The handle can be placed and angled to suit all users. The handle has been tested to 200 000 cycles. This helps to ensure that the quality of finish and performance over time. The sprung lever is also adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is particularly useful for doors with narrower openings where the cylinder is situated further back from the door. A lever that is shorter is an ideal choice for doors where the latch could be opened by a thumb turn on the inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad double glazed door handles handle made of upvc functions differently than lever handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handle types can either operate from a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side using two inline or offset spindles (pad). They are commonly employed on UPVC doors with double glazed windows handles glazing. They come in a range of finishes & 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 level of durability and performance for its intended use.

The 211mm backplate fixing centres permit a bigger size handle that is often a benefit when replacing a damaged or worn multi point door lock mechanism.

It is crucial to match up the dimensions of the PZ for both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when selecting a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is often called the "handle centre" or "cylinder centres' and is a critical aspect of matching up the right handles.

Once you have the correct PZ size, you'll have to ensure that the handle lever pads and push pads are a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compatible handles you require for your doors. They typically have rectangular or round in shape with an internal lever as well as an external push pad.

This helps prevent the draughts and cold air from entering a home. The majority of UPVC lever pad handles are available in left and right handed versions which allows them to be installed on either side of the doors.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks can be found on uPVC and other kinds of doors. Cylinder locks are operated by a key which unlocks the cylinder's casing. The case is then able to reveal pins that can be aligned with the pins in the lock, and permit them to rotate the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders are available with up to six pins. Doors that are internal and external require different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder is vital. It's dependent on the use that your doors and handles receive. External doors, for instance should be equipped with higher security cylinders and internal doors can be secured with the standard cylinder. Some cylinders have extra features that can increase security, such as anti-drill or anti bump properties.

A euro cylinder should be measured accurately to ensure it is the correct size for your patio door handle locks. The cylinder must 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. If you cannot measure using the lock in its position, you can take it out of it. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon might be vulnerable to attacks such as snapping locks, therefore it is important that it's not too long.

The design of most newer cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease attack chances by forcing the cylinders to rotate in a new direction. This can help deflect the attack and protect your doors.

Some cylinders are designed to withstand snapping. This is a growing method of attack on cylinders where the break line in the lock is attacked by a tool that is specially designed to snap off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to open. This is a faster and more convenient method of gaining access than using the use of a multipoint locking system. It also leaves no evidence of the break-in which can delay insurance claims.

Spring Cassette

The spring cassette is situated inside the base plate of your door handle. It provides a sprung solution to return the multipoint lock handles to their normal position after usage. These handles used to have no spring, and would slide when the locking mechanism was disconnected.
