UPVC Replacement Door Handles As time passes, the handles on your doors will wear out and will require replacement. In this case, it is crucial that the new handles conform to the critical dimensions of the old handle. The three measurements you need to examine are the top screw's position as well as the key hole and lever dimensions. Refer to the size guide for assistance with this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever door handle is a modern handle that can be used on replacement or new doors. This style door handle is available in a wide range of styles & finishes. This handle is available from several 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 multi-point lock doors that require a strong design. The handles are inline, and they use the same spindle and screws to fix them. They can be easily mounted on a new or existing uPVC/Composite doors. The design of the sprung lever allows the handle to be set and angled for comfortable operation and is suitable for all users. The handle has been tested to 200,000 cycles. This will ensure the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. window handles www.repairmywindowsanddoors.co.uk that is sprung can be cut to fit more locks. This is particularly useful for narrower door frames in which the cylinder is further back. A shorter lever is a good choice for doors that have latches that can be opened by a thumb turn inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad upvc door handle operates differently than lever handles found on most doors. These handle types are either operated by one spindle, or two spindles inline or offset. They are typically employed on UPVC double glazed doors. They are available in a variety of variations and finishes. The handles have been tested to at least 200 000 cycles and are available in several finishes like White and Silver, as well as 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 of the UPVC lever pad styles for handles are supplied with the spindle and screws which allow them to be fitted on an existing or new uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm allow for a wider handle, which is typically an advantage when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. These handle levers are also spring-loaded, thereby solving the issue of handles hanging from their horizontal position when they are not in use. It is important to match the dimensions of the PZ for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when selecting a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement may also be called 'handle centre or cylinder centre'. It is important for matching the correct handles. After you have determined the proper PZ size, you will need to make sure that the lever and push pads are shaped to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. They are usually a square or round shape with an internal lever as well as an external push pad. The majority of UPVC Lever Pads we sell are sprung. This means they can be reverted to a horizontal position when not in use instead of hanging and possibly securing to the frame. This keeps draughts out of the property. The majority of UPVC lever pad style handles come in both left and right handed versions, allowing them to be placed on either side of the doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are usually found on uPVC doors, but can also be found on other types of door. They work with a key to unlock a cylinder case which is then revealed with pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock body, allow them to rotate the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins with internal and external doors typically needing different levels of security. Choosing the right cylinder is essential; it is dependent on how your door and handle are utilized. External doors, for instance, should be fitted with higher security cylinders while doors inside can be secured with the standard cylinder. In addition, some cylinders are available with extra features that can improve security, for instance anti-drill or anti-bump properties. To make sure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it must be measured correctly. The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to the end of the cylinder including the thumb turn if you have one. It is best to do this while the lock is in place however, if this is not possible, you can remove it to measure. It is essential to avoid having a cylinder that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks. The design of most newer cylinders has anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease attacks by forcing cylinders to rotate in a new direction. This can to deflect attacks and keep your door safe. Certain cylinders are made to resist snapping. This is an increasingly common type of attack on cylinders where the break line inside the lock is smashed by a tool that is specially designed to break the front of the cylinder to allow the door to be opened. This is a quicker and simpler method to gain access than a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the break-in which could delay insurance claims. Spring Cassette This spring cassette sits within the base of your door handle's backplate providing a sprung solution to return your multipoint lock handles to their original position after usage. There was a time when these types of handle did not have a spring built into them and without this they tend to droop or 'drop' once the locking mechanism is disengaged. This simple part is the most effective way to solve this issue. It also helps prevent your upvc door from becoming stuck in the closed or open position since they are difficult to close manually.
