UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors get worn out over time and need to be replaced. It is crucial to keep the same dimensions as the handles that were previously used when replacing them. The three measurements to check are the top screw position, lever and key hole dimensions. Use the size guide to assistance with this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever/lever handle is a contemporary door handle designed to work with new or replacement doors. This style of door handle is available in a wide range of styles & finishes. A variety of manufacturers provide this type of handle, 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 durable materials, and are perfect for multi-point lock doors that require a strong design. The handles are inline and run off the same spindle and screw fixings. They can be easily incorporated into new or existing uPVC/Composite doors. The spring lever design allows the handle to be set and angled to provide a comfortable grip and is suitable for all users. The handle has been endurance tested to 200,000 cycles, this allows for the assurance of the quality of the finish and the performance of the handle over time. The lever that is sprung can be reduced to accommodate a wider range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is located further back. A shorter lever can be used for doors that have a latch that can be activated with the thumb located on the inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad upvc door handle operates differently than lever handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handle types can either use a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two offset spindles or inline (pad). They are usually employed on UPVC doors with double glazing and come in a range of finishes and variations. The handles have been tested to a minimum of 200,000 cycles and are available in a variety of finishes, including White, Silver, Chrome & Gold. The finish meets BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, which gives the handle a high degree of durability and performance for its intended use. All of the UPVC lever pad designs are supplied with the spindle and screws which allow them to be fitted on any new or existing uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is often an advantage when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers are spring-loaded, which solves the issue of door handles sagging from their horizontal position when they are not being used. When choosing a replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is crucial to match the dimensions of the PZ on both the multipoint lock and the uPVC door. This measurement is also referred to as 'handle centres or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the correct handles. Once you have the correct PZ size you will then be required to make sure that the handle lever pads and push pads are in a suitable shape to fit the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handles that you require for your doors. They are typically round or square with an internal lever and an external push pad. The majority of UPVC Lever Pads that we sell are spring-loaded. This means they return to a horizontal state when they are not in use instead of hanging and possibly being stuck in the frame. This keeps draughts out of the building. The majority of UPVC lever pad handles come in both left and right handed versions that allow them to be installed on either side of the doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other types of doors. They operate with a key to unlock a cylinder case that will reveal pins that can be aligned with those inside the lock body, allowing them to turn the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security. Selecting the right cylinder for your needs is crucial; it is contingent on the way your doors and handle are utilized. For example, external doors require a higher security cylinder, whilst internal doors can be secured with the standard cylinder. Some cylinders have extra features that can improve security, like anti-drill or anti bump properties. To ensure that the euro cylinder is the correct size for your door, it must be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the central screw hole to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn in the event that one is present. If you cannot measure using the lock in its position, you can take it out of it. It is essential to ensure that there is no cylindrical lock that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to snapping lock attacks. The design of many modern cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease attack chances by forcing the cylinders to rotate in a different direction. This can to deflect an attack and keep your door safe. Certain cylinders are made to resist snapping. This is a common attack on cylinders. A specially designed tool is used to break the break line of the lock and then the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a quicker and easier way to gain access than a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the break-in which can make it difficult to prove insurance claims. Spring Cassette The spring cassette is located within the base of your door handle's backplate providing a sprung solution to return the multipoint lock handles back to their original position after use. window handles used to have no spring and would drop when the locking mechanism was disengaged. The addition of this simple element is one of the best methods to correct this, and is an effective way to keep your upvc doors from getting stuck in either closed or open position, as they aren't always simple to manually close by hand. These spring cassettes are specifically designed for use with multipoint locks that are sprung They will not work with multipoint handles that are not sprung and you will need to have a hole specifically cut in your backplate to allow these to fit (please see image for technical diagram). They are a replacement for existing broken or missing cassettes in the backplate of the door handle for various kinds of uPVC doors. They have an elongated square that allows for an 8mm spindle to be used and are available in a variety of.
