UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors are worn out over time and will need to be replaced. When replacing them, it is important that the new handles match the dimensions of the handle that was previously used. The top screw's location, the lever and the keyhole dimensions are the three measurements that you need to determine. Use the size guide to aid you. Inline Lever/Lever A lever handle or lever is a modern door handle designed to work with new or replacement doors. This style of handle is available in a variety of designs 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 handles of uPVC/Composite are constructed from robust materials, and are perfect for doors with multiple points that require a robust design. The handles are inline and run off the same spindle and screw fixings so they are easily installed on doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old. The handle can be positioned and angled to fit any user. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles. This ensures that the quality of finish and performance will last for a long time. The lever that is sprung can be shortened to fit more locks. This is especially useful for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is located 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 A Lever Pad upvc door handle operates differently from lever-type handles found on most doors. These handles are operated by one spindle, or two spindles, inline or offset. They are typically employed on UPVC double-glazed doors and come in many variations & finishes. The handles have been tested to a minimum of 200,000 cycles and are available in a variety of finishes like White Silver, Chrome, & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to rust. This provides the handle with the best performance and long-lasting durability for the purpose it was designed for. All UPVC handle lever pads include a spindle and screws and can be mounted on the uPVC door. The backplate fixing centers of 211mm allow for a larger size of handle which can often be a benefit when replacing a damaged or worn multi point door lock mechanism. The levers for these handles have springs, which can solve the problem of door handles that sag out of their horizontal position when not being used. When selecting a replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is essential to match the dimensions of the PZ of the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement is also known as the “handle centre” or “cylinder centres' and is a critical aspect of matching up the right handles. Once you have the correct PZ size you will then need to ensure that the lever pads and push pads are a suitable shape to fit the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved handles you need for your doors. They are usually rectangular or round in shape, with an internal lever and external push pad. The majority of UPVC Lever Pads we offer are spring-loaded. This means that they return to a horizontal position after not being used, rather than hanging and possibly being stuck in the frame. This stops draughts from entering the home. It is also the case that the majority of UPVC lever pad handles are handed, allowing you to install them on either side of the door. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other types of doors. The cylinder lock is operated with a key that unlocks the cylinder's casing. This reveals pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock, and permit them to turn the camera that rotates, opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security. Choosing the right cylinder is essential; it is contingent on how your doors and handles are used. External doors, for example should be equipped with cylinders with greater security, whereas doors inside can be secured with a standard cylinder. Certain cylinders come with extra features that can increase security, for instance, anti-drill or anti-bump properties. A euro cylinder needs to be measured accurately to ensure it's the right size for your door. The cylinder must be measured from the screw hole in the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, should there be one. It is best to do this while the lock is in place however if this is not feasible, you can take it off and take it off to measure. A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks, such as snapping locks, therefore it is essential that it's not too long. The design of many modern cylinders comes with anti-drilling as well as bump resistance features. They are designed to minimize attack chances by forcing the cylinders to rotate in a different direction. This helps prevent attacks and protect your doors. There are cylinders that have been constructed to withstand snapping. This is a more frequent method of attack on cylinders which is where the break line of the lock is smashed using a special tool to break off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to open. This is much quicker and less difficult than gaining access through multipoint locks. It also leaves no evidence of a burglary, which can hinder an insurance claim. Spring Cassette The spring cassette is situated inside the base plate of the door handle. It offers a spring-loaded solution to bring the multipoint lock handles to their original position after usage. The handles had no spring and would drop when the locking mechanism was removed. This component is the best way to address this issue. It also prevents your door from getting stuck in either the closed or open position, as they aren't easy to close manually. These spring cassettes were designed to be used with sprung multipoint locks. They will not fit handles that aren't sprung and you'll have to cut a hole in your backplate for them to fit. (Please check the image for a more detailed diagram). These cassettes are a replacement to broken or missing cassettes that are in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are fitted with an elongated square that accommodates an 8mm spindle and are sold as a set. These spring cassettes are an excellent cost-effective way to fix the problem of your door handles that are sagging. These spring cassettes are simple to install and will increase the lifespan of your uPVC door. Contact us to learn more about our selection of uPVC accessories and spares.
