UPVC Replacement Door Handles

Over time the window handles for wooden windows on your doors will get worn out and require replacement. When replacing them, it is essential that the new handles match the exact dimensions of the old window handle repair.

The top screw's location as well as the lever and keyhole size are the three measurements you have to check. Check the size guide for assistance with this.

Inline Lever/Lever

A lever handle or lever is a modern door handle designed to suit new or replacement doors. This type of handle is available in many designs and finishes. A number of manufacturers make this type of handle, including Avocet ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale.

Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle

The door handles of uPVC/Composite are made of robust materials and are ideal for multi point lock doors that require a heavy duty design. The handles are inline and run from the same spindle and screw fixings so they are easily installed on doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old.

The sprung lever design allows the handle to be positioned and angled to ensure a comfortable experience and is suitable for all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles, which will ensure the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever can also be reduced to accommodate more locks. This is useful in doors that are narrower, where the cylinder is further back from the door. A lever that is shorter is a good choice for doors that have latches that can be activated by the thumb turn inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently than lever handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handle types are either operated by a single spindle or by two spindles inline or offset. They are typically utilized on UPVC doors with double glazed handles glazing. They are available in a variety of finishes & variations.

The handles have been tested to a minimum of 200,000 cycles and are available in a variety of finishes including White, Silver, Chrome & Gold. The finish is in line with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, giving the handle a high degree of durability and performance for the intended use.

All UPVC lever pads for handles come with a spindle, screws and can be installed on a uPVC door. The backplate fixation centers of 211mm allow for a bigger handle, which is typically an advantage when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. These levers for handles are also sprung, solving the problem of handles that slide out of the horizontal position when they are not in use.

It is important to match up the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when choosing the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement may also be referred to as 'handle centres' or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the correct handles.

When you have the right PZ size you will then be required to make sure that the handle lever pads and push pads are a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved handles you require for your doors. They are usually of a round or square shape with an internal lever and an external push pad.

The majority of UPVC Lever Pads we sell are sprung. This means that they will return to a horizontal position after not in use, rather than hanging and possibly sticking in the frame. This keeps draughts out of the property. You will also find that the majority of UPVC lever pad handles are handed which allows you to place them on either side of the door.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other kinds of doors. They work by using a key to unlock a cylinder that will reveal pins that can be aligned to those in the lock body, allowing them to turn the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder you choose is essential. It depends on the use that your doors and handles will receive. Doors that are external, for instance, should be fitted with cylinders that are more secure, whereas internal doors can be secured using the standard cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that can improve security, like anti-drill or anti-bump properties.

A euro cylinder should be measured correctly to ensure it is the right size for your door. The cylinder must be measured from the screw hole in the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, if there is one. If you are unable to measure with the lock in position, you can take it out of it. A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks, such as snapping locks, so it is essential that it is not too long.

The majority of modern cylinders have been made with bump and anti-drill features included in their design. They are designed to minimize attacks by forcing cylinders to turn in a new direction. This will help to deflect an attack and ensure your door is secure.

There are also cylinders that have been designed to withstand snapping. This is a common attack on cylinders. A specific tool is used to break the break line of the lock and then the double glazed front door handles of cylinder is snapped off. This is much quicker and easier to achieve than gaining access through multipoint locks and leaves no evidence of a break-in which can impede an insurance claim.

Spring Cassette

The spring cassette is positioned within the base of your door handle's backplate providing a sprung solution and returning your multipoint lock handles to their normal position after usage. These handles used to have no spring, and would slide when the locking mechanism was disengaged. This simple feature is one of the best ways to correct this issue and is a great way to prevent your upvc doors from getting stuck in the open or closed position, as these aren't always simple to close manually.

These spring cassettes were created to be used with sprung multipoint locks. They won't work with handles that are not sprung, and you will have to cut a hole into your backplate for them to fit. (Please check the image for a technical diagram). They are a replacement for existing broken or missing cassettes in the door handle backplate of various brands of uPVC doors. They have a square cut-out that accommodates an 8mm spindle and are sold as a set.

These spring cassettes are an excellent value-for-money way to fix the problem of handles on your doors that are sagging. These spring cassettes are simple to install and will extend the lifespan of your uPVC door.
