UPVC Replacement Door Handles Over time the handles on your doors will wear out and will require replacement. It is important to keep the same dimensions as the handles you have previously replaced when replacing them. The three measurements you need to examine are the top screw's position, lever and key hole sizes. Use the size guide to help with this. Inline Lever/Lever A lever or lever door handle is a contemporary handle that can be used on new or replacement doors. This style of door handle is available in a wide range of designs and finishes. A number of manufacturers make this handle including Avocet, ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale. Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle The uPVC/Composite door handles are made of robust materials and are perfect for multi point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline and they utilize the same screws and spindle to fix them. They are easily fitted on new or existing uPVC/Composite door. The handle can be placed and angled to accommodate all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles, which allows for the assurance of the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to fit a broad range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is located further back. A shortened lever is also an excellent option for doors where the latch could be activated by the thumb turn on the inside. Lever Pad The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles used on the majority of doors. These handle types can either operate from a single spindle (inline) or independently from both sides using two inline or offset spindles (pad). They are typically utilized on UPVC doors with double glazing and come in a variety of finishes and variations. The handles are available in a variety of finishes, including White Chrome and Gold. The finish is compliant with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, giving the handle a high degree of durability and performance for the intended use. All UPVC handle lever pads include a spindle and screws and can be mounted on the uPVC door. The backplate fixation centers of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is usually an advantage when replacing an old or faulty multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers come with springs, which can solve the problem of door handles that sag out of horizontal position when not in use. It is important to match the PZ dimensions of both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when choosing the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement may also be referred to as 'handle centres' or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the correct handles. After you have determined the proper PZ size, you will need to make sure that the push and lever pads are designed to fit the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles that you need for your door. 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, meaning that they will return to their horizontal position when not being used, instead of hanging out and potentially sticking in the frame. This helps prevent the draughts and cold air from entering a home. The majority of UPVC lever pad handles come in both left and right handed models which allows them to be installed on either side of doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other kinds of doors. They operate by using a key that unlock a cylinder case that then reveals pins which can be aligned with the pins in the lock body, allowing them to turn a revolving cam, thus opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins. upvc replacement door handles repairmywindowsanddoors that are internal and external require different levels of security. The choice of cylinder is crucial. It is based on the use that your doors and handles receive. For instance, exterior doors should be fitted with a more secure cylinder whilst internal doors can be secured with the standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders come with additional features that increase security further, such as anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics. A euro cylinder needs to be properly measured to ensure it's 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 recommended to do this while the lock is in place however if this is not feasible, you can take it off and take it off to measure. It is crucial to avoid having a extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon. This can make it vulnerable to snapping lock attacks. The design of most newer cylinders has anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease the chance of attack by forcing cylinders to rotate in a new direction. This can to deflect attacks and keep your door safe. There are also cylinders that have been made to withstand snapping. This is a growing method of attack on cylinders where the break line in the lock is targeted using a special tool to snap off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to open. This is much quicker and more straightforward than gaining access through multipoint locks and leaves little evidence of a break-in which can impede the insurance claim. Spring Cassette The spring cassette is positioned within the base of your door handle backplate, providing a spring solution to return the multipoint lock handles back to their normal position after usage. There was a time when handles of this kind did not have a spring built into them, and without it they can droop or 'drop' once the locking mechanism has been disengaged. This simple component is the most effective way to fix this problem. It also helps prevent your door from getting stuck in either the open or closed position since they are difficult to close manually. These spring cassettes are specifically designed for use with multipoint locks sprung, they will not fit multipoint handles that are not sprung and you will require a custom hole cut into your backplate to allow these to fit (please check the image for a technical diagram). They are a replacement for broken or missing cassettes within the backplate of the door handle for many brands of uPVC doors. They are sold as one unit. They come with a square cut out that can accommodate an 8mm shaft. These spring cassettes offer an excellent value solution to the issue of sagging door handles. They are simple to install and will extend the life of your uPVC door. For more information on our range of uPVC spares and accessories contact us today. in touch with our team.
