Types of UPVC Door HandlesIt is essential to select the correct replacement handle made of upvc for your home when your handles are in need of replacement. Locksmiths can supply and install high-security uPVC door handles that come with additional security features.The most important measurements you should take are the measurement A (also known as PZ) and the length of the backplate. Make sure to check these measurements to make sure your new uPVC handles will fit.Lever/LeverA lever is a rigid rod that pivots around a point. When you apply force to the end of the lever, it is likely to cause it to turn the fulcrum in the direction of the force applied. This rotates the fulcrum, increasing the applied force which allows you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you attempted to apply directly to the load.The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever is able to move. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases as the lever gets extended. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing distance from fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by distance between the fulcrum point and end of the lever.Levers can have different effects based on how the force is applied. A class 2 lever, for example, has a tendency of rotating in the opposite direction when an force applied to it. The forces produced when you push on the handle of a front door can produce rotational effects that are similar to these.However, levers don’t create energy. They simply increase the force you apply by changing a small amount of effort over a large distance into a larger amount of force applied over a smaller distance. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and transport massive quantities of cargo. The principle of the lever is also used in everyday tools like crowbars. hammer claws, fishing rods and your own legs, as you stand on your car’s hand brake.Lever/PadLever pad handles are a kind of door handle made from UPVC that have levers on both sides that operate the multipoint lock. These are available in various finishes and variations and can be installed on a wide range of materials that include UPVC doors, Aluminium doors & Timber Doors. They are sold in pairs for the outer and inner door, with screws and spindles included. They are also available in hand and unhanded versions for different users.These are often used for new constructions and can be fitted to replace existing upvc doors. The levers are raised to open the multipoint locks, and the key is turned to close or unlock the door. They provide a bit more security than standard lever door handles because locking can only be performed by the inside using the key.They’re not as secure as a cylinder lock, however they are a cost-effective way to increase the security of your home. The only disadvantage is that they do not provide the same level of security as a cylinder lock, and therefore don’t block access to the home when the door is left open.The majority of the lever pad door handles made of upvc that we have in stock are manufactured by the industry’s leading manufacturers and therefore are made from high quality components. They also come with a manufacturers guarantee.Typically, they will be designed to be compatible with a 92mm lock, or the replacement version known as a Paddock lock. They will feature a cylinder with 82mm diameter on the inside, and 62mm outside. They are also fitted with two spindle followers. Some come with the backplate inserted, while others are removable for different fixing centers.Lever/SnibLever latches, which are the simplest of all door handles, are utilized. The lever is pushed downwards to open a latch inside the door, which can be locked with a key. Certain lever privacy handles work using the same principle but with the addition of a Snib (like the doorknob).A snib button is very beneficial, especially for homes where it’s important to ensure privacy or security. You can use the snib feature to stop your guest from entering until they are prepared. This type of handle can also be used on doors inside, such as those in bedrooms where you wish to restrict outside access.In certain situations, snib buttons can cause problems, particularly when you have older locks and doors that are bent. If the snib is used in error or by someone who isn’t quite used to it, the door may close and lock you out. You can usually get in by knocking on the door frame or the letterbox. However this isn’t a good idea.If your uPVC door is equipped with a snib-button, we recommend replacing the handle with a modern E-LOK 7-Series smart lock. These can be retrofitted over double turn pull handle kits and come with cover plates to conceal the holes that are already present, allowing to ensure a seamless installation. The E-LOK uses a smart app that allows you to unlock the door with RFID cards or mechanical keys and can be set up with passcodes for safe entry and convenience. The system is tested to 200 000 cycles to ensure long-term durability. The handles are made of solid metal and comply with BS EN 1670 Grade 5 for corrosion resistance.Lever/Moveable PadThis is a popular handle design for front doors. It has the benefit of stopping the door from being opened from outside without a key if the lock isn’t deadlocked. upvc door handle is achieved with a ‘pad-shaped’ external handle that locks into the gap between the handle and the lock case.This handle is designed to be used with uPVC multipoint locks that use a split spindle mechanism. This kind of operation requires the internal lever handle and the external pad handle to be installed on the same lock case. This could be a straightforward replacement for the current uPVC handle, however it could also require a change in the lock case or a new set to handle furniture.These levers/movable pad door handles are suitable for uPVC doors.
