, and the keyhole dimensions are the three measurements you have to verify. Use the size guide to help with this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever handle or lever is a contemporary door handle designed to work with new or replacement doors. This kind door handle is offered in a wide range of styles & finishes. A number of manufacturers offer this handle including Avocet, ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale. Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The door handles made of uPVC/Composite are made of robust materials and are suitable for multi-point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline and work 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 placed and angled to fit all users. The handle has been endurance tested to 200,000 cycles. This allows for the assurance of the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The lever that is sprung can be reduced to accommodate a wider range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is further back. A lever that is shorter is an ideal choice for doors where the latch can be opened by a thumb turn on the inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad upvc door handle operates differently to the lever type handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handles can work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from each side using two inline or offset spindles (pad). They are usually used on UPVC double-glazed doors and come in a variety of styles and finishes. The handles have been tested to the minimum of 200k cycles and are available in a variety of finishes including White Silver, Chrome, & Gold. The finish is in line with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, giving the handle a high degree of durability and performance for the intended use. All UPVC levers for handles come with a spindle, screws and can be installed on a uPVC door. The backplate fixing centers of 211mm allow for a larger size handle that can often be a benefit in replacing a defective or worn multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers are sprung, solving the problem of handles hanging out of the horizontal position when they are not being used. It is essential to match up the PZ dimensions of both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when selecting the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement may also be called 'handle centre' or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the correct handles. After you have identified the correct PZ size and the correct PZ size, you must ensure that the lever and push pads are shaped to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. These are typically round or square, 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 when not in use, rather than hanging out and possibly sticking in the frame. This prevents drafts and cold air from entering a home. You will also find that the majority of the UPVC lever pad handles are handed which allows you to place them on either side of the door. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks can be found on uPVC and other types of doors. The cylinder lock is operated by using a key that unlocks the cylinder's casing. This exposes pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock, and permit them to rotate the camera that rotates, opening the door. Euro Cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with internal and external doors usually needing different levels of security. The choice of cylinder is crucial. It depends on the type of use your doors and handles receive. External doors, for instance should be equipped with cylinders with greater security and internal doors can be secured with the standard cylinder. Certain cylinders come with extra features that increase security, like anti-drill or anti bump properties. To ensure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it must be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to the end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one. If you are unable to measure with the lock in position, you can remove it. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks, such as snapping locks, therefore it is crucial to make sure it's not too long. Most newer cylinders have been made with anti-drill and bump resistance features built into their design. These features are designed to minimize the risk of attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in a different direction. This can help prevent attacks and ensure your doors are secure. Some cylinders are designed to withstand snapping. This is a common attack on cylinders. A specific tool is used to break the break line of the lock and then the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a quicker and simpler method to gain access than using the use of a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the burglary which could delay insurance claims. Spring Cassette The spring cassette is located within the base of the door handle backplate providing a sprung solution and returning the multipoint lock handles back to their normal position after usage. The handles were previously equipped with no spring and would droop when the locking mechanism was disengaged. The addition of this simple element is among the best ways to correct this issue and is an effective way to keep your upvc doors from getting stuck in the open or closed position, since they aren't always easy to manually close by hand. These spring cassettes have been specifically designed to be used with multipoint locks that are sprung They will not work with non-sprung multipoint handles. upvc door handles will need to have a custom hole cut into the backplate to allow them to fit (please check the image for a technical diagram). These cassettes can be used as a replacement for damaged or missing cassettes on the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are supplied in one unit. They have a square-cut out that can accommodate an 8mm shaft. These spring cassettes are a great value for money way to fix the problem of your door handles that are sagging. These spring cassettes are easy to install and can extend the life of your uPVC door. Contact us for more information on our wide range of uPVC accessories and spares.
