UPVC Replacement Door Handles

Over time, the handles on your doors will get worn out and will require replacement. In this case, it is crucial that the new handles match the exact dimensions of the previous handle.

The three measurements to be inspected are the top screw's location as well as the key hole and lever dimensions. Use the size guide to assist you.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever handle or lever is a contemporary door handle designed to suit new or replacement doors. This style door handle is offered in a variety of designs and finishes. This handle is available from a number of 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 perfect for multi-point lock doors that need a heavy-duty design. The handles are inline and operate from the same spindle and screw fixings. They can be easily fitted to new or existing uPVC/Composite doors.

The design of the sprung lever allows the handle to be positioned and angled to ensure a comfortable experience and is suitable for all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles, which helps to ensure the quality of the finish and performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever can be shortened to fit more locks. This is particularly useful for doors with narrower openings where the cylinder is further back from the door. A shortened lever can also be used for doors that have a latch that can be opened by the thumb inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles that are used on the majority of doors. These handles can use a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two inline or offset spindles (pad). They are typically employed on UPVC doors with double glazed front door handles double glazing window handle and come in a variety of finishes and variations.

The handles have been tested to the minimum of 200 000 cycles and are available in several finishes like white Window handles Silver, Chrome, & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to rust. This gives the handle an outstanding performance and long-lasting durability for its intended use.

All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles are supplied with the spindle and screws which allow them to be installed on any new or existing uPVC door. The 211mm backplate fixation centres allow for a bigger handle, which is often a benefit when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. The levers for these handles have springs, which eliminate the issue of door handles that sag out of horizontal position when not in use.

When choosing a replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is crucial to match the dimensions of the PZ on both the multipoint lock and the uPVC door. This measurement is often referred to as the "handle centre" or "cylinder centres' and is a critical aspect in ensuring that you have the appropriate handles.

Once you have decided on the proper PZ size, you will need to make sure that the lever and push pads are designed to fit the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles that you need for your door. These are typically of a round or square shape with an internal lever as well as an external push pad.

The majority of UPVC Lever Pads we offer are spring-loaded. This means that they can be reverted to a horizontal position after not being used instead of hanging, and possibly sticking in the frame. This keeps draughts out of the property. The majority of UPVC lever pad handles come in both left and right handed versions which allows them to be installed on either side of doors.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are typically found on uPVC doors, but they can also be used on other types of door. They work by using a key to unlock a cylinder that then reveals pins which can be aligned to those in the lock body and allow them to rotate a revolving cam, thus opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins with external and internal doors generally needing different levels of security.

The selection of a cylinder is crucial. It is based on the use that your doors and handles will receive. For example, external doors should be fitted with a higher security cylinder, while doors inside can be secured with the standard cylinder. Certain cylinders come with extra features that increase security, such as anti-drill or anti bump properties.

To ensure 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 other end of the cylinder, including the thumb turn if you have one. It is recommended to do this with the lock in place however when this isn't possible, you can take it off to measure. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon could be susceptible to attacks like snapping locks, therefore it is essential that it's not too long.

The design of most newer cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease the chance of a attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This can help deflect the attack and protect your doors.

Certain cylinders are constructed to withstand snapping. This is an increasingly common type of attack on cylinders where the break line inside the lock is smashed by a tool that is specially designed to break off the front of the cylinder and allow the door to be opened. This is a much faster and simpler method to gain access than a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the break-in which can delay insurance claims.

Spring Cassette

This spring cassette is found in the base plate of your door handle. It provides a sprung solution to return the multipoint lock handles to their original position after usage. The handles had no spring and would droop when the locking mechanism was removed. This simple component is the best solution to fix this problem. It also stops your door from getting stuck in either the open or closed position since they aren't easy to close manually.

These spring cassettes are specially made for use with sprung multipoint locks, they will not fit multipoint handles that are not sprung and you will need to have a hole specifically cut in the backplate to allow them to fit (please check the image for a technical diagram). These cassettes are a solution for damaged or missing cassettes that are in the backplate of uPVC door handles for patio doors. They are supplied in a single unit. They come with a square cut out that is able to accommodate an 8mm shaft.
