UPVC Replacement Door Handles The handles on your doors get worn out with time and require to be replaced. When doing this it is important that the new handles are in line with the dimensions of the old handle. The three measurements to check are the top screw's position, lever and key hole dimensions. Refer to the size guide for help with this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever handle or lever is a modern door handle designed to work with new or replacement doors. This type of door handle is available in a wide range 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 door handles of uPVC/Composite are made of robust materials and are ideal for doors with multi-point locks that require a strong design. The handles are inline and run with the same spindle as well as screw fixings so they are easily installed on doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old. The handle can be positioned and angled to fit the needs of all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles. This helps to ensure that the quality of finish and performance over time. The lever that is sprung can be reduced to accommodate the widest range of locks. This is useful for narrower doors where the cylinder is further back in the door. A shortened lever can also be used on doors with latches which can be operated with the thumb inside. Lever Pad The lever pad upvc handle is distinct from the lever handles used on the majority of doors. These handles are operated by one spindle or two spindles, either inline or offset. They are usually employed on UPVC double glazed doors and come in a variety of styles and finishes. The handles have been tested to at least 200 000 cycles and are available in various finishes like White, Silver, Chrome & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and resistant to corrosion. This gives the handle a high performance and durability to serve its intended use. All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles come with a spindle and screws that allow them to be put on an existing or new uPVC door. The backplate fixing centres of 211mm allow for a larger size handle that can often be a benefit in replacing a defective or worn multi point door lock mechanism. These levers for handles are also spring-loaded, which solves the issue of door handles sagging out of their horizontal position when they are not being used. It is important to match up the PZ dimensions of both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when selecting the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is often referred to as the 'handle centre' or 'cylinder centres which is a crucial aspect of matching up the correct handles. Once you have the proper PZ size, you'll have to ensure that the handle lever pads and push pads are in a suitable shape to fit the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved handles you need for your doors. They typically have rectangular or round in shape with an internal lever as well as an external push pad. Most of the UPVC lever pads that we sell are sprung, meaning that they will return to their horizontal position after not being used, instead of hanging out and potentially sticking in the frame. This stops draughts from entering the building. The majority of UPVC lever pad style handles are available in left and right handed models which allows them to be placed on either side of doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks can be found on uPVC and other kinds of doors. The cylinder lock operates by using a key that unlocks the cylinder's case. This reveals pins that can be aligned with those inside the lock and allow them to rotate the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro Cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with internal and external doors usually having different levels of security. The selection of a cylinder is crucial. It depends on the type of use your doors and handles receive. Doors that are external, for instance are required to be fitted with cylinders that are more secure while doors inside can be secured with a standard cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that increase security, like anti-drill or anti-bump properties. A euro cylinder must be measured accurately to ensure that it is the correct size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to the other end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one. It is best to do this with the lock in place however when this isn't feasible, you can take it off and remove it to measure. A cylinder that extends beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks such as snapping locks, therefore it is essential that it is not too long. The design of most newer cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features. upvc door handles are designed to decrease the risk of attack by forcing the cylinder rotate in the opposite direction. This will help to prevent attacks and ensure your doors are secure. There are also cylinders made to resist snapping. This is an increasingly common method of attack on cylinders which is where the break line of the lock is attacked by a tool that is specially designed to snap off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to open. This is faster and more straightforward than gaining access through multipoint locks and leaves little evidence of a burglary, which can impede the insurance claim. Spring Cassette The spring cassette is located within the base of your door handle backplate, providing a spring solution that returns your multipoint lock handles to their rest position after use. In the past, a lot of these types of handle didn't have a spring built into them, and without it they can droop or 'drop' once the locking mechanism is disengaged. This simple component is the best solution to solve this issue. It also helps prevent your door from becoming stuck in the closed or open position, as they aren't easy to close manually. The spring cassettes were made to be used with sprung multipoint locks. They will not fit handles that aren't sprung and you'll have to cut a hole into your backplate for them to fit. (Please look at the image for a detailed diagram). They are a replacement for existing broken or missing cassettes within the backplate of the door handle for various brands of uPVC doors. They are fitted with a square cut out which can accommodate an 8mm spindle, and are available in a variety of. These spring cassettes are a great value solution to the problem of sagging door handles. They are simple to install and will prolong the life span of your uPVC doors.
