UPVC Replacement Door Handles

As time passes, the handles on your doors will get worn out and require replacement. It is crucial to match the dimensions of the handles that were previously used when replacing them.

The top screw's position the lever, and the keyhole sizes are the three measurements you need to verify. Use the size guide to help you.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever handle is a modern door handle designed to work with new or replacement doors. This kind of handle is available in many designs and finishes. This handle is offered by several manufacturers 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 doors with multi-point locks that require a heavy duty design. The handles are inline and operate with the same spindle as well as screw fixings, so they can be easily incorporated into doors made of uPVC/composite door handles, either new or old.

The design of the sprung lever allows the handle to be set and angled for comfortable operation and is suitable for all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles. This helps to ensure the quality of the finish and the performance of the handle over time. The lever that is sprung can be cut to fit a wider range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for narrower door frames where the cylinder is located further back. A lever that is shorter can be used on doors that have a latch that can be opened by the thumb inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc functions differently than lever handles found on most doors. These handle types can either operate from a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two offset spindles or inline (pad). They are usually used on UPVC double-glazed doors and come in a variety of styles and styles.

The handles have been tested to the minimum of 200 000 cycles and are available in a variety of finishes including White, Silver, Chrome & Gold. The finish meets BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, thereby giving the handle a high level of durability and performance for the intended use.

All UPVC handle lever pads come with a spindle, screws and can be mounted on the uPVC door. The backplate fixation centers of 211mm allow for a wider handle, which is usually an advantage when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. The levers for these handles have springs, which can solve the problem of door handles that move out of the horizontal position when they are not being used.

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

After you have determined the proper PZ size and the correct PZ size, you must ensure that the push and lever pads are shaped to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles that you need for your door. They are usually a square or round shape, with an internal lever as well as an external push pad.

The majority of UPVC Lever Pads we sell are sprung. This means they can be reverted to a horizontal state when not being used instead of hanging, and possibly being stuck in the frame. This prevents drafts and cold air from entering a property. The majority of UPVC lever pad style handles are available in left and right handed versions that allow them to be installed on either side of the doors.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are usually used on uPVC doors, but they can also be used on other types of doors. Cylinder locks are operated with a key that unlocks the cylinder's casing. This reveals pins that can be aligned with those inside the lock, allowing them to rotate the revolving camera, opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins, with external and internal doors generally needing different levels of security.

The selection of a cylinder is vital. It's dependent on the amount of use your doors and handles will receive. For instance, exterior doors require an extra secure cylinder, while internal doors can be secured with the standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders have extra features that increase security even more, like anti-drill or anti-bump features.

A euro cylinder must be measured correctly to ensure it's the correct size for your door. The cylinder must be measured from the screw hole at the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, should there be one. It is best to do this while the lock is in place however, when this isn't possible, you can remove it to measure. A cylinder that extends beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks such as snapping locks, therefore it is important that it is not too long.

The majority of modern cylinders have been constructed with bump and anti-drill features built into their design. They are designed to decrease attacks by forcing cylinders to turn in a new direction. This can help to deflect an attack and keep your door safe.

There are cylinders that have been made to resist snapping. This is a common occurrence on cylinders. A specially designed tool is used to break the break line of the lock and the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a lot faster and more straightforward than gaining access through multipoint locks. It also leaves little evidence of a break-in, which could hinder an insurance claim.

Spring Cassette

This spring cassette is located inside the base plate of your door handle. It is a spring-loaded solution to bring your multipoint lock window handles to their normal position after use. The handles had no spring and would drop when the locking window handles mechanism was disconnected. This simple component is the best solution to solve this issue. It also helps prevent your door from getting stuck in the open or closed position as they are difficult to close manually.

These spring cassettes are specifically made for use with multipoint locks that are sprung, they will not fit non-sprung multipoint handles. You will require a bespoke hole cut into your backplate to allow these to fit (please see image for technical diagram). These cassettes are a replacement to broken or missing cassettes that are in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are sold as a single unit. They feature a square cut out that accommodates an 8mm shaft.

These spring cassettes offer an excellent value solution to the problem of sagging door handles. They are simple to install and can extend the life of your uPVC door.
