The Handles for Internal bifold doors are inline, and use the same screws and spindle to fix them. They are easily fitted on a new or existing uPVC/Composite doors.

The handle can be positioned and angled to accommodate any user. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles. This helps ensure that the finish is of high quality and performance over time. The sprung lever is also adjustable to fit a wide range of locks. This is useful for doors with narrower openings where the cylinder is further back in the door. A shorter lever can be used for doors with latches that can be activated with the thumb inside.

Lever Pad

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

The handles have been tested to at least 200 000 cycles and are available in various finishes like White, Silver, Chrome & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to rust.

The backplate fixing centers of 211mm allow for a wider size handle that can often be a benefit in replacing a defective or worn multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers are sprung, solving the problem of handles hanging out of the horizontal position when they are not being used.

It is essential to ensure that the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when choosing a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is also referred to as the 'handle centre' or 'cylinder centres and is an essential aspect of matching up the right handles for double glazed doors.

Once you have decided on the correct size of PZ and the correct PZ size, you must make sure that the push and lever pads are shaped to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. These are typically of a round or square shape with an internal lever and an external push pad.

The majority of UPVC Lever Pads we sell are spring-loaded. This means that they return to a horizontal position after they are not in use, rather than hanging and possibly being stuck in the frame. This prevents draughts from entering the home. You will also find that the majority of the UPVC lever pad handles are handed, allowing you to install them on either side of the door.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are usually used on uPVC doors, but they can also be used on other types of door. The cylinder lock is operated by a key which unlocks the cylinder's casing. The case is then able to reveal pins that can be aligned to the pins in the lock, allowing them to rotate the camera that rotates, opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder is essential. It's dependent on the type of use your doors and handles receive. Doors that are external, for instance are required to be fitted with higher security cylinders while internal doors can be secured using an ordinary cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders come with additional features which can enhance security, for instance anti-drill or anti-bump features.

A euro cylinder must be measured accurately to ensure it is the correct size for your door. The cylinder must be measured from the screw hole in the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, should there be one. If you cannot measure using the lock in a fixed 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 is not too long.

The design of many modern cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to minimize attacks by forcing cylinders to rotate in a different direction. This can help to deflect an attack and keep your door safe.

There are also cylinders that are constructed to resist snapping. This is an increasingly common kind of attack on cylinders where the break line inside the lock is targeted by a tool that is specially designed to break the front of the cylinder to allow the door to open. This is a much faster and more convenient method of gaining access than through a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the burglary which can delay insurance claims.

Spring Cassette

The spring cassette is located within the base of your door handle backplate, supplying a spring-loaded solution that returns your multipoint lock handles to their rest position after use. There was a time when these types of handle did not have a spring built into them and without this they tend to droop or 'drop' once the locking mechanism is removed. The addition of this simple element is one of the most effective ways to fix this and it is also an effective way to keep your doors made of upvc from becoming stuck in an open or closed position, as they are not always easy to close manually.

These spring cassettes have been specifically designed to be used with multipoint locks sprung, they will not fit unsprung multipoint handles and you must have a custom hole cut into your backplate in order for them to fit (please check the image for a technical diagram).
