Types of UPVC Door HandlesIf your door handle made of uPVC requires replacement, it is essential to find the right replacement for your home. A locksmith can provide and install high-security uPVC door handles with extra security features.The most important measurements are measurement A (known as PZ) and the length of the backplate (measurement F). Make sure to check these measurements to ensure your new uPVC handles will fit.Lever/LeverA lever is a rigid rod that pivots around the point. When you apply force to the end of the lever it is likely to cause it to turn the fulcrum in the direction of the force. This motion increases the force and lets you lift or move things that normally require more force to lift.The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the maximum amount of movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever is extended, the larger the mechanical advantage. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing distance from fulcrum point to the point at which you are applying force by the distance between the fulcrum’s point and the end of lever.Levers can have different effects based on the method by which the force is applied. A class 2 lever, for example is prone to turning in the opposite direction once the effort force is applied. If you push the door’s handle the force will create rotational effects similar to this.However, levers don’t create energy. Levers multiply the force by changing small amounts of effort applied over a long distance into greater amounts of force applied over shorter distances. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and transport massive quantities of cargo. The lever principle is employed in everyday tools such as crowbars. hammer claws, fishing rods and your own legs when you stand on the hand brake of your car.Lever/PadLever pad handles, also referred to as upvc door handles, feature levers on both sides to operate the multipoint locks. These are available in various finishes and variations and can be used on a wide range of materials that include UPVC doors, Aluminium doors & Timber Doors. They are sold in pairs for the inner and exterior door with screws and spindles included. They are also available in both handed and unhanded versions for different users.They are commonly used in new constructions and are installed to replace doors made of upvc. They are typically operated by lifting the levers, which throw out all of the multipoint locks, and turning the key to close or unlock. They provide additional security compared to lever handles for doors because the locking function can only be accessed by entering the door with a key unless the door is deadlocked.They’re not as secure as a cylinder bolt but are a reasonable alternative for a home with more security. The only downside is that they don’t provide the same level of security as a cylinder lock and so don’t prevent external access to your home if the door is left open.We stock a large number of lever pad upvc handles that are made by top manufacturers in the market.

Some come with a backplate inserted, while others are movable to accommodate different fixing centers.Lever/SnibLever latches are the simplest type of door handles. The lever is pulled down to open a latch inside the door that can be locked with keys. Certain lever privacy handles work in the same way however, with the addition of a lock snib (like a doorknob).A snib button is very useful, especially for homes where it’s important to maintain privacy or security. You can use the snib button to block your guests from entering the home until they are ready. This type handle can also be used on interior doors such as those in bedrooms, where you wish to restrict outside access.Snib buttons may cause problems in certain situations, particularly when you have locks that are old and warped doors. If the snib is used in a mistake, or by a person who isn’t quite used to it, the door could close and shut you out. You can usually get in by knocking the door frame or letterbox. But this isn’t the best option.If your uPVC door has a snib lock We recommend replacing the handle with an modern E-LOK 7-Series smart lock.

The handles themselves are constructed with a solid metal construction and are BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 for corrosion resistance.Lever/Moveable PadThis popular handle design is commonly used on front doors. It is advantageous because it has the benefit of preventing the door from being opened without an outside key in the event that the lock has not been deadlocked. This is achieved with a ‘pad-shaped’ external handle that locks into the gap between the handle and lock case.This handle is designed to work with uPVC multipoint locks that employ a split spindle mechanism. This type of operation requires the lever handle and the external pad handle to be fitted to the same lock case. This could be a straightforward replacement of the existing uPVC handle, however it could also require a lock case change or a brand new set to handle furniture.These aluminium lever/movable pad door handles are suitable for uPVC doors and come with a slide bearing that is maintenance-free as well as spring cassettes and fixing lugs included.
