UPVC Replacement Door Handles

Over time the handles on your doors will wear out and need to be changed. It is important to match the dimensions of the handles you have previously replaced when replacing them.

The top screw's position as well as the lever and keyhole sizes are the three measurements that you need to verify. Use the size guide to assistance with this.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever door handle is a contemporary handle that can be put in on replacement or new doors. This type of handle is available in a variety of designs and 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 uPVC/Composite handles are made from robust materials, and are ideal for multi-point lock doors that require a strong design. The handles are inline, and they use the same spindle and screws to secure them. They can be easily installed on a new or existing uPVC/Composite door.

The spring lever design 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 ensures that the finish is of high quality and performance over time. The sprung lever is also adjustable to fit a broad range of locks. This is particularly beneficial in doors with smaller door frames where the cylinder is located further back. A shortened lever can also be used for doors that have a latch that can be activated with the thumb inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc functions differently than lever handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handles are operated by a single spindle or by two spindles inline or offset. They are usually employed on UPVC double-glazed doors and are available in a variety of variations and finishes.

The handles have been tested to a minimum of 200k cycles and are available in various finishes like White Silver, Chrome, & Gold. The finish is in line with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, thereby giving the handle a high level of durability and performance for the intended use.

All UPVC handle lever pads include a spindle and screws and can be installed on a uPVC door. The backplate fixation centers of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is typically a benefit when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. These handle levers are also spring-loaded, thereby solving the issue of handles that slide from their horizontal position when they are not in use.

It is important to ensure that the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when choosing a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement may also be called 'handle centre or cylinder centres'. It is important for matching the correct handles.

After you have identified the correct PZ size and the correct PZ size, you must ensure that the lever and push pads are shaped to fit the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. They typically have rectangular or round in design with an internal lever and external push pad.

The majority of the UPVC Lever Pads we sell are spring-loaded. This means they return to a horizontal position when not in use instead of hanging, and possibly being stuck in the frame. This prevents drafts and cold air from entering a home. The majority of UPVC lever pad handles are available in left and right handed models which allows them to be placed on either side of doors.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are usually found on uPVC doors, but they can also be found on other types of doors. Cylinder locks are operated with a key that unlocks the cylinder's casing. This reveals pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock, and permit them to turn the camera that rotates, opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins. External and internal doors require different levels of security.

The choice of the correct cylinder is vitally important; this is dependent on the way your doors and handles are used. For example, external doors require a more secure cylinder while internal doors can be secured using an ordinary cylinder. In  upvc door handle , some cylinders are available with extra features that increase 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 accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the hole in the center of the fixing screw to the end of the cylinder, including the thumb turn if you have one. If you are unable measure it using the lock in a fixed position, you can take it out of it. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon could be vulnerable to attacks, such as snapping locks, therefore it is crucial that it's not too long.

Most modern cylinders are made with anti-drill and bump resistance features that are built into their design. These are designed to reduce the chance of a attack by forcing the cylinder rotate in an opposite direction. This will help to deflect the attack and keep your doors safe.

Certain cylinders are made to resist snapping. This is a more frequent method of attack on cylinders which is where the break line of the lock is smashed using a special tool to break off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to open. This is a much faster and easier way to gain access than through the use of a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the burglary which could hinder insurance claims.

Spring Cassette

The spring cassette is located in the base of the door handle backplate, supplying a spring-loaded solution that returns your multipoint lock handles to their original position after usage. The handles were previously equipped with no spring, and would slide when the locking mechanism was disconnected. This simple feature is among the best ways to correct this and it is also an excellent way to stop your upvc doors from getting stuck in either closed or open position, as they aren't always easy to manually close by hand.

The spring cassettes were made to be used with a spring multipoint locks. They are not compatible with handles that aren't sprung, and you will have to cut a hole into your backplate in order for them to fit. (Please see the image for a technical diagram). These cassettes can be used as a replacement for damaged or missing cassettes in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are sold as one unit. They come with a square cut out that can accommodate an 8mm shaft.
