Replacement UPVC Door Handles Whether you're replacing your handles or need to add extra security you can find the right handle for your door. These handles made of upvc are easy to install and will meet the required 92mm central distance for multipoint locks. The most important measurements to consider are the backplate fixing centers and key hole dimensions and levers. Compare these measurements with your current marks before making a purchase. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles are made up of a lever on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the opposite. They are designed to be used with key wind locks. However, they can be fitted to multipoint split spindle door locks. Our range of upvc handles lever pads are available in a wide range of finishes. They will be shown in the drop-down menu once you have found the right handle for your door. Some styles of handles are not available in all finishes. It is recommended to examine the technical drawing and dimensions for the product you are looking for to ensure you get the correct size and fit. It is crucial that when selecting a new set upvc lever pad handles, they are in line with the PZ (distance from the spindle of the handle to the middle of the hole in the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because these are required to be aligned for the doors to stay locked, whether you are viewing them from the inside or from the outside. Our handles are designed to fit most standard cylinders, but it is always worth double-checking before purchasing. If you want to upgrade to dual spindle levers you'll need to take out the handles you have already installed and disassemble the lock case. This will require an additional split inline cylinder. These are available separately and we offer a full technical diagram that you can take a look at in the pictures for each product. Once you have removed the screws that hold the door handle you have, it is a good idea to loosen them and examine the mechanism to see what condition it is in. It is possible that you will need to loosen the screws a bit more in the event that they are not tight. After that, you can take off the old spindle and handle and replace it with a new door handle made of upvc. Before you screw the handle into position, it is recommended to ensure that it is in the proper place. You can do this by putting your finger into the gap between the door frame and the handle to make sure it is level. Lever/Lever The lever handles on doors are used to operate a multi-point lock that uses a Euro cylinder. They are found on many upvc double doors as well as some wooden and aluminium doors. They are equipped with a lever on the inside and a paddle on the outside and are typically available in two types. Sprung – these have a spring cassette fitted within the backplate that helps bring the handle lever into the horizontal position. Non-sprung: These do not include a mechanism that can spring the handle lever to a horizontal angle. To fix a door handle lever that is sagging it is necessary to locate the hole or detent access pin. It's typically an insignificant hole or protruding ring or rectangle that is located on the base of the handle plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you are able to take it out using a screwdriver. Once the handle is set horizontally, it is possible to install the screws. Tighten them to ensure that the handle stays connected to the base plate. Consider applying a threadlocking product to the threads of the screw to improve grip and prevent them from loosing over time. There are a myriad of reasons that door handles for levers slide. The most common cause is that the fixings are too tight, causing the lever bearing to get tangled up against the door. It could also be that the levers aren't operated in a straight line and this is causing the latch mechanism preventing it from fully springing back into service. A common cause of a sprung lever not working properly is that the spring is not being in the correct position on the backplate. To determine whether the handle is back to horizontal, simply move it. If your door handles are loose, it is crucial to find the issue fast, as this can lead to excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all screws that are loose regularly, as this will help to prevent them from loosening. Lever/Snib These handles made of upvc are called 'Snib handle sets' and come with a snib lock button at the top of the lever. If you do not have a dummy locking device you can use this device to secure the door. They usually come with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle's center and lever or lock centre) door lock. We also carry a selection of other door handles with 68PZ from manufacturers like Ferco and Fab & Fix. The replacement of your door handle is a cheap option to modernize your home, whether replacing handles that are in use or fitting new ones on doors that you've constructed in your home. There are many styles of door handles made of upvc, including traditional lever on backplates, straight or curved short latches, and knob handles with dummy handles for multi point locks which are ideal for French doors. Lever on backplate handles are typically rectangular, but you can also find oval or circular-shaped versions, which are known as rose door handles. These handles are identified by a lever or a knob that is mounted on a backplate. The backplate can be removed to allow for hidden fixing.

They also come with an release mechanism that turns the thumb and can be used on doors for bathrooms. Mortise The tubular latch is most likely to be the culprit when your door handle made of uPVC is stuck open. This can be caused by many things, but the most common is a lack of lubrication in the latch plate. It is possible to solve this problem by opening the door, spraying lubricant on the lock and handle. It could also be that the latch plate has been detached from the backplate. This can be a bit more complicated and requires a professional to fix. A multipoint handle system is the ideal solution to a stuck door handle. These handles mount through the door's faceplate and are operated with a thumb turn knob or key which activates an electronic cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles are available in a variety of different sizes to fit different types of uPVC doors. They are also available in an array of attractive finishes that match existing hardware. The handles can be purchased online or through an authorized locksmith in your area. They are easy to install with clear instructions. To select a replacement handle set, you'll be required to determine the PZ dimension of the cylinder. This is the measurement in millimetres between the inside edge of the frame of the door and the centre of the hole in the handle.
