Replacement UPVC Door Handles If you're replacing the handles or want to add a bit of extra security you can find the right handle for your door. The Upvc handles are simple to install and have the required 92mm center distance of multipoint locks. The backplate fixing center and the dimensions of the lever/keyhole are the most important measurements. Compare these measurements to your existing marks carefully before placing an order. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles consist of a lever on one side, and a paddle-shaped handle on the opposite. These are designed for use with key wind locks. However, they can be fitted to multipoint split spindle door locks. After you have picked the correct handle for the doors the available finishes will be shown in the drop-down menu. Some styles of handles are not available in all finishes. It is recommended to examine the technical drawing and dimensions sections for the particular product you are looking for to ensure that you get the right fit and size. When you are choosing a new set of lever pad door handles made of upvc, it is important to ensure that they match the PZ (distance between the spindle of the handle and the centre of the hole for the cylinder) of your existing multipoint locks, as these need to be in line for the doors to remain locked, whether from the inside or outside. The handles we offer are designed to work with a variety of standard cylinder locks, but it is advisable to double-check before ordering. If you wish to upgrade to dual spindle levers you'll need to remove the handles you have already installed and disassemble the lock case. This will require an additional split inline cylinder. They can be purchased separately, and we provide an entire technical diagram to examine in the images for each product. It is recommended to loosen the screws holding your existing door handle and then examine the mechanism. You may have to loosen the screws further if they are not tight, and then you can remove the spindle and handle and replace it with a new upvc door handle. It is important to ensure that the handle is in the correct position prior to installing it. You can do this by placing your finger between the door frame and the handle to ensure that it's level. Lever/Lever The lever handles on doors are used to operate a multi-point lock using a Euro cylinder. They are located on many double upvc doors as well as aluminium and wooden doors. They are equipped with an inside lever and a paddle on the outside and are typically available in two types. Sprung – They have an internal spring cassette within the backplate that helps bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. Non-sprung: They do not have a mechanism for bringing the handle lever into a horizontal position. To fix the door handle of a lever that is sagging, you will need to locate the detent access hole or pin, which is usually an elongated or rectangular shape hole or protruding pin located on one side of the base plate. Once you've located it, you can loosen the set screw with a screwdriver and take it off to allow the lever, allowing it to return to the horizontal position. Once the handle is in a horizontal orientation, you can put the screws back in place and tighten them to make sure the handle is 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. Drooping lever handles on door handles could be the result of many factors. The most common reason is that the fixings aren't tight which causes the lever bearing to pull up against the door. It could also be due to the fact that the levers aren't operated at a straight angle and this is causing compression of the latch mechanism preventing it from fully springing back into action. The most common reason for a sprung lever not working properly is that the spring is not being in the right position on the backplate. The most effective way to determine this is to turn the handle to check if it returns to the horizontal position. If the door handles aren't tight, it is essential to spot the problem quickly, as it could cause excessive wear on the screws, and even to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten any loose screws on a regular basis to stop them from becoming looser. Lever/Snib These handles made of upvc are also known as 'Snib' handles and feature a snib button on the top of the lever that you can push down to lock your door in the event that you don't have the Dummy lock. They are typically fitted with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle centre and lever or lock centre) door lock. We also stock a range of 68PZ door handle from manufacturers such as Ferco and Fab & Fix. The replacement of your door handle is a cost-effective way to update your home, regardless of whether you're replacing your handles or installing new ones on doors you've built in your house. There are various styles available for upvc door handles, including the traditional levers on backplates. Other options include straight or curly short latches as well as Dummy knobs for multi-point locks. These are perfect for French doors. Rose door handles are oval or circular versions of lever on backplate handles. These types of door handles are equipped with the knob or lever on a backplate, which sits behind the lever or knob and is sometimes referred to as the rosette, however certain back plates can be detached to be concealed for fixing. These handles are available in a variety of finishes including coloured and chrome finishes, to match your door and other hardware such as knobs, hinges, and bolts. Some handles come with grub screws, which help firmly attach the lever or knob to the spindle. Some handles are equipped with bathroom spindles that can be used to make bathroom locks. They also have an release mechanism that turns the thumb and can be used on doors for bathrooms. 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 factors that could 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, spraying lubricant on the lock and handle. It could also be that the latch has come loose from the backplate. This is a more complicated issue that requires the help of the assistance of a specialist. A multipoint door handle system is a great solution to solve the issue of a stuck door handle. The handles are positioned through the faceplate and are operated by the use of a key or thumb turn knob that triggers the cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles come in different sizes to fit various kinds of uPVC doors and are available in various attractive finishes that match the hardware that is currently in use. These handles can be purchased online or from the local locksmith. They are easy to install and come with clear directions. You'll need to know the cylinder's PZ size in order to select the right replacement handle set. This is the distance in millimetres that lies between the outer edge of the door frame and the center of the hole for the handle. It is also important to determine if the door is a hook style lock or a mortise-style lock. The easiest way to find the correct handle once you have the measurements is to use the brand filter on the website. This will narrow down the options, and you will then choose the appropriate size from the list. A typical set of handles includes the handle unit with two screws of various lengths, drill guides and installation instructions. The smarter versions, such as the Igloohome Smart Mortise 2+ includes the complete mortice lock, which has built-in keypad. These are more complicated devices and are best suited to professional installers or skilled DIYers. Certain handle sets come with an array of other accessories, like weather strips, that can be used to improve the look of the door.
