UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors are worn out over time and will need to be replaced. In this case, it is important that the new handles conform to the exact dimensions of the handle that was previously used. The top screw position as well as the lever and keyhole dimensions are the three measurements that you need to determine. Refer to the size guide for help with this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever handle or lever is a modern-day door handle designed to suit new or replacement doors. This style door handle is offered in a variety of styles and finishes. This handle is available from a number of manufacturers 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 sturdy materials and are suitable for multi-point lock doors that require a heavy duty design. The handles are inline and operate off the same spindle and screw fixings so they can be easily fitted to doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old. The handle can be placed and angled to suit all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up 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 sprung lever is also adjustable to fit a wide range of locks. This is especially useful for narrower door frames where the cylinder is further back. A lever that is shorter can be used for doors with latches that can be activated with the thumb located on the inside. Lever Pad The lever pad upvc handle is different from the lever handles used on the majority of doors. These handles can work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from both sides using two offset spindles or inline (pad). They are usually employed on UPVC double glazed doors. They come in a variety of styles and finishes. The handles have been tested to the minimum of 200 000 cycles and are available in several finishes, including White Silver, Chrome, & Gold. The finish meets BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, thereby giving the handle a high level of durability and performance for its intended use. All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles are supplied with a spindle and screws that allow them to be put on an existing or new uPVC door. The backplate fixing centers of 211mm permit a bigger handle, which is often a benefit when replacing a faulty or worn multi point door lock mechanism. These handle levers have springs, which can solve the issue of door handles that move out of horizontal position when not in use. It is crucial to ensure that the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when choosing the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is also referred to as 'handle centres or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the right handles. After you have identified the proper PZ size it is important to ensure that the lever and push pads are designed to fit the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles that you need for your door. They are usually rectangular or round in shape with an internal lever and external push pad. The majority of the UPVC Lever Pads that we sell are sprung. This means that they return to a horizontal state when not being used, rather than hanging and possibly sticking in the frame. This keeps draughts out of the building. The majority of UPVC lever pad style handles are available in left and right handed versions that allow them to be placed on either side of doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other types of doors. The cylinder lock is operated by a key which unlocks the cylinder's casing. This exposes pins that can be aligned with those in the lock and allow them to rotate the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins with internal and external doors usually requiring different levels of security. Choosing the right cylinder is crucial; it is dependent on how your door and handle are used. External doors, for example should be equipped with cylinders with greater security and internal doors can be secured using a standard cylinder. Some cylinders have extra features that increase security, such as anti drill or anti bump properties. To ensure that the euro cylinder is the correct size for your door, it should be measured correctly. The cylinder should be measured from the hole in the center of the fixing screw to each end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one. It is recommended to do this with the lock in place however, if this is not possible, you may remove it to take measurements. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon could be susceptible to attacks like lock snapping, so it is essential to make sure it's not too long. Most newer cylinders have been designed with bump and anti-drill features built into their design. They are designed to decrease the chance of attack by forcing cylinders to rotate in a new direction. This can help deflect the attack, and ensure your door is secure. Some cylinders are designed to resist snapping. This is a more frequent type of attack on cylinders which is where the break line of the lock is targeted using a special tool to snap off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to be opened. This is a lot faster and more straightforward than gaining access through multipoint locks and leaves no evidence of a break-in which can hinder an insurance claim. Spring Cassette This spring cassette is located in the base plate of your door handle. It is a spring-loaded solution to help return the multipoint lock handles to their original position after using. The handles had no spring and would droop when the locking mechanism was disconnected. This component is the best way to solve this issue. It also prevents your door from becoming stuck in either the closed or open position since they aren't easy to close manually. These spring cassettes were created to be used with a sprung multipoint lock. They will not fit handles that are not sprung and you'll have to cut a hole in your backplate in order for them to fit. (Please look at the image for a more detailed diagram). They are a replacement for damaged or missing cassettes inside the backplates of door handles of many kinds of uPVC doors. They are supplied in one unit. They feature a square cut out that is able to accommodate an 8mm shaft. These spring cassettes provide an excellent value solution to the problem of door handles that are sagging. These spring cassettes are simple to install and will increase the life of your uPVC door.
