UPVC Replacement Door Handles

Over time the handles on your doors will wear down and need to be changed. When doing this it is important that the new handles conform to the dimensions of the handle that was previously used.

The top screw's location as well as the lever and keyhole sizes are the three measurements you need to check. Use the size guide to aid you.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever/lever door handle is a modern handle that can be installed on doors that are new or replacement. This style door handle is offered in a wide range of designs and finishes. A variety of manufacturers provide this type of handle, including Avocet ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale.

The uPVC/Composite door handles are made of robust materials and are ideal for multi point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline and they use the same screws and spindle to secure them. They can be easily installed on any uPVC/Composite door.

The handle can be placed and angled to accommodate any user. The handle has been endurance tested to 200,000 cycles, this will ensure the quality of the finish and the performance of the handle over time. The lever that is sprung can be cut to fit the widest range of locks. This is particularly useful for doors with narrower openings where the cylinder is further away from the door. A shortened lever is also an excellent option for doors that have latches that can be operated by a thumb turn inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles that are found on most doors. These handle types can either operate from a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side using two offset spindles or inline (pad). They are usually employed on UPVC double glazed doors. They come in many variations & finishes.

The handles have been tested to at least 200 000 cycles and are available in several finishes including White, Silver, Chrome & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and resistant to corrosion. This provides the handle with an outstanding performance and durability for its intended purpose.

All of the UPVC lever pad designs are supplied with screws and a spindle that allow them to be put on an existing or new uPVC door. The backplate fixing centres of 211mm allow for a wider size handle that is often a benefit when replacing a window handle a faulty or worn multi point door lock mechanism. The handle levers are sprung, solving the problem of door handles sagging from their horizontal position when not in use.

When choosing a replacement UPVC handle and spindle it is important to match the dimensions of the PZ on both the multipoint lock and the uPVC door. This measurement may also be referred to as 'handle centres or cylinder centre'. It is important for matching the correct handles.

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

The majority of the UPVC Lever Pads that we offer are spring-loaded. This means that they will return to a horizontal position when they are not in use instead of hanging, and possibly being stuck in the frame. This stops draughts and cold air from entering a home. The majority of UPVC lever pad handles come in both left and right handed models, allowing them to be installed on either side of doors.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are commonly used on uPVC doors, but can also be used on other types of door. Cylinder locks are operated with a key that unlocks the cylinder case. This exposes pins that can be aligned to those in the lock, allowing them to turn the revolving camera, opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security.

Selecting the right cylinder for your needs is essential; it depends on the way your doors and handle are utilized. For example, external doors require a higher security cylinder, while internal doors can be secured with an ordinary cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that can 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 correctly. The cylinder must be measured from the screw hole at the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, should there be one. It is recommended to do this with the lock in place however, in the event that this is not possible, you can remove it to measure. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the replace window handle and escutcheon could be susceptible to attacks like snapping locks, so it is crucial to make sure it's not too long.

Most newer cylinders have been made with anti-drill and bump resistance features built into their design. These features are designed to minimize the chance of a attack by forcing the cylinder rotate in a different direction. This can help to deflect an attack and keep your door safe.

Certain cylinders are constructed to resist snapping. This is an increasingly common type of attack on cylinders, which is where the break line of the lock is smashed by a tool that is specially designed to break off the front of the cylinder and 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 break-in which can delay insurance claims.

Spring Cassette

This spring cassette sits inside the base of your door handle's backplate, supplying a spring-loaded solution to return the multipoint lock handles back to their rest position after usage. The handles were previously equipped with no spring and would drop when the locking mechanism was disengaged. This simple part is the most effective way to address this issue. It also prevents your upvc door from becoming stuck in the closed or open position since they are difficult to close manually.
