This style of door handle is available in a wide range of styles and finishes. A number of manufacturers offer this type of handle, including Avocet ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale.Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door HandleThe door handles made of uPVC/Composite are made of sturdy materials and are perfect for multi-point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline and work with the same spindle as well as screw fixings so they can be easily incorporated into new or existing uPVC/Composite doors.The handle can be adjusted and angled to suit any user. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles. This will ensure the quality of the finish and the performance of the handle over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to fit a wide range of locks. This is especially useful for narrower door frames where the cylinder is located further back. A shorter lever is an ideal choice for doors where the latch can be operated by a thumb turn on the inside.Lever PadA Lever Pad door handle made of upvc functions differently than lever handles on doors. These handles can operate from a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two inline or offset spindles (pad). They are typically employed on UPVC doors with double glazing. They come in a range of finishes and variations.The handles are available in a variety of finishes, including White chrome, and Gold. The finish is in line with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, thereby giving the handle a high level of durability and performance for the intended use.All UPVC handle lever pads come with a spindle, screws and can be installed on the uPVC door. The backplate fixing centres of 211mm permit a bigger size handle that is often a benefit when replacing a faulty or worn multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers come with springs, which can solve the issue of handles for doors that slide out of horizontal position when they are not being used.It is essential to ensure that the PZ dimensions of both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when choosing a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is also referred to as ‘handle centres or cylinder centre’. It is important for matching the correct handles.Once you have the correct PZ size you will then be required to make sure that the handle lever pads and push pads are in a suitable shape to fit the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved handles you require for your doors. These are typically rectangular or round in design with an internal lever as well as an external push pad.Most of the UPVC lever pads that we sell are sprung, meaning that they will return to their horizontal position after not being used, instead of hanging out and possibly sticking in the frame. This prevents drafts and cold air from entering a home. You will also find that the majority of the UPVC lever pad handles are swivel that allows you to put them on either side of the door.Euro CylinderCylinder locks are found on uPVC and other kinds of doors. They work by using a key that unlock a cylinder case which is then revealed with pins that can be aligned with the pins inside the lock body, permitting them to turn the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins, with external and internal doors typically needing different levels of security.The choice of the correct cylinder is essential; it is dependent on how your door and handle are utilized. For instance, exterior doors require a higher security cylinder, while internal doors can be secured using the standard cylinder. Certain cylinders come with extra features that can increase security, such as anti-drill or anti-bump properties.A euro cylinder should be measured accurately to ensure it’s the correct size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the central fixing screw hole to the other end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one. If you are unable to measure with the lock in position, you can remove it. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks, such as lock snapping, so it is important that it’s not too long.Most modern cylinders are designed with bump and anti-drill features built into their design. These features are designed to minimize the risk of attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in an opposite direction. This will help to deflect attacks and protect your door.There are cylinders designed to resist snapping. This is a common attack on cylinders. A specific tool is used to break the break line of the lock and the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a quicker and more convenient method of gaining access than through a multipoint locking system. It also leaves no evidence of the break-in which could hinder insurance claims.Spring CassetteThe spring cassette is situated within the base plate of your door handle. It is a spring-loaded solution to help return the multipoint lock handles to their original position after using. The handles had no spring, and would slide when the locking mechanism was disengaged. This component is the most effective way to solve this issue. It also stops your upvc door from becoming stuck in the closed or open position, as they are difficult to close manually.These spring cassettes have been specifically designed to be used with multipoint locks sprung but they won’t work with unsprung multipoint handles and you will need to have a bespoke hole cut into the backplate to allow them to fit (please see image for technical diagram). These cassettes are a replacement to broken or missing cassettes that are in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are supplied in one unit. They feature a square cut out that is able to accommodate an 8mm shaft.These spring cassettes are a great cost-effective way to fix the problem of your door handles sagging.
