Replacement UPVC Door Handles Whether you're replacing your handles or adding a little extra security you can find the right handle for your door. Upvc handles are simple to install and conform to the required 92mm centres for multipoint locks. The backplate's fixing centre as well as the dimensions of the lever/keyhole are the most important measurements. Compare these measurements with your existing measurements prior to making a purchase. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles for doors consist of a 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 be fitted to multipoint split spindle door locks. Once you have chosen the correct handle for the doors the available finishes will be shown in the drop-down list. Not all styles of handles are available in every finish though and it is recommended to check the sizes and technical drawings for the particular product you're looking for to ensure that you get the correct size and fitting. When choosing the new set of lever pad door handles made of Upvc it is essential to ensure that they match the PZ (distance between the handle spindle and the center of the hole in the cylinder) of your existing multipoint door locks, as these need to be in line for the doors to remain locked, whether from the inside or the outside. The handles we offer are designed to work with most conventional cylinder locks, however it is advisable to double-check before making a purchase. You will need to remove your existing handles and dismantle the lock case if upgrading to dual spindle handle levers as this will require a split cylinder inline. These are available separately and we have an entire technical diagram that you can take a look at in the pictures for each product. It is recommended to loosen the screws that hold your door handle, and then check the mechanism. If the screws aren't tight enough, you may need to loosen them more. Then you can remove the spindle from the handle and replace it with a new Upvc handle. Before putting the handle in place it is recommended to make sure it is in the correct place. You can do this by inserting your finger into the gap between the frame of the door and the handle to make sure that it is level. Lever/Lever The lever door handles are used to operate a multi-point lock that uses a Euro cylinder. They can be located on many double upvc doors as well as aluminium and wooden doors. They are available in two varieties, with an interior lever and a paddle outside. Sprung – they have a spring cassette fitted within the backplate to help bring the handle lever into an upright position. Non-sprung: These do NOT include a mechanism that can spring the handle lever to a horizontal angle. To repair a sagging door handle lever, you'll need to find the hole or pin that is the detent access point. It's typically small, protruding ring or rectangular located on the handle base plate. Once you have located it, loosen the set screw using a screwdriver and take it off to allow the lever, allowing it to return to the horizontal position. Once the handle is placed horizontally, you can reinstall the screws. Tighten them to ensure that the handle remains firmly fixed to the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the threads of screws to increase grip and stop them from loosing over time. There are a variety of reasons that door handles for levers droop. The most frequent cause is that the fixings are too tight and the lever bearing to bind against the door. It could also be that the levers haven't been operated at a right angle, which compresses the latch mechanism and stops it from fully springing into motion. The most common reason for spring levers that are not functioning correctly is the spring not being in the correct position on the backplate. The most effective way to determine this is to move the handle and see whether it changes to the horizontal position. If your door handles are loose it is essential to spot the issue fast, as this could lead to excessive wear on the screws, and even to the handle falling off the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten loose screws frequently to prevent them from becoming looser. Lever/Snib These upvc handles are called 'Snib handle sets' and come with the snib lock button on the top of the door lever. If you don't have a dummy locking device, you can use this device to lock the door. They are typically fitted 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 door handles with 68PZ from brands like Ferco and Fab & Fix. You can upgrade your home by changing your door handles, whether you are replacing your existing handles or installing new ones on doors that you have constructed. There are various styles available for upvc door handle s, including the classic lever on backplate. Other choices include straight or curved short latches, as well as Dummy knobs for multi-point locks. These are great for French doors. Rose door handles are circular or oval-shaped versions of lever on backplate handles. These kinds of door handles have a lever or knob on a backplate, which sits behind the knob or lever and is sometimes referred to as a rosette, although certain back plates can be removed to allow for concealed fixing. There is a variety of chrome and colored finishes available for these handles to match your door and other hardware, like hinges, knobs and bolts. Some handles come with grub screw to attach the lever or knob firmly to the spindle. Other handles come with bathroom spindles that can be used to operate bathroom locks. They feature a thumbturn turn as well as a release mechanism, ideal for use on bathroom doors. Mortise If your uPVC front door handle is stuck in the open position, the reason is most likely to be related to the tubular latch. There may be a few things that can cause this, the first being a simple lack of lubrication on the latch plate. It is possible to fix this problem by opening the door and spraying lubricant on the handle and locking. It could also be that the latch is loose from the backplate. This is a more difficult issue that requires the help of the assistance of a specialist. A multipoint handle is the ideal solution for stuck door handles. The handles are positioned through the faceplate and operated by a key or thumb turn knob that triggers the cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles are available in various sizes to fit various kinds of uPVC door and in various attractive finishes that match existing hardware. These handles can be purchased via the internet or at a local locksmith. They are simple to install and come with clear instructions. You will need to know your PZ size of your cylinder in order to select the appropriate replacement handle set. This is the distance in millimetres between the inner edge of the door frame and the centre of the handle hole. You'll also require the type of lock on your door, regardless of whether it's a mortise lock or a hook lock. Once you have these measurements, the easiest way to find the correct handles is to use the filter by brand option on the website. This will narrow down the options, and you will then choose the right size from the list. A typical handle set comprises the handle unit comprising two screws of different lengths, drill guides, and installation instructions.
