UPVC Replacement Door Handles As time passes, the handles on your doors will wear down and require replacement. In this case, it is crucial that the new handles match the critical dimensions of the old handle. The top screw's position, the lever and the keyhole dimensions are the three measurements you have to verify. 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 kind of handle is available in various styles 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 constructed of durable materials and are suitable for multi point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline and operate from the same spindle and screw fixings so they can be easily incorporated into new or existing uPVC/Composite doors. The handle can be positioned and angled to fit any user. The handle has been tested to 200,000 cycles. This helps ensure that the finish is of high quality and performance will last for a long time. The sprung lever is also adjustable to fit a wide range of locks. This is especially useful for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is further back. A shorter lever can be used for doors with latches that can be opened by the thumb on the inside. Lever Pad A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc functions differently to the lever type handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handle types are either operated by one spindle, or two spindles inline or offset. They are typically used on UPVC doors with double glazing. They come in a variety of finishes and variations. The handles have been tested to at least 200,000 cycles and are available in a variety of finishes including White, Silver, Chrome & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to rust. This gives the handle the best performance and long-lasting durability for the purpose it was designed for. All UPVC lever pads for handles include a spindle and screws and can be mounted on the uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is often beneficial when replacing an old or faulty multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers come with a spring, which solves the problem of door handles that move out of the horizontal position when they are not being used. When choosing the replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is essential 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 an essential aspect in ensuring that you have the correct handles. When you have the right PZ size, you'll be required to make sure that the handle lever pads and push pads are a suitable shape to fit the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handles that you need for your doors. These are typically of a round or square shape, with an internal lever and external push pad. The majority of UPVC lever pads that we sell are sprung, meaning that they return to their horizontal position after not being used, instead of hanging out and possibly securing in the frame. This keeps draughts out of the property. upvc door handles of UPVC lever pad handles come in both left and right handed models which allows them to be placed on either side of the doors. Euro Cylinder Cylinder locks can be found on uPVC and other types of doors. They work with a key to unlock a cylinder case that is then revealed with pins that can be aligned with the pins in the lock body and permitting them to turn a revolving cam, thus opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. External and internal doors require different levels of security. The selection of a cylinder is vital. It is based on the type of use your doors and handles receive. External doors, for example, should be fitted with cylinders that are more secure and doors inside can be secured with the standard cylinder. In addition, some cylinders have extra features that increase security further, such as anti-drill or anti-bump properties. To make sure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it should be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the screw hole at the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn in the event that one is present. It is recommended to do this with the lock in place, but when this isn't feasible, you can take it off and remove it to measure. It is essential to not have a extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks. The design of the latest 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 to deflect an attack and keep your door safe. Certain cylinders are constructed to resist snapping. This is a more frequent method 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 and allow the door to be opened. This is much quicker and easier to achieve than gaining access through multipoint locks and leaves no evidence of a break-in which could hinder the insurance claim. Spring Cassette The spring cassette is located within the base of your door handle's backplate providing a sprung solution that returns your multipoint lock handles to their normal position after use. These handles used to have no spring and would drop when the locking mechanism was disconnected. This simple component is the most effective way to address this issue. It also stops your door from becoming stuck in the open or closed position since they aren't easy to close manually. These spring cassettes are specifically designed to be used with sprung multipoint locks, they will not fit unsprung multipoint handles and you will need to have a bespoke hole cut into your backplate in order for them to fit (please see image for technical diagram). These cassettes are a solution for damaged or missing cassettes on the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are supplied in one unit. They have a square-cut out that is able to accommodate an 8mm shaft. These spring cassettes offer an excellent value solution for the issue of sagging door handles. They are simple to install and will increase the life of your uPVC door. For more information on our wide range of uPVC accessories and spares, contact us today. in contact with our team.
