Replacement UPVC Door Handles If you're replacing your handles or need to add extra security, you'll choose the perfect handle for your door. Upvc handles are simple to install and conform to the required 92mm centres of multipoint locks. The backplate fixing center and the keyhole/lever dimensions are the most important measurements. Compare these measurements with your current marks before making a purchase. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles for doors consist of an elongated lever handle on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the other. These are designed 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 displayed in the drop-down menu. Not all styles of handles are available in every finish and you should always look over the sizes and technical drawings for the specific product that you are looking to ensure that you can get the correct size and fitting. It is essential to ensure that when you choose the new set of upvc lever pad handles, they are in line with the PZ (distance from the handle spindle to the middle of the hole of the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because they need to be aligned in order to ensure that doors stay locked, regardless of whether you are looking from the inside or from the outside. Our handles are designed to fit a wide range of conventional cylinders, but it is a good idea to double-check before ordering. You'll need to remove the handles on your current handle and remove the lock case if upgrading to dual spindle handle levers because this will require an additional split inline cylinder. You can purchase these separately. We have included a diagram of the technical aspects in the images of each product. It is a good idea to loosen the screws holding your door handle, and then examine the mechanism. It is possible that you will need to loosen the screws even more if they are not tight. After that, you can remove the old spindle and handle and install your new upvc door handle . Before you screw the handle into place it is a good idea to make sure it is in the right position, and you can do this by putting your finger in the gap between the frame of the door and the door handle to make sure that it is level. Lever/Lever The lever handles on doors are used to operate a multi-point lock using a Euro cylinder. They can be located on many double upvc doors, as well as on some wooden and aluminum doors. They feature a lever inside and a paddle on the outside and are generally available in two types. Sprung – These have a spring cassette fitted inside the backplate to bring the handle lever into an upright position. Non-sprung: They do not have a mechanism for bringing the handle lever to a horizontal angle. To repair the door handle lever that is sliding you'll need to locate the hole or pin that is the detent access point. It's typically an insignificant hole or protruding ring or rectangle that is located on the base of the handle plate. Once you've located it, you can loosen the set screw using a screwdriver and remove it to allow the lever to return to the horizontal position. After the handle is positioned horizontally, you can install the screws. Tighten them to ensure that the handle remains firmly fixed to the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the threads of the screw to increase grip and stop them from loosing over time. There are many reasons why door handles of levers droop. The most common cause is that the fixings are too tight which causes the lever bearing to bind 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 the latch mechanism and preventing it from fully springing back into service. A common cause of a spring lever not operating properly is the spring not being in the proper position on the backplate. To determine if the handle returns to its horizontal position, simply turn it. If the door handles aren't tight, it is important to identify the issue quickly, since it could cause excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all screws that are loose on a regular basis, as this will help to prevent them from becoming loose. Lever/Snib The handles for doors made of upvc are also referred to as handle sets with a 'Snib' and have a snib lever on the top of the lever that you can push down to lock your door if you don't use an fake lock. They are usually fitted with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle's centre and the lever or lock centre) door lock. We also stock a variety of other door handles with 68PZ from manufacturers such as Ferco and Fab & Fix. The replacement of your door handle is a cost-effective method to upgrade your home, whether replacing handles that are in use or fitting new ones to doors you've constructed in your home. There are many styles of door handles made from upvc available that include traditional levers on backplate, straight or curving short latch and knob handles with dummy handles for multi point locks, which are ideal for French doors. Rose door handles are circular or oval-shaped versions of lever-on-backplate handles. These handles for doors are identified by a lever or knob that is mounted on the backplate. The backplate can be removed for hidden fixing. The handles are available in various finishes, including coloured and chrome finishes to complement your door and other hardware like knobs, hinges and bolts. Some handles are equipped with a grub screw to attach the knob or lever securely to the spindle. Some handles come with bathroom spindles, which are suitable for bathroom locks. They also have an release mechanism that turns the thumb and can be used on bathroom doors. Mortise If your front door's uPVC handle is stuck in the open position, the reason is most likely to be related to the tubular latch. There could be a variety of reasons for this, the first being a simple lack of lubrication on the latch plate. This can be fixed quite easily by opening the door and spraying lubricant on the handle and lock. It could also be that the latch plate is dislodged from the backplate. This is a more complex problem that would require the assistance of a specialist. A multipoint handle system is the best solution for stuck door handles. These handles are attached to the faceplate and are operated with either a thumb turn or key knob that activates the cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles come in different sizes to fit various kinds of uPVC door, and come in various attractive finishes that complement the hardware that is currently in use. The handles can be purchased online or through the local locksmith and can be installed with clear instructions. You'll have to know your cylinder's PZ size in order to select the right replacement handle set. This is the distance from the edge of the inner frame of the door to the center edge of the hole in the handle in millimetres. It is also important to determine if the door is a hook style lock or a mortise style lock. The most effective way to locate the correct handles once you know the measurements is to use the filter for brands on the website. This will help you narrow down your options and then you can choose the right size. A typical handle set comprises an arm comprising two screws of different lengths, drill guides and instructions for installation.

These are more sophisticated devices that are suited to professional installers or highly skilled DIYers. Certain handle sets come with various accessories, such as weather strips, which can be used to enhance appearance of the door.
