upvc door locks and handles Replacement Door Handles

As time passes, the handles on your doors will wear out and require replacement. When doing this it is important that the new handles match the critical dimensions of the old handle.

The three measurements to check are the top screw position as well as the key hole and lever sizes. Use the size guide to aid you.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever or lever door handle is a contemporary handle that can be put in on replacement or new doors. This kind of handle is available in various designs and finishes. This handle is offered by 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 sturdy materials and are perfect for multi point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline, and they utilize the same spindle and screws to fix them. They can be easily mounted on new or existing uPVC/Composite door.

The design of the sprung lever allows the handle to be placed and angled for comfortable operation and is suitable for all users. The handle has been tested to 200,000 cycles, which will ensure the quality of the finish and performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever can be cut to fit more locks. This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames, in which the cylinder is further back. A shortened lever can also be used on doors with a latch that can be opened by the thumb on the inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently to the lever type handles that are found on the majority of doors. The handle can operate from a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side using two offset or inline spindles (pad). They are generally employed on UPVC double glazing window handle glazed doors. They come in many variations & styles.

The handles are available in a variety of finishes, including White, Chrome, and 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 the intended use.

All UPVC handle lever pads come with a spindle, screws and can be mounted on a uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is typically beneficial when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers come with springs, which eliminate the problem of handles for doors that slide out of horizontal position when not being used.

When choosing the replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is important to match the dimensions of the PZ of both the multipoint lock and the uPVC door. This measurement can also be referred to as 'handle centres or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the right handles.

Once you have the proper PZ size you will then need to ensure that the lever pads and push pads are a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handles that you require for your doors. These are typically round or square with an internal lever, and an external push pad.

The majority of UPVC Lever Pads that we sell are sprung. This means they will return to a horizontal position when not in use instead of hanging and possibly securing to the frame. This keeps draughts out of the home. It is also the case that the majority of the upvc door handles handle lever pad style handles are handed that allows you to put them on either side of the door.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are commonly used on uPVC doors, but they can also be found on other types of doors. Cylinder locks are operated by using a key that unlocks the cylinder's casing. The case is then able to reveal pins that can be aligned to those in the lock and allow them to rotate the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders are available with up to six pins. Doors that are internal and external require different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder is vital. It depends on the use that your doors and handles receive. For example, external doors must be secured with a higher security cylinder, while internal doors can be secured with a standard cylinder. In addition, some cylinders have extra features that increase security further, such as anti-drill or anti-bump properties.

A euro cylinder needs to be measured accurately to ensure that it is the right size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the hole in the center of the fixing screw to the other end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one. If you are unable measure it using the lock in its position, you can remove it. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks such as lock snapping, so it is essential to make sure it's not too long.

The majority of modern cylinders have been made with bump and anti-drill features built into their design. These are designed to reduce the chance of a attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in an opposite direction. This helps prevent attacks and ensure your doors are secure.

Some cylinders are designed to withstand snapping. This is an increasingly common kind of attack on cylinders which is where the break line of the lock is attacked by a tool that is specially designed to break the front of the cylinder and allow the door to be opened. This is a quicker and easier way to gain access than using the use of a multipoint locking system. It also leaves no evidence of the break-in which could hinder insurance claims.

Spring Cassette

This spring cassette is found inside the base plate of the door handle. It offers a spring-loaded solution to help return the multipoint lock handles to their normal position after usage. In the past, a lot of handles did not have a spring integrated into them, and without it they are more likely to slide or drop when the locking mechanism is removed. This simple feature is among the most effective ways to fix this, and is an effective way to keep your doors made of upvc from becoming stuck in an open or closed position, as they aren't always simple to manually close by hand.

These spring cassettes were designed to be used with sprung multipoint lock. They will not fit unsprung handles and you'll have to cut a hole in the backplate to allow them to fit. (Please see the image for a technical diagram). They are a replacement for broken or missing cassettes within the door handle backplate of many kinds of uPVC doors. They are sold as a single unit. They have a square-cut out that is able to accommodate an 8mm shaft.
