upvc replacement door handles of UPVC Door HandlesIt is essential to select the correct replacement upvc handle for your home if upvc handles need replacing. Locksmiths can provide and install high-security uPVC handles with extra security features.The most important measurements to take are the measurement A (also known as PZ) as well as the length of the backplate. Check these measurements to ensure your new uPVC handle will fit.Lever/LeverA lever is a rigid rod that pivots around the point. When you apply a force at the end of the lever it will tend to rotate the fulcrum to the direction of the applied force. This rotation multiplies the force applied 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 of the lever and the point where 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 calculate the advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum until the point at which you are applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and where you will end the lever.Levers can also have different effects based on the way in which forces are applied. A class 2 lever for instance is prone to turning in the opposite direction once the effort force is applied. If you press on the door handle, the forces will produce similar rotational effects to this.However, levers don’t create energy. Levers increase the force by making small amounts of effort applied over a longer distance into greater amounts of force that are applied over shorter distances. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and transport huge amounts of cargo. The lever principle is employed in everyday tools such as crowbars. Hammer claws, fishing rods and your own legs, when you are standing on your car’s hand brake.Lever/PadLever pad handles, also known as upvc door handles, feature levers on both sides to operate the multipoint locks. These come in many variations and finishes, and are suitable for a variety of materials like UPVC, Aluminium & Timber doors. They are sold in pairs for the outside and the interior doors, with spindles and screws included. They are also available in hand and unhandled versions for different users.These can be used to replace an existing upvc door. They are usually operated by lifting the levers to throw all of the multipoint locks and turning the key to close and unlock. They offer a little more security than the standard lever handles for doors, as the locking can only be done by the inside using keys.They are not as secure as a cylinder bolt however they are a cost-effective option to provide extra home security. The only drawback is that they do not offer the same level of protection as a cylinder lock and therefore don’t block access to your home if the door is left open.The majority of the lever pad upvc door handles that we offer are manufactured by industry’s leading manufacturers and therefore are constructed using high quality components. They are also typically supplied with a manufacturer’s guarantee.Typically, they will be designed to be compatible with a 92mm lock or the replacement version called a Paddock lock. They will have a 92mm cylinder centre on the inside and 62mm on the exterior and be equipped with two spindle followers. Some are inserted into the back plate while others can be removed to enable different fixing centres.Lever/SnibLever latches are the most basic kind of door handles. Pressing down on the lever is a simple mechanism that opens inside to keep the door closed. It can also be locked using the use of a key. The levers for privacy are based on this same principle however, with the addition of the Snib (like knobs for doors).A snib can be extremely useful tool, particularly in homes where security and privacy are important. If your partner arrives home late from work, you can utilize the snib to ensure they can’t get in until they’re ready to come in. This type of handle is also popular in doors that are inside such as bedrooms, where you may want to restrict access from the outside.Snib buttons can cause problems in certain situations, particularly when you have old locks and doors that are warped. If the snib is applied in a mistake or by a person who isn’t quite used to it, the door may close and shut you out. You can usually gain entry by knocking on the door frame or letterbox. However this isn’t the best option.If your uPVC has a snib we recommend replacing it with an electronic lock from the E-LOK 7 Series. These smart locks can be retrofitted to double turn pull handle kits. They are available with coverplates to hide holes that are already present to ensure an easy installation. The E-LOK uses a smart app to allow you to open the door with RFID cards or mechanical keys, and can be configured with passcodes for secure entry and convenience. The system has been tested for 200,000 cycles to ensure long-lasting durability. The handles themselves are made using a solid metal structure and are BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 for resistance to corrosion.Lever/Moveable PadThis popular handle design is typically used for front doors. It has the advantage of preventing the door being opened without a key from the outside if the lock has not been deadlocked. This is achieved by a ‘pad’ shaped external handle which locks in the gap between the handles and the lock case to prevent the latch from being removed or the door being opened.This kind of handle is designed to fit uPVC doors with multipoint locks that operate with split spindle technology. This type of operation requires that the internal lever handle and the external pad handle both be fitted to the same lock case. This could be a straightforward replacement of the existing uPVC handle, but it could also require a lock case change or a brand new set to handle furniture.These aluminum lever/movable pads door handles are designed for use on uPVC and come with a maintenance-free slide bearing. They also come with fixing lugs, spring cassettes, and an unstick slide bearing. They have a euro profile cut out and can be fitted to a variety of uPVC and timber doors.Lever-movable pads are available in various finishes and can be used with a variety of multipoint locks. They are designed to be used with split spindle multipoint locks which have a 92mm cylinder centre and require a separate split spindle set that is provided by the lock manufacturer.These Hoppe London 77G/3831N/113 lever moveable pad handles are made from cast aluminum with an anodised finish that is corrosion resistant and has high scratch resistance. They can be used in conjunction with a wide variety of other Hoppe products, including handles for french door handles, and window handles. They are also fitted with an escutcheon for security.Lever/Moveable SnibThe lever/lever handle is among the most well-known kinds of door handles made from upvc and comes in a variety of designs. It has two moveable inline handles and is lockable with either a key or thumbturn cylinder that is inside. A pad handle can be used as a substitute to lever/lever handles. It is made up of an adjustable or fixed pad that can be used to operate a lock. These Fullex handles have a sprung lever pad and a snib that can be turned on to ensure the latch is held.When choosing a replacement upvc handle, you need to think about the screw centres, the back plate length, and the PZ measurement.
