UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors are worn out over time and need to be replaced. It is essential to keep the same dimensions as the handles that were previously used when replacing them. The top screw's location the lever, and the keyhole size are the three measurements you need to check. Use the size guide to assist you. Inline Lever/Lever A lever door handle is a modern handle that can be installed on doors that are new or replacement. This style door handle is available in a wide range of styles and finishes. A number of manufacturers make this handle including Avocet, ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale. Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The door handles made of uPVC/Composite are constructed of durable materials and are ideal for doors with multi-point locks that require a strong design. The handles are inline and run from the same spindle and screw fixings, so they can be easily incorporated into doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old. The handle can be adjusted and angled to fit all users. The handle has been endurance-tested to 200,000 cycles. This ensures that the quality of finish and performance is maintained over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames, in which the cylinder is further back. A shortened lever can also be used for doors with a latch which can be operated with the thumb on the inside. Lever Pad The lever pad upvc handle is distinct from the lever handles used on the majority of doors. These handles can work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from each side using two offset or inline spindles (pad). They are typically employed on UPVC double glazed doors and are available in a variety of variations and styles. The handles have been tested to at least 200k cycles and are available in a variety of finishes including White and Silver, as well as Chrome & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to rust. This provides the handle with the best performance and durability to serve its intended purpose. All of the UPVC lever pad designs are supplied with the spindle and screws that allow them to be fitted on a new or existing uPVC door. The 211mm backplate fixing centres allow for a larger size handle that is often a benefit in replacing a defective or worn multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers are sprung, solving the problem of door handles sagging out of their horizontal position when they are not in use. When choosing the replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is important to match the PZ dimensions of the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement is often called the 'handle centre' or 'cylinder centres and is an essential aspect to match the appropriate handles. After you have determined the correct size of PZ it is important to make sure that the lever and push pads are shaped to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles that you need for your door. They are typically round or square with an internal lever and an external push pad. The majority of UPVC Lever Pads we offer are sprung. This means they return to a horizontal state when not being used instead of hanging and possibly being stuck in the frame. This prevents draughts from entering the building. Also, the majority of the UPVC lever pad handles are swivel, allowing you to install them on either side of the door. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks can be found on uPVC and other types of doors. Cylinder locks are operated by using a key that unlocks the cylinder case. This exposes pins that can be aligned with those inside the lock and allow them to turn the revolving camera, opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins with both internal and external doors usually requiring different levels of security. The choice of the correct cylinder is essential; it depends on the way your doors and handles are utilized. External doors, for instance should be equipped with higher security cylinders and doors inside can be secured using a standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders come with additional features that increase security even more, like anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics. A euro cylinder needs to be measured accurately to ensure it's the right size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the screw hole in the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, should there be one. If you are unable to measure with the lock in position, you can remove it. It is important to ensure that there is no extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks. The majority of modern cylinders have been designed with anti-drill and bump resistance features included in their design. They are designed to decrease the chances of an attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This can help to deflect an attack and ensure your door is secure. There are this link designed to resist snapping. This is a typical attack on cylinders. A special tool is used to break the break line of the lock, and then the front of cylinder is snapped off. This is a much faster and simpler method to gain access than using a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the break-in which can hinder insurance claims. Spring Cassette This spring cassette is located in the base plate of your door handle. It is a spring-loaded solution to return your multipoint lock handles back to their resting position after usage. The handles had no spring and would drop when the locking mechanism was removed. This simple component is the best way to fix this problem. It also helps prevent your door from getting stuck in either the closed or open position since they are difficult to close manually. These spring cassettes are specifically made for use with sprung multipoint locks They will not work with unsprung multipoint handles and you must have a custom hole cut into your backplate to allow these to fit (please check the image for a technical diagram).
