UPVC replacement handles for upvc windows Door Handles

Over time the handles on your doors will wear down and need to be changed. When replacing them, it is crucial that the new handles match the critical dimensions of the previous handle.

The three measurements to check are the top screw position the lever and key hole dimensions. Use the size guide to assistance in this.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever door handle is a modern handle that can be put in on doors that are new or replacement. This kind of handle is available in many styles and finishes. This handle is available from several manufacturers including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale.

Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle

The door handles of uPVC/Composite are made of robust materials and are ideal for multi-point lock doors that require a strong design. The handles are inline, and they utilize the same screws and spindle to fix them. They can be easily installed on any uPVC/Composite door.

The handle can be positioned and angled to accommodate all users. The handle has been endurance tested to 200,000 cycles, this helps to ensure the quality of the finish and the performance of the handle over time. The lever that springs is 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 lever that is shorter can be used for doors with a latch that can be opened by the thumb on the inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently from lever-type handles found on most doors. These handle types are either operated by a single spindle or by two spindles, inline or offset. They are usually employed on UPVC double-glazed doors and are available in a variety of variations and styles.

The handles are available in a variety of finishes, including White Chrome, and Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and resistant to corrosion. This gives the handle an outstanding performance and durability to serve its intended purpose.

All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles are supplied with a spindle and screws which allow them to be put on a new or existing uPVC door. The backplate fixation centers of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is typically a benefit when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. These levers for window handles for wooden windows are also spring-loaded, thereby solving the issue of door handles sagging out of the horizontal position when they are not being used.

It is crucial to match up the dimensions of the PZ for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when selecting a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is also known as the 'Brompton Carry Handle centre' or 'cylinder centres' and is a critical aspect of matching up the correct handles.

Once you have the proper PZ size you will then have to ensure that the lever pads and push pads are a appropriate shape to accommodate the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compatible handles you require for your doors. They are typically square or round with an internal lever, and an external push pad.

The majority of UPVC lever pads we offer are sprung, which means that they return to their horizontal position when they are not being used, instead of hanging out and possibly securing in the frame. This keeps draughts out of the property. You will also find that the majority of UPVC handle lever pad style handles are handed which allows you to place them on either side of the door.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks can be found on uPVC and other types of doors. Cylinder locks are operated by using a key that unlocks the cylinder's casing. This reveals pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock and allow them to turn the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro Cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins, with external and internal doors usually requiring different levels of security.

Selecting the right cylinder for your needs is crucial; it is dependent on how your door and handle are used. External doors, for instance should be equipped with cylinders with greater security and doors inside can be secured with a standard cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that increase security, such as anti-drill or anti-bump properties.

A euro cylinder should be measured correctly to ensure that it is the correct size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the screw hole at the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn if there is one. It is recommended to do this with the lock in place however, when this isn't possible, you may remove it to take measurements. A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon could be vulnerable to attacks, such as snapping locks, therefore it is crucial that it is not too long.

Most newer cylinders have been constructed with bump and anti-drill features built into their design. They are designed to decrease the chances of an attack by forcing the cylinder rotate in the opposite direction. This can help to deflect attacks and ensure your door is secure.

Certain cylinders are made to resist snapping. This is a growing kind of attack on cylinders which is where the break line of the lock is attacked by a tool that is specially designed to break the front of the cylinder and allow the door to open. This is a much faster and more convenient method of gaining access than the use of a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the break-in which can make it difficult to prove insurance claims.

Spring Cassette

This spring cassette is located in the base plate of the door handle. It offers a spring-loaded solution to return your multipoint lock handles to their resting position after use. These handles for patio doors used to have no spring and would drop when the locking mechanism was disconnected. This simple component is the best way to solve this issue. It also stops your door from becoming stuck in the closed or open position as they are difficult to close manually.

The spring cassettes were made to be used with a spring multipoint lock. They won't work with unsprung handles and you'll need to cut a hole in the backplate to allow them to fit. (Please see the image for a more detailed diagram). They are a replacement for broken or missing cassettes in the door handle backplate of various brands of uPVC doors. They are available as a single unit. They have a square-cut out that is able to accommodate an 8mm shaft.

These spring cassettes are a fantastic value-for-money way to fix the problem of handles on your doors that are sagging. These spring cassettes are easy to install and will increase the life of your uPVC door.
