Types of UPVC Door HandlesIt’s important to choose the correct replacement handle made of upvc for your home if handles are in need of replacement. A locksmith can offer and install high-security uPVC door handles that have additional security features.The most important measurements are measurement A (known as PZ) and the length of the backplate (measurement F). Check these measurements to ensure the new uPVC handle will fit.Lever/LeverA lever is a solid bar that is pivotally positioned around a point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum is likely to move in the direction of the force is applied. This motion increases the force and lets you lift or move things that would otherwise require more force to lift.The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the most effective movement. This is called the mechanical advantage. The more the lever extends more, the greater the mechanical benefit. You can determine the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum until the point at which you’re applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and where you will end the lever.Levers can produce different effects depending on the way forces are applied. For instance the class 2 lever is inclined to turn in the opposite direction to when the force of effort is applied (like a teeter-totter). If you push the door’s handle, the forces will produce the same rotational effects as this.However, levers don’t create energy. They just multiply the force you apply by changing a small amount of effort across a large distance into a greater amount of force applied over a smaller distance. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and transport massive quantities of cargo. This is also the basis behind the levers that are found in many everyday tools, such as crowbars, fishing rods claws for hammers and even your own legs when you stand on the hand brake of your vehicle.Lever/PadLever pad handles, also known as upvc door handles, feature levers on both sides to operate the multipoint locks. They are available in a variety of variations and finishes, and are suitable for a range of materials including UPVC, Aluminium & Timber doors. They are sold in pairs for the inner and outer door, with screws and spindles included. They are also available in handed and unhandled versions for different users.These can be used to replace an existing doors made of upvc. The levers are raised to open all the multipoint locks, and the key is turned to lock or close the door. They offer some extra security when compared to traditional lever door handles since the locking mechanism is only accessible from the inside with an open key, unless the door is deadlocked.They are not as secure as a cylinder bolt, but are a reasonable alternative for a home with more security. The only disadvantage is that they don’t have the same level of security as a cylinder bolt and consequently don’t block access to outside if the door has been left open.The majority of the lever pad upvc door handles that we stock are made by the leading manufacturers in the industry, and are constructed using high quality components.

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 a backplate in place, while others are removable for different fixing centers.Lever/SnibLever latches are the most basic type of door handles. Pushing down on the lever triggers a simple latch mechanism inside the door to keep it closed. It can also be locked using keys. The levers for privacy are based on this same principle, but with the addition of a snib (like the doorknob).A snib can be very useful tool, particularly in homes where privacy and security are important. If your partner is arriving at home late from work, you can utilize the snib button to ensure that they aren’t allowed in until they’re ready to come in. This kind of handle is also popular for interior doors, such as bedrooms, where you might need to restrict access from outside.In some instances, snib buttons can cause problems, especially if you have older locks or doors that are distorted. If the snib is used accidentally, or by a person who isn’t quite used to it, the door could close and lock you out. Usually, you can still get in by knocking on the door frame or the letterbox, but this isn’t ideal.If your uPVC door has a snib button it is recommended to replace the handle with a contemporary E-LOK 7-Series smart lock. These can be retrofitted over pull handle kits that double turn and are available with cover plates that hide existing holes, to make it a seamless installation.

The system has been tested to 200 000 cycles to ensure long-term durability. The handles themselves are constructed with a solid metal construction and are BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 for corrosion resistance.Lever/Moveable PadThis popular handle style is commonly used on front doors. It has the advantage of preventing the door being opened without the key from outside when the lock hasn’t been deadlocked. This 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 work with uPVC multipoint locks that use split spindle mechanisms. This type of operation requires the internal lever handle as well as the external pad handle to be fitted within the same lock case. This can be a simple switch from the current uPVC handles, but it might also involve changing the lock case or a brand new set of handle furniture to allow for this additional function.These aluminum levers and movable pads door handles are able to be used on uPVC and come with a maintenance-free slide bearing.
