Replacement UPVC Door Handles If you're replacing the handles or adding a little extra security you can find the right handle for your door. These handles made of upvc are easy to install and have the minimum 92mm central distance for multipoint locks. The most important measurements to take into consideration are the backplate fixing centers and key hole dimensions and levers. Make sure you compare these to your existing measurements prior to placing an order. Lever/Pad Lever pad door handles are made up of the lever handle on one side and a paddle shaped handle on the other. They are designed to be used with key wind locks, however, they can also be used to split spindle multipoint door locks (though you will need an additional dual spindle lock case). Our range of upvc handles lever pads are available in a range of finishes. They will be listed in the drop down list once you have found the perfect handle for your doors. Not all styles of handles are available in every finish though and you should always look over the sizes and technical drawings for the specific product you are looking to ensure that you get the correct size and fit. When you are choosing a new set of lever pad door handles made of upvc, it is crucial to make sure that they correspond to the PZ (distance between the handle spindle and the centre of the cylinder hole) of your existing multipoint locks, since they have to be in line for the doors to remain locked, either from the inside or outside. Our handles are designed to fit the majority of conventional cylinders, but it is important to double-check before ordering. You'll need to take off your existing handles and dismantle the lock case if you are upgrading to dual spindle levers for your handle since this will require an additional split cylinder inline. They can be purchased separately and we offer an entire technical diagram for you to take a look at in the pictures for each product. After you have removed the screws holding your existing door handle it is a good idea to loosen them and examine the mechanism to determine what condition it is in. If the screws aren't loose enough then you might need to loosen them further. Then, you can remove the spindle from the door handle and replace it with a new Upvc handle. Before you screw the handle into place it is recommended to check that it is in the correct position. You can do this by putting your finger into the space between the door frame and the handle to ensure that it is level. Lever/Lever Lever door handles operate a multi point lock using an Euro cylinder. They can be found on a majority of double doors made of upvc, aluminum doors, and some wooden doors. They have a lever on the inside and a paddle on the outside and are typically available in two types. Sprung – they include a spring cassette within the backplate that helps bring the handle lever into an upright position. Non-sprung – These do not have a spring mechanism, and must be manually pulled to bring the handle lever back to its horizontal position. To fix a sagging lever door handle, you will need to locate the detent access hole or pin, which is usually an elongated or rectangular shaped hole or protruding pin located on one side of the base plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you are able to remove it using the help of a screwdriver. When the handle is in a horizontal position, you can re-install the screws and tighten them so that the handle stays secured to the base plate. Consider applying a threadlocking product to the screw threads in order to improve grip and prevent the threads from becoming loose over time. Drooping lever handles on door handles can be caused by many factors. The most common reason is that the fixings are too tight and the lever bearing to pull up against the door. It could also be due to the fact that the levers aren't operated at a straight angle and this is causing the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing back into service. Another common reason is that the sprung lever isn't operating correctly and this is typically due to the sprung not being in the proper position within the backplate. To check whether the handle has returned to horizontal, simply operate it. If your door handles are loose, it is crucial to find the problem quickly, as it could cause excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten loose screws frequently to stop them from becoming looser. Lever/Snib The handles for doors made of upvc are also referred to as handle sets with a 'Snib' and feature a snib button towards the top of the lever that you can push down to lock your door in the event that you don't have the fake lock. They are typically fitted with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle's center and lever or the lock centre) door lock. We also have a range of other door handles with 68PZ from manufacturers like Ferco and Fab & Fix. You can upgrade your home by changing the handles on your doors regardless of whether you're replacing existing handles or installing new ones on doors that you've built. There are a variety of styles available for upvc door handles , including the traditional levers on backplates. Other options include straight or curly short latches, and Dummy knobs for multi-point locks. These are perfect for French doors. Lever on backplate handles are typically rectangular, but there are also oval or circular versions that are referred to as rose door handles. These handles for doors are identified by a lever or knob that is mounted on the backplate. The backplate can be removed for concealed fixing. These handles are available in a variety of finishes, including coloured and chrome finishes to match your door and other hardware such as knobs, hinges, and bolts. Some handles come with screws that grub the lever or knob firmly to the spindle. Some handles are equipped with bathroom spindles that can be used to make bathroom locks. They also come with a thumbturn release mechanism, and can be used on bathroom doors. Mortise The tubular latch is most likely to be the culprit when your door handle made of uPVC is slammed shut. There may be a few things that can cause this, the most common being the simple lack of lubrication on the latch plate. It is possible to solve this problem by opening the door, spraying lubricant onto the lock and handle. Alternatively, it could be that the latch plate has become dislodged from the backplate. This is a more complicated issue that requires the help of an expert. A multipoint handle is the ideal solution for stuck door handles. These handles mount through the faceplate of the door and are operated with an actuated thumb turn knob or key that triggers an electronic cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles are available in a range of sizes that will fit various types of uPVC doors. They also come in a variety of attractive finishes that match the hardware you already have. These handles can be purchased via the internet or at an authorized locksmith in your area. They are easy to install and come with clear instructions. To choose a replacement handle set, you will be required to be aware of the PZ size of your cylinder.
