Use the size guide to help you.Inline Lever/LeverA lever door handle is a contemporary handle that can be put in on replacement or new doors. This kind of handle is available in many styles and finishes. This handle is offered by several manufacturers, including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale.Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door HandleThe handles made of uPVC/Composite are made of tough materials and are perfect for multi-point lock doors that require a robust design. The handles are inline and use the same screws and spindle to secure them. They can be easily installed on new or existing uPVC/Composite doors.The handle can be positioned and angled to accommodate the needs of 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 is also adjustable to fit a broad range of locks. This is particularly useful for doors with narrower openings where the cylinder is further back in the door. A shorter lever is a good choice for doors where the latch could be activated by the thumb turn on the inside.Lever PadA Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently than lever handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handles are operated by one spindle or two spindles, either inline or offset. They are commonly used on UPVC doors with double glazing. They are available in a variety of finishes & variations.The handles are available in a variety of finishes, including White Chrome, and Gold. The finish meets BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, thereby giving the handle a high degree of durability and performance for the intended use.All UPVC handle lever pads include a spindle and screws and can be mounted on a uPVC door. The backplate fixation centers of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is usually a benefit when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers come with a spring, which solves the problem of door handles that sag out of their horizontal position when they are not being used.When choosing a replacement UPVC handle and spindle it is important to match the dimensions of the PZ on the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement can also be called ‘handle centre’ or cylinder centres’. It is important to match the correct handles.Once you have the correct PZ size, you’ll need to ensure that the handle lever pads and push pads are in a appropriate shape to accommodate the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handles that you require for your doors. These are typically round or square with an internal lever, and an external push pad.The majority of UPVC Lever Pads that we sell are spring-loaded. This means that they will return to a horizontal state when they are not in use instead of hanging, and possibly securing to the frame. This prevents draughts from entering the building. The majority of UPVC lever pad handles are available in left and right handed models, allowing them to be installed on either side of the doors.Euro CylinderCylinder locks are usually used on uPVC doors, but can also be used on other types of doors. The cylinder lock is operated with a key that unlocks the cylinder’s casing. This reveals pins that can be aligned with the pins in the lock, allowing them to rotate the revolving camera, opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. Doors that are internal and external require different levels of security.Choosing the right cylinder is essential; it is contingent on the way your door and handle are utilized. For example, external doors require a more secure cylinder while doors inside can be secured with an ordinary cylinder. In addition, some cylinders have extra features which can enhance security even more, like anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics.A euro cylinder needs to be measured accurately to ensure it is the right size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to the end of the cylinder, including the thumb turn if you have one. It is best to do this while the lock is in place however if this is not possible, you can remove it to measure. It is important to avoid having a cylindrical lock that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This can make it vulnerable to snapping lock attacks.Most modern cylinders are made with bump and anti-drill features built into their design. They are designed to decrease the chance of a attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in an opposite direction. This will help to stop the attack and ensure your doors are secure.There are cylinders that have been constructed to withstand snapping. This is a typical attack on cylinders. A special tool is used to break the break line of the lock, and then the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a much faster and easier way to gain access than a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the break-in which could make it difficult to prove insurance claims.Spring CassetteThe spring cassette is situated within the base plate of your door handle. It is a spring-loaded solution to bring your multipoint lock handles back to their original position after use. These handles used to have no spring, and would slide when the locking mechanism was removed. Adding this simple component is one of the best ways to correct this, and is an excellent way to stop your doors made of upvc from becoming stuck in the open or closed position, as these aren’t always easy to close manually.These spring cassettes are specially made for use with multipoint locks sprung but they won’t work with multipoint handles that are not sprung and you will require a custom hole cut into your backplate to allow these to fit (please check the image for a technical diagram).
