Replacement UPVC Door Handles Whether you're replacing your handles or adding a little extra security, you'll choose the perfect handle for your door. Upvc handles are simple to install and meet the required 92mm centres for multipoint locks. The backplate fixing center and the dimensions of the lever/keyhole are the most important measurements. Check these measurements against your existing marks carefully before making a purchase. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles for doors consist of the lever handle on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the other. They are designed to work with key wind locks, however, they can also be used to split spindle multipoint door locks (though you'll require an additional dual spindle lock case). Our selection of upvc handle lever pads are available in a wide range of finishes. These will be shown in the drop-down list after you have identified the right handle for your doors. Certain styles of handles are not available in all finishes. You should always check the technical drawing and dimensions sections for the particular product you are looking for to ensure that you get the right fit and size. It is important that when choosing a new set of Upvc lever pad handles, they are in line with the PZ (distance from the handle spindle to the centre of the hole in the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because they need to be aligned in order so that the doors remain locked, whether you are looking from the outside or inside. The handles we sell are designed to work with the majority of standard cylinder locks, but you should always double-check before ordering. You will need to remove your existing handles and dismantle the lock case if you are upgrading to dual spindle handle levers as this will require an additional split cylinder inline. They can be purchased separately, and we provide an entire technical diagram to take a look at in the pictures for each product. Once you have removed the screws that are holding the door handle you have, it is an ideal idea to loosen them, and then inspect the mechanism to see the condition it is in. If the screws aren't loose enough, you may need to loosen them more. Then you can remove the spindle from the handle and replace it with your new upvc handle. Before screwing the handle into place it is a good idea to ensure that it is in the proper place. You can do this by placing your finger into the space between the door frame and the handle to ensure that it is in a level position. Lever/Lever Lever door handles are a multi point lock using an Euro cylinder. They can be found on a majority of upvc double doors, aluminium doors and a few wooden doors. They are equipped with a lever on the inside and an outside paddle and are typically available in two different types. Sprung – they come with a spring cassette within the backplate to help bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. Non-sprung – they do not include a spring mechanism and will need to be manually pulled to bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. To fix the door handle of a lever that is sagging you must locate the detent access hole or pin, which is usually an elongated or rectangular with a protruding hole situated on one side of the handle base plate. Once located you can loosen the set screw with the help of a screwdriver, and then remove it to release the lever to return to its horizontal position. When the handle is in a horizontal orientation, you can re-install the screws and tighten them until the handle stays fixed to the base plate. You should also consider applying a threadlocking adhesive solution to the threads of the screw to increase the grip and stop them from loosening over time. There are a variety of reasons why door handles of levers drop. The most common reason is that the fixings are over tightened and are putting strain on the lever bearing causing it to bind against the door's surface. It is also possible that the levers may not have been adjusted at the right angle, which stretches the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing into operation. Another common reason is that the sprung lever isn't functioning properly and this is usually due to the spring not being in the right position within the backplate. The most effective way to determine this is to turn the handle to see whether it returns to the horizontal position. It is important to repair any door handles that are loose as soon as possible. This can cause excessive wear on the screws and the handle might be able to fall off 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 upvc door handles are also known as 'Snib' handles and feature a snib button on the top of the lever that can be pressed down to lock your door in the event that you don't use an fake lock. They usually come with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle's centre and the lever or the lock centre) door lock. We also have a selection of 68PZ door handle from brands like Ferco and Fab & Fix.
