UPVC Replacement patio door handle locks Handles

Over time, the handles on your doors will wear down and require replacement. It is important to match the dimensions of the handles that were previously used when replacing them.

The three measurements you need to examine are the top screw's position as well as the key hole and lever dimensions. Use the size guide to help you.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever handle or lever is a contemporary door handle designed to suit new or replacement doors. This kind of handle is available in various designs and finishes. A variety of manufacturers provide this type of 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 sturdy materials and are ideal for multi point lock doors that require a strong design. The handles are inline and run from the same spindle and screw fixings. They can be easily fitted to new or existing uPVC/Composite doors.

The spring lever design 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, this will ensure the quality of the finish and performance of the handle over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to fit a broad range of locks. This is useful for doors with narrower openings where the cylinder is situated further back from the door. A shorter lever is a good choice for doors where the latch can be activated by the thumb turn inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently from lever-type handles on doors. These handles are operated by one spindle, or two spindles, inline or offset. They are typically employed on UPVC doors with double glazing. They come in a range of finishes & variations.

The window handles for wooden windows are available in various finishes, including White Chrome and Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and resistant to corrosion. This gives the handle a high performance and durability to serve its intended purpose.

All of the UPVC lever pad designs are supplied with the spindle and screws, allowing them to be installed on any new or existing uPVC door. The 211mm backplate fixation centres allow for a bigger handle, which is usually beneficial when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers come with springs, which can solve the issue of handles for doors that slide out of 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 is also called the "handle centre" or "cylinder centres' and is a critical aspect in ensuring that you have the right handles.

After you have determined the correct size of PZ it is important to ensure that the lever and push pads are shaped to match 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 offer are spring-loaded. This means that they will return to a horizontal position after 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 style handles come in both left and right handed models that allow them to be placed on either side of the doors.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other types of doors. They work by using a key to unlock a cylinder case that is then revealed with pins that can be aligned to those in the lock body and allowing them to turn a revolving cam, thus opening the door. Euro Cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins, with internal and external doors typically needing different levels of security.

Selecting the right cylinder for your needs is essential; it depends on the way your doors and handle are used. For example, external doors must be secured with an extra secure cylinder, while doors inside can be secured using an ordinary cylinder. Certain cylinders come with extra features that can improve security, such as anti drill or anti bump properties.

To make sure that the euro cylinder is the right size for your door, it must be measured correctly. The cylinder should be measured from the screw hole in the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn in the event that one is present. If you are unable to measure with the lock in position, you can take it out of it. It is crucial to not have a cylindrical lock that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks.

The design of the latest cylinders comes with anti-drilling as well as bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease the chance of a attack by forcing the cylinder rotate in the opposite direction. This can to deflect an attack and keep your door safe.

Some cylinders are designed to resist snapping. This is an increasingly common type of attack on cylinders, where the break line in the lock is attacked by a tool that is specially designed to break off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to be opened. 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 burglary which can hinder insurance claims.

Spring Cassette

This spring cassette is found within the base plate of your door handle. It offers a spring-loaded solution to return your multipoint lock handles to their original position after usage. In the past, a lot of handles of this kind didn't have a spring built into them and without this they can droop or drop once the locking mechanism has been disengaged. This simple part is the most effective way to fix this problem. It also stops your door from getting stuck in either the closed or open position as they aren't easy to close manually.

These spring cassettes were created to be used with sprung multipoint locks. They won't work with unsprung handles and you'll need to cut a hole into the backplate to allow them to fit. (Please look at the image for a technical diagram). They are a replacement for existing broken or missing cassettes within the backplates of door handles of many kinds of uPVC doors. They are available as one unit. They have a square-cut out that can accommodate an 8mm shaft.

These spring cassettes are an excellent cost-effective way to fix the problem of handles on your doors sliding. They are simple to install and will extend the life of your uPVC door.
