As time passes the handles on your doors will get worn out and require replacement. It is crucial to match the dimensions of the old upvc door handles handles when replacing them.

The three measurements to be inspected are the top screw's location as well as the key hole and lever dimensions. Use the size guide to assistance with this.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever handle or lever is a modern door handle designed to suit new or replacement doors. This kind door handle is offered in a variety of designs and finishes. A number of manufacturers offer this type of handle, including Avocet ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale.

Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle

The handles made of uPVC/Composite are made of tough materials and are ideal for doors with multiple points that require a robust design. The handles are inline and work off the same spindle and screw fixings so they are easily installed on existing or new uPVC/Composite doors.

The sprung lever design allows the handle to be positioned and angled to ensure a comfortable experience and is suitable for all users. The handle has been endurance tested to 200,000 cycles, this allows for the assurance of the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for narrower door frames where the cylinder is located further back. A lever that is shorter can be used on doors with a latch that can be opened by the thumb on the inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles commonly found on doors. These handles are operated by one spindle or two spindles, either inline or offset. They are commonly used on UPVC doors with double glazing. They are available in a variety of finishes and variations.

The handles are available in various finishes, including White, Chrome and Gold. The finish is in line with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, which gives the handle a high level of durability and performance for the intended use.

All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles come with screws and a spindle which allow them to be fitted on a new or existing uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm allow for a wider handle, which is typically a benefit when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. These handle levers are also spring-loaded, thereby solving the issue of handles that slide out of the horizontal position when they are not in use.

When selecting 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 to match the correct handles.

Once you have decided on the correct size of PZ, you will need to make sure that the lever and push pads are shaped to fit the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. They typically have a square or round shape, with an internal lever and an external push pad.

Most of the UPVC lever pads that we sell are sprung, meaning that they return to their horizontal position after not in use, instead of hanging out and potentially sticking in the frame. This keeps draughts out of the property. The majority of UPVC lever pad style handles come in both left and right handed versions, allowing them to be installed on either side of doors.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are usually used on uPVC bi-fold doors handles, but they can be utilized on other types of doors. They work by using a key to unlock a cylinder case which will reveal pins that can be aligned with the pins in the lock body, allow them to rotate a revolving cam, thus opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with internal and external doors usually requiring different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder is essential. It is based on the type of use your doors and handles will receive. External doors, for example are required to be fitted with cylinders with greater security, whereas internal doors can be secured with the standard cylinder. In addition, some cylinders have extra features which can enhance security even more, like anti-drill or anti-bump features.

A euro cylinder should be measured correctly to ensure it's the right size for your door. The cylinder must be measured from the screw hole at the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, should there be one. If you are unable measure it with the lock in position, you can take it out of it. It is important to ensure that there is no cylindrical lock that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks.

The design of most newer cylinders has anti-drilling and bump resistance features. These features are designed to minimize the risk of attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in an opposite direction. This helps prevent attacks and keep your doors safe.

Certain cylinders are made to withstand snapping. This is a common attack on cylinders. A special tool is used to break the break line of the lock and the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is faster and more straightforward than opening the door with multipoint locks. It also leaves no evidence of a break-in, which can impede an insurance claim.

Spring Cassette

The spring cassette is positioned in the base of your door handle backplate, supplying a spring-loaded solution that returns your multipoint lock handles to their rest position after use. In the past, a lot of handles of this kind did not have a spring built into them and without this they tend to droop or drop when the locking mechanism has been disengaged. This component is the best solution to solve this issue. It also prevents your door from getting stuck in either the closed or open position as they aren't easy to close manually.

These spring cassettes are specially designed to be used with multipoint locks sprung but they won't work with unsprung multipoint handles and you must have a hole specifically cut in your backplate in order for them to fit (please look at the image for a technical diagram). They are a replacement for damaged or missing cassettes inside the backplates of door window handles replacement of many kinds of uPVC doors. They are available as one unit. They have a square-cut out that is able to accommodate an 8mm shaft.
