UPVC Replacement Door Handles

The handles on your doors are worn out over time and will need to be replaced. It is crucial to keep the same dimensions as the handles you have previously replaced when replacing them.

The three measurements to be inspected are the top screw's position, lever and key hole sizes. Use the size guide to help you.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever or lever door handle is a contemporary handle that can be used on new or replacement upvc window handles doors. This style of handle is available in many styles and finishes. A variety of manufacturers provide this handle 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 multi-point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline and run from the same spindle and screw fixings so they can be easily fitted to existing or new upvc window locking handles/Composite doors.

The handle can be placed and angled to fit any user. The handle has been tested to 200 000 cycles. This helps to ensure that the quality of finish and performance will last for a long time. The lever that is sprung can be cut to fit a wider range of locks. This is especially useful for narrower door frames where the cylinder is located further back. A shorter lever can be used on doors with latches which can be operated with the thumb inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad upvc door handle operates differently than lever handles found on most doors. These handles are operated by a single spindle or by two spindles inline or offset. They are generally used on UPVC double glazed Door handles-glazed doors and come in a variety of styles and finishes.

The handles are available in various finishes, including White chrome and Gold. The finish meets BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, thereby giving the handle a high degree of durability and performance for the intended use.

All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles come with a spindle and screws that allow them to be fitted on any new or existing uPVC door. The backplate fixing centers of 211mm permit a bigger size of handle which is often a benefit when replacing a faulty or worn multi-point door lock mechanism. These levers for handles are also spring-loaded, which solves the issue of handles that slide from their horizontal position when they are not being used.

When choosing the replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is essential to match the PZ dimensions of both the multipoint lock and the uPVC door. This measurement is often referred to as the handle centre or 'cylinder centres which is a crucial aspect of matching up the correct handles.

After you have determined the correct size of PZ it is important to ensure that the push and lever pads are shaped to fit the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles that you need for your door. These are typically of a round or square design with an internal lever and an external push pad.

The majority of UPVC Lever Pads we sell are sprung. This means they will return to a horizontal position after not in use instead of hanging and possibly being stuck in the frame. This stops draughts and cold air from entering a home. Also, 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 commonly found on uPVC doors, but can be utilized on other types of door. Cylinder locks are operated with a key that unlocks the cylinder case. The case is then able to reveal pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock and allow them to rotate the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins, with internal and external doors typically needing different levels of security.

The selection of a cylinder is essential. It's dependent on the use that your doors and handles receive. External doors, for instance should be equipped with higher security cylinders while internal doors can be secured using the standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders are available with extra features that increase security even more, like anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics.

To make sure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it must be measured correctly. 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 recommended to do this while the lock is in place however, when this isn't possible, you can take it off to measure. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon might be susceptible to attacks like snapping locks, therefore it is crucial that it is not too long.

The design of most newer cylinders has anti-drilling and bump resistance features. These are designed to reduce the risk of attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This will help to deflect an attack and keep your door safe.

There are also cylinders that are designed to withstand snapping. This is a typical attack on cylinders. A special tool is used to break the break line of the lock, and then the front of cylinder is snapped off. This is a much faster and easier way to gain access than using a multipoint window locking handles system. It also leaves less evidence of the burglary which can make it difficult to prove insurance claims.

Spring Cassette

This spring cassette is found in the base plate of your door handle. It provides a sprung solution to help return your multipoint lock handles to their normal position after using. There was a time when handles for doors didn't have a spring built into them, and without it they tend to droop or 'drop' once the locking mechanism has been disengaged. This simple part is the best solution to address this issue. It also prevents your door from becoming stuck in the closed or open position as they are difficult to close manually.

These spring cassettes were designed to be used with sprung multipoint lock. They will not fit handles that aren't sprung, and you will have to cut a hole in the backplate to allow them to fit. (Please look at the image for a technical diagram). They are a replacement for existing broken or missing cassettes within the backplates of door handles of many brands of uPVC doors.
