UPVC Replacement Door HandlesAs time passes the handles on your doors will wear out and will require replacement. It is important to keep the same dimensions as the handles you have previously replaced when replacing them.The top screw’s location as well as the lever and keyhole size are the three measurements you have to check. Use the size guide to help with this.Inline Lever/LeverA lever/lever door handle is a contemporary handle that can be used on replacement or new doors. This kind of handle is available in a variety of designs and finishes. This handle is offered by several manufacturers including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale.Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door HandleThe uPVC/Composite door handles are made of robust materials and are ideal for multi-point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline and run off the same spindle and screw fixings. They can be easily fitted to doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old.The handle can be placed and angled to suit the needs of all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200 000 cycles. This helps to ensure that the finish is of high quality and performance over time. The lever that is sprung can be reduced to accommodate more locks. This is particularly beneficial for narrower door frames in which the cylinder is further back. A shorter lever can be used for doors with latches which can be operated with the thumb inside.Lever PadThe lever pad upvc handle is distinct from the lever handles found on most doors. These handle types are either operated by a single spindle or by two spindles, either inline or offset. They are usually used on UPVC double glazed doors. They are available in a variety of variations and finishes.The handles are available in various finishes, including White, Chrome and Gold. The finish is in line with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, giving the handle a high level of durability and performance for the intended use.All of the UPVC lever pad styles for handles are supplied with screws and a spindle which allow them to be put on any new or existing uPVC door. The 211mm backplate fixing centres permit a bigger size of handle which can often be a benefit in replacing a defective or worn multi point door lock mechanism. These handle levers have a spring, which solves the issue of door handles that move out of their horizontal position when not in use.When selecting the replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is crucial to match the dimensions of the PZ of both the multipoint lock and the uPVC door. This measurement is also called ‘handle centre or cylinder centres’. It is important for matching the correct handles.When you have the right PZ size you will then have to ensure that the handle lever pads and push pads are in a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handles that you require for your doors. They are usually rectangular or round in design with an internal lever and external push pad.Most of the UPVC lever pads that we offer are sprung, which means that they return to their horizontal position after not being used, instead of hanging out and possibly sticking in the frame. This stops draughts and cold air from getting into a house. It is also the case that the majority of the UPVC handle lever pad style handles are handed which allows you to place them on either side of the door.Euro CylinderCylinder locks are typically found on uPVC doors, but they can also be used on other types of doors. Cylinder locks are operated by using a key that unlocks the cylinder’s case. This reveals pins that can be aligned with those in the lock, allowing them to rotate the revolving camera, opening the door. window handles can be fitted with up to six pins, with both internal and external doors usually requiring different levels of security.The choice of cylinder you choose is vital. It is based on the amount of use your doors and handles receive. Doors that are external, for instance should be equipped with higher security cylinders and internal doors can be secured using a standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders come with additional features that can improve security further, such as anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics.To make sure that the euro cylinder is the correct size for your door, it must be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the hole in the center of the fixing screw to the other end of the cylinder including the thumb turn if you have one. It is recommended to do this with the lock in place however, when this isn’t feasible, you can take it off and remove it to take measurements. A cylinder that extends beyond the handle and escutcheon could be susceptible to attacks like snapping locks, therefore it is crucial to make sure it’s not too long.The design of many modern cylinders comes with anti-drilling as well as bump resistance features. These are designed to reduce the risk of attack by forcing the cylinder rotate in a different direction. This will help deflect the attack, and protect your door.There are cylinders that are constructed to resist snapping. This is a common attack on cylinders. A specific tool is used to break the lock’s break line and the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a quicker and easier way to gain access than through the use of a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the break-in which could make it difficult to prove insurance claims.Spring CassetteThis spring cassette is located inside the base plate of your door handle. It provides a sprung solution to return your multipoint lock handles to their normal position after use. The handles had no spring, and would slide when the locking mechanism was removed. The addition of this simple element is one of the most effective ways to fix this and it is also an effective way to keep your doors made of upvc from getting stuck in an open or closed position, since they aren’t always simple to close manually.These spring cassettes were designed to be used with a spring multipoint locks. They won’t work with handles that are not sprung, and you will have to cut a hole in your backplate for them to fit. (Please look at the image for a more detailed diagram). These cassettes are a solution for damaged or missing cassettes on the backplate of uPVC door handles. They feature a square cut-out that allows for an 8mm spindle to be used and are available in a variety of.These spring cassettes are an excellent cost-effective way to fix the problem of handles on your doors that are sagging.
