UPVC Replacement Door Handles

The handles on your doors get worn out over time and will need to be replaced. When doing this it is essential that the new handles match the exact dimensions of the handle that was previously used.

The top screw's position, the lever and the keyhole size are the three measurements that you need to determine. Use the size guide to help with this.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever handle or lever is a contemporary door handle designed to suit new or replacement doors. This style 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 handles of upvc door locks and handles/Composite are constructed of tough materials and are ideal for doors with multiple points that require a robust design. The handles are inline and operate from the same spindle and screw fixings so they can be easily fitted to doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old.

The handle can be placed and angled to suit all users. The handle has been tested to 200 000 cycles. This ensures that the finish is of high quality and performance is maintained over time. The sprung lever is also adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames, in which the cylinder is further back. A shorter lever is an excellent option for doors that have latches that can be activated by the thumb turn on the inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently to the lever type handles on doors. These handles are operated by a single spindle or by two spindles, inline or offset. They are usually used on UPVC double glazing handle 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 is resistant to rust. This gives the handle an outstanding performance and durability for its intended use.

All UPVC lever pads for handles include a spindle and screws, and can be fitted on the uPVC door. The backplate fixing centres of 211mm allow for a larger size of handle which can be beneficial in replacing a defective or worn multi-point door lock mechanism. These handle levers have a spring, which solves the issue of door handles that move out of the horizontal position when not in use.

When selecting a replacement UPVC handle and spindle it is essential to match the PZ dimensions of the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement may also be called 'handle centres' or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the right handles.

Once you have the correct PZ size you will then need to ensure that the lever pads and push pads are of a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handles that you require for your doors. These are typically rectangular or round in shape, with an internal lever and external push pad.

The majority of UPVC lever pads that we sell are sprung, meaning that they will return to their horizontal position when not being used, instead of hanging out and potentially sticking in the frame. This prevents draughts from entering the property. The majority of UPVC lever pad style handles are available in left and right handed models, allowing them to be installed on either side of doors.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are usually found on uPVC doors, but they can also be found on other types of doors. They operate by using a key to unlock a cylinder that is then revealed with pins that can be aligned with the pins inside the lock body, permitting them to turn an revolving cam, 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 you choose is vital. It's dependent on the type of use your doors and handles will receive. External doors, for instance should be equipped with cylinders that are more secure, whereas internal doors can be secured with the standard cylinder. Certain cylinders come with extra features that can improve security, such as anti-drill or anti bump properties.

To ensure that the euro cylinder is the correct size for your door, it must be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to the end of the cylinder including the thumb turn if you have one. It is best to do this with the lock in place however when this isn't feasible, you can take it off and remove it to take measurements. It is essential to not have a extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to snapping lock attacks.

The design of most newer cylinders has anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease the chance of attack by forcing cylinders to turn in a new direction. This helps stop the attack and keep your doors safe.

There are cylinders that are constructed to withstand snapping. This is a common occurrence on cylinders. A special tool is used to break the lock's break line and the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a lot faster and more straightforward than opening the door with multipoint locks and leaves little evidence of a break-in, which can hinder the insurance claim.

Spring Cassette

The spring cassette is located inside the base of your door handle's backplate, providing a spring solution that returns your multipoint lock handles to their normal position after usage. The handles were previously equipped with no spring and would drop when the window locking handles mechanism was disconnected. Adding this simple component is among the most effective ways to fix this issue and is a great way to prevent your doors made of upvc from getting stuck in an open or closed position, as these aren't always simple to manually close by hand.

These spring cassettes are specially designed to be used with multipoint locks sprung but they won't work with multipoint handles that are not sprung 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). They are a replacement for existing broken or missing cassettes in the backplates of door handles of numerous kinds of uPVC doors. They are sold as one unit. They feature a square cut out that can accommodate an 8mm shaft.

These spring cassettes are a great value solution to the problem of door handles that have become sagging. These spring cassettes are easy to install and will increase the lifespan of your uPVC door.
