upvc replacement door handles can find the perfect handle for your door, whether replacing your handles or adding additional security. These upvc handle are easy to install and meet the 92mm minimum central distance for multipoint locks. The backplate's fixing centre as well as the keyhole/lever dimensions are the most important measurements. Make sure you compare these to your existing measurements prior to placing an order. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles are made up of a lever on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the other. They are designed to work with key wind locks, although they can also be fitted to split spindle multipoint door locks (though you'll need a separate dual spindle lock case). After you have picked the appropriate handle for the doors, the available finishes will be shown in the drop-down list. Some styles of handles are not available in all finishes. It is recommended to look over the technical drawings and size sections for the specific item that you want to ensure that you get the right fit and size. It is important to ensure that when you choose the new set of upvc lever pad handles, they are in line with the PZ (distance from the spindle of the handle to the centre of the hole in the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because these need to be aligned in order so that the doors remain locked, whether you are looking at them from the inside or from the outside. Our handles are designed to fit a wide range of conventional cylinders, but it is important to double-check prior to purchasing. If you are looking to upgrade to dual spindle levers, you will need to remove the existing handles and take apart the lock case. This will require an extra split cylinder inline. You can purchase these separately. We have included a technical diagram in the images of each product. After you have removed the screws that are holding the door handle you have, it is recommended to loosen them and inspect the mechanism to determine the condition it is in. If the screws aren't loose enough then you might need to loosen them more. After that, you can take the spindle from the door handle and replace it with your new upvc handle. Before putting the handle in the frame, it is a good idea to check that it is in the proper place. You can do this by placing your finger in the space between the door frame and the handle to make sure it is in a level position. Lever/Lever Lever door handles function as a multi point lock using a Euro Cylinder and can be found on most double doors made of aluminium, upvc doors, and some wooden doors. They have an inside lever and an outside paddle and are usually supplied in two types. Sprung – they come with a spring cassette within the backplate to help bring the handle lever into the horizontal position. Non-sprung – these 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 typically a small rectangle or round with a protruding hole that is located on the opposite side of the handle base plate. Once you have located it, loosen the set screw using the help of a screwdriver, and then take it off to allow the lever to return to the horizontal position. Once the handle is in a horizontal position you can re-install the screws and tighten them so that the handle stays secured to the base plate. It is also recommended to apply a threadlocking adhesive solution to the threads of the screw to increase the grip and prevent 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 are over tightened, and are putting pressure on the lever bearing and causing it to pull against the door face. It could also be that the levers aren't being operated at a straight angle and this is causing compression of the latch mechanism and preventing it from fully springing back into operation. The most common reason for a sprung lever not working correctly is the spring not being in the right position on the backplate. To check whether the handle has returned to horizontal, simply move it. It is essential to fix any loose door handles immediately. This can cause excessive wear on the screws, and the handle may even be able to fall off the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all screws that are loose on a regular basis to help to prevent them from becoming loose. Lever/Snib These handles made of upvc are called 'Snib handle sets' and have the snib lock button on the top of the lever. If you don't have a dummy lock device you can use this to lock the door. These door handles are fitted with the Fullex lock 68PZ. (68mm between the spindle and lock centre). We also carry a selection of other 68PZ door handles from manufacturers such as Ferco and Fab & Fix. You can make your home more modern by changing the door handles, whether you are replacing your existing handles or installing new ones on doors that you built. There are many styles of door handles made from upvc available, including traditional lever on backplate, curved or straight short latch and dummy knob handles for multi point locks which are perfect for French doors. Lever on backplate handles are often rectangular in shape but there are also circular or oval shaped versions, which are known as rose door handles. These handles are identified by a lever or knob that is mounted on the backplate. The backplate can be removed for concealed fixing. These handles are available in various finishes, including coloured and chrome finishes, to be matched to your door and hardware, such as knobs hinges, and bolts. Some handles come with an grub screw that can be used to connect the knob or lever securely to the spindle. Some handles are equipped with bathroom spindles, which can be used to make bathroom locks. They also have an release mechanism that turns the thumb and can be used on bathroom doors. Mortise The tubular latch is the most likely to be the culprit in the event that your door handle is slammed shut. This could be due to a number of things but the most prevalent is a lack of lubrication in the latch plate. It is possible to fix this problem by opening the door, spraying lubricant onto the lock and handle. Alternatively, it could be that the latch plate has become dislodged from the backplate. This can be a bit more of a problem and requires a professional to fix. 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 activates the cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles are available in a variety of different sizes to fit different types of uPVC doors and come with a variety of attractive finishes to complement the existing hardware. These handles are available online or from an authorized locksmith in your area. They are easy to install and come with clear instructions. You will need to know your cylinder's PZ size in order to select the right replacement handle set. This is the measurement in millimetres that lies between the outer edge of the frame of the door and the centre of the hole in the handle. You should also be aware of whether your door has hook-style locks or a mortise lock. The most effective way to locate the correct handles once you have the measurements is to use the filter for brands on the website. This will help you narrow down your options, and then you can select the correct size. A typical set of handles includes the handle, a pair of different length screws drilling guides, as well as installation instructions. Smarter versions, like the Igloohome Smart Mortise 2+ include a mortice lock with a keypad. These are more complicated models and are ideal for professional installers or very competent DIYers. Certain handle sets come with a range of other accessories, such as weather strips that can be used to enhance the look of the door.
