UPVC Replacement Door Handles

As time passes the handles on your doors will get worn out and will require replacement. When replacing them, it is crucial that the new handles match the critical dimensions of the handle that was previously used.

The three measurements to be inspected are the top screw's location, lever and key hole dimensions. Check the size guide for assistance with this.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever handle or lever is a contemporary door handle designed to suit new or replacement doors. This type of handle is available in many designs and finishes. A number of manufacturers offer this handle, including Avocet ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale.

Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle

The upvc door handle/Composite handles are made of tough materials and are ideal for multi-point lock doors that need a heavy-duty design. The handles are inline and they use the same spindle and screws to secure them. They can be easily installed 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 endurance-tested to 200 000 cycles. This helps ensure that the quality of finish and performance is maintained over time. The lever that is sprung can be reduced to accommodate the widest range of locks. This is especially useful for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is further back. A shorter lever is an ideal choice for doors where the latch can be opened by a thumb turn on the inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc functions differently to the lever type handles on doors. The handle can operate from a single spindle (inline) or independently from both sides using two offset spindles or inline (pad). They are usually utilized on UPVC doors with double glazed door handles glazing. They come in a range of finishes & variations.

The handles have been tested to the minimum of 200k cycles and are available in several finishes, including White and Silver, as well as Chrome & Gold. The finish meets BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, giving the handle a high degree of durability and performance for its intended use.

All UPVC handle lever pads come with a spindle, screws and can be installed on a uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm allow for a wider handle, which is typically beneficial 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 the horizontal position when not in use.

When choosing a replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is crucial to match the PZ dimensions of the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement can also be called 'handle centre or cylinder centre'. It is important for matching the correct handles.

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

The majority of UPVC lever pads we offer are sprung, which means that they will return to their horizontal position when they are not in use, instead of hanging out and possibly securing in the frame. This prevents draughts from entering the home. 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 the doors.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are usually used on uPVC doors, but can also be used on other types of doors. Cylinder locks are operated by using a key that unlocks the cylinder's casing. This reveals pins that can be aligned with those in the lock and allow them to turn the camera that rotates, opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins, with internal and external doors generally needing different levels of security.

The selection of a cylinder is crucial. It's dependent on the type of use your doors and handles will receive. For example, external doors require a higher security cylinder, while internal doors can be secured with the standard cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that can improve security, for instance, anti-drill or anti-bump properties.

A euro cylinder needs to be properly measured to ensure it is the right size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the hole in the center of the fixing screw to each end of the cylinder, including the thumb turn if you have one. It is best to do this while the lock is in place however when this isn't possible, you may remove it to measure. It is important to not have a cylindrical lock that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This can make it vulnerable to snapping lock attacks.

The majority of modern cylinders have been made with bump and anti-drill features included in their design. They are designed to decrease the chance of a attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in a different direction. This can help prevent attacks and protect your doors.

There are also cylinders that have been designed to resist snapping. This is a typical attack on cylinders. A specially designed tool is used to break the lock's break line and then the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a lot faster and more straightforward than opening multipoint locks. It also leaves little evidence of a break-in which can impede the insurance claim.
