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 most important measurements to take into consideration are backplate fixing centres and lever/key hole dimensions. Check these measurements against your existing measurements prior to placing an order. Lever/Pad Lever pad door handles consist of the lever handle on one side and a paddle shaped handle on the other. They are intended for use with key wind locks. However, they can be fitted to multipoint split spindle door locks. Once you have chosen the appropriate handle for the doors, the finishes will be listed in the drop-down list. Certain styles of handles are not available in all finishes. Always examine the technical drawing and dimensions for the item that you want to ensure you get the correct size and fit. It is crucial to ensure that when you choose the new set of upvc lever pad handles, they match the PZ (distance from the handle spindle to the center of the hole of the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because the handles are required to be aligned to ensure that doors stay locked, regardless of whether you are viewing them from the outside or inside. The handles we offer are designed to work with a variety of standard cylinder locks, however you should always double-check before ordering. You'll need to take off your handles that you have already installed and then dismantle the lock case if you're upgrading to dual spindle handle levers since this will require an additional split cylinder inline. You can purchase these separately. We have included a technical illustration in the images of each product. It is a good thing to loosen the screws holding your existing door handle and then inspect the mechanism. If the screws aren't loose enough then you might need to loosen them further. Then you can remove the spindle from the handle and replace it with a new Upvc handle. It is important to ensure that the handle is in the correct position prior to screwing it into place. You can do this by placing your finger between the frame and the handle, to ensure that it is level. Lever/Lever The lever door handles are used to operate a multi-point lock that uses a Euro cylinder. They are found on many upvc double doors, as well as on some wooden and aluminum doors. They are equipped with a lever on the inside and a paddle on the outside and are typically available in two types. Sprung – They have a spring cassette inside the backplate, which helps bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. Non-sprung – these do not have a spring mechanism, and will need to be manually pulled to bring the handle lever back to its horizontal position. To fix a door handle that is sagging you must find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is typically an elongated or rectangular shaped hole or protruding pin that is located on the opposite side of the handle base plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you can remove it using an screwdriver. After the handle is set horizontally, it is possible to put back the screws. Tighten them to ensure that the handle is securely connected 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. Drooping lever door handles can be caused by many factors. The most common cause is that the fixings are over tightened and are putting strain on the bearings of the lever, which causes it to become a bind on the door's face. It could also be that the levers are not being operated in a straight line and this is causing the latch mechanism preventing it from fully springing back into operation. Another common cause is that the sprung lever is not functioning properly and this is typically due to the spring not being in the right position within the backplate. The simplest way to check this is to move the handle to check whether it returns to its horizontal position. If your door handles are loose, it is essential to spot the issue fast, as it could cause excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten any loose screws regularly to stop them from becoming looser. Lever/Snib These handles made of upvc are also known as 'Snib' handles and have a snib lever at the top of the lever that can be pressed down to lock your door if you don't use a fake lock.
