Replacement UPVC Door Handles You can find the perfect handle for your door, whether you are replacing your existing handles or adding additional security. Upvc handles are simple to install and meet the 92mm centers required by multipoint locks. The backplate's fixing centre as well as the keyhole/lever dimensions are the most important measurements. Compare these measurements to your current marks before ordering. Lever/Pad Lever pad door handles are made up 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 also be attached to multipoint split spindle door locks. Once you have selected the right handle for your doors, the finishes will be listed in the drop-down menu. Not all styles of handle are available in every finish and it is recommended to check the sizes and technical drawings for the specific product that you're looking for to ensure that you can get the correct size and fitting. When choosing the new set of upvc lever pad door handles it is crucial to make sure that they are in line with the PZ (distance between the handle spindle and the centre of the cylinder hole) of your current multipoint door locks, since they have to be in line for the doors to remain locked, either from the inside or outside. Our handles are designed to fit the majority of conventional cylinders, but it is a good idea to double-check prior to purchasing. If you want to upgrade to dual spindle levers you will need to remove the existing handles and disassemble the lock case. This will require an additional split inline cylinder. These can be bought separately, and we provide the complete technical diagram for you to take a look at in the pictures for each product. Once you have removed the screws holding your existing door handle it is a good idea to loosen them and examine the mechanism to determine what condition it is in. If the screws are too tight, you may need to loosen them further. Then you can remove the spindle from the handle and replace it with a new upvc handle. It is crucial to make sure that the handle is in the right position prior to screwing it into place. You can do this by placing your finger between the door frame and the handle to make sure that it's in the right position. Lever/Lever Lever door handles function as a multi point lock using a Euro cylinder. They are found on the majority of upvc double doors, aluminium doors, and some wooden doors. They have a lever inside and a paddle on the outside and are usually supplied in two types. Sprung – These include an internal spring cassette within the backplate, which helps bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. Non-sprung – they do not have a spring mechanism and must be manually pulled to raise the handle lever to the horizontal position. To fix the door handle of a lever that is sagging you must find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is usually an elongated or rectangular with a protruding hole located on one side of the base plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you can remove it using an screwdriver. When the handle is in a horizontal orientation, you can put the screws back in place and tighten them to make sure the handle is secured to the base plate. Consider applying a threadlocking solution to the screw threads in order to increase grip and prevent them from loosing over time. There are many reasons why door handles of levers drop. The most common cause is that the fixings have been over tightened and are putting strain on the bearings of the lever, and causing it to pull against the door's face. It could also be that the levers have not been adjusted at the right angle, which compresses the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing into action. Another reason is that the lever that is sprung is not functioning properly and this is typically due to the sprung not being in the right position within the backplate. To determine if the handle returns to horizontal, simply move it. If your door handles are loose, it is crucial to find the problem quickly, as it could cause excessive wear on the screws and possibly to the handle falling off the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all loose screws regularly in order to stop them from loosening. Lever/Snib These upvc handles are also called “Snib handle sets” and feature a snib lock button at the top of the door lever. If you don't have a dummy locking device, you can use this to secure the door. These handles are fitted with a Fullex lock 68PZ. (68mm between spindle and lock centre). We also have a selection of door handles with 68PZ from brands like Ferco and Fab & Fix. You can upgrade your home by changing the door handles regardless of whether you're replacing the handles on your existing ones or installing new ones on doors you built. There are a variety of upvc door handle available, including traditional lever on backplates, straight or curved short latch and knob handles with dummy handles for multi-point locks, which are perfect for French doors. Rose door handles are oval or circular versions of backplate lever handles. These types of door handles come with a lever or knob on a backplate that sits behind the knob or lever and is sometimes called a rosette. However, some back plates can be removed to be concealed for fixing. The handles are available in various 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 aid in the secure attachment of the lever or knob to the spindle. Other handles come with bathroom spindles that can be used to operate bathroom locks and incorporate a thumbturn turn and release mechanism, which is ideal to use on doors for bathrooms. Mortise If your uPVC front door handle is stuck in the open position, the problem is likely to be due to the tubular latch. It could be due to a number of things but the most prevalent is the lack of lubrication on the latch plate. It is possible to solve this issue by opening the door and spraying lubricant on the lock and handle. Or, it could be that the latch plate has been dislodged from the backplate. This is a more complicated issue that requires the assistance of a specialist. A multipoint door handle system is a great solution to the problem of a sticking door handle. The handles are positioned through the faceplate and are operated with a key or thumb turn knob which activates the cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles are available in a variety of sizes that will fit various kinds of uPVC doors. They are also available with a variety of attractive finishes that complement the existing hardware. The handles can be bought on the internet or through the local locksmith and are easy to install with clear instructions. To choose a replacement handle set, you'll be required to know the PZ size of your cylinder. This is the distance from the edge of the inner frame of the door to the central point of the handle hole in millimetres. It is also important to determine if the door is a hook style lock or a mortise style lock. Once you know these measurements, the most efficient method to locate the correct handles is to use the filter by brand on the website. This will narrow down the options and you can then select the correct size from there. A typical handle set comes with the handle unit, a pair of different length screws, drill guides and installation instructions. Smarter versions, like the Igloohome Smart Mortise 2+ come with a mortice lock with keys. These are more complex models and are ideal for professional installers or very skilled DIYers. Certain handle sets come with many accessories, such as weather strips, which can be used to improve the appearance of the door.
