Replacement UPVC Door Handles Whether you're replacing your handles or want to add a bit of extra security you can choose the perfect handle for your door. The Upvc handles are simple to install and meet the 92mm minimum central distance for multipoint locks. The most important measurements to consider are backplate fixing centres as well as lever/key hole dimensions. Compare these measurements with your existing measurements prior to placing an order. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles consist of a lever on one side and a handle that is shaped like a paddle on the opposite. They are designed to be used with key wind locks. However, they can be fitted to multipoint split spindle door locks. Once you have chosen the appropriate handle for the doors the finishes will be displayed in the drop-down menu. Not all styles of handles are available in every finish though and it is recommended to check the sizes and technical drawings for the specific product you are looking to ensure that you get the correct size and fitting. When you are choosing a new set of lever pad door handles made of upvc, it is essential to ensure that they correspond to the PZ (distance between the handle spindle and the centre of the cylinder hole) of your existing multipoint door locks, as these need to be in line for the doors to remain locked, whether from the inside or the outside. Our handles are designed to fit a wide range of standard cylinders, however it is always worth double-checking prior to purchasing. If you are looking to upgrade to dual spindle levers you will need to remove the handles you have already installed and take apart the lock case. This will require an extra split cylinder inline. You can purchase these separately. We have included a technical diagram in the images of each product. After you have removed the screws that are holding the handle on your door, it is a good idea to loosen them and examine the mechanism to see how it's performing. If the screws aren't tight enough it is possible to loosen them more. Then you can remove the spindle from the door handle and replace it with a new Upvc handle. It is important to ensure that the handle is in the correct position prior to installing it. You can do this by placing your finger between the door frame, and the handle, to ensure that it's level. Lever/Lever Lever door handles are a multi point lock using the Euro cylinder and can be found on a majority of upvc double doors, aluminium doors, and some wooden doors. They are available in two varieties, with the lever inside and a paddle on the outside. Sprung – These include a spring cassette inside the backplate to help to bring the handle lever into an upright position. Non-sprung – they do not have a spring mechanism, and will need to be manually pulled to raise the handle lever to a horizontal position. To repair a door handle lever that is sagging, you'll need to find the detent access pin or hole. It's typically an insignificant hole or protruding ring, or rectangle, located on the handle base plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you are able to take it out using an screwdriver. After the handle is positioned horizontally, you can reinstall the screws. Close them to ensure that the handle stays attached to the base plate. It is also recommended to apply a threadlocking adhesive solution to the screw threads to improve the grip and prevent them from loosing over time. There are a variety of reasons that door handles for levers slide. The most common reason is that the fixings are too tight and the lever bearing to get tangled up against the door. It is also possible that the levers have not been operated at the correct angle, which causes compression of the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing into action. Another common reason is that the lever that is sprung is not functioning properly and this is typically due to the sprung not being in the correct position within the backplate. To check whether the handle has returned to horizontal, simply operate it. If the door handles aren't tight, it is crucial to find the problem quickly, as this could lead to excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is also a good idea to tighten all screws that are loose regularly to help to prevent them from becoming loose. Lever/Snib These upvc handles are also called 'Snib handle sets' and have a snib lock button at the top of the door lever. If repairmywindowsanddoors don't have a dummy lock device, you can use this to secure the door. These handles are fitted with the Fullex lock 68PZ. (68mm between spindle and the centre of the lock). We also carry a selection of other door handles with 68PZ from various manufacturers, including Ferco and Fab & Fix. You can update your home by changing your door handles regardless of whether you're replacing existing handles or installing new ones on doors that you have constructed. There are many styles of door handles made of upvc with traditional levers on backplate, curved or straight short latches and knob handles with dummy handles for multi-point locks, which are perfect for French doors. Lever on backplate handles are usually rectangular in shape, however you can also find oval or circular-shaped versions that are referred to as rose door handles. These types of door handles are equipped with the knob or lever on a backplate, which sits behind the lever or knob and is often referred to as a rosette. However, some back plates can be detached to allow for concealed fixing. These handles are available in a variety of finishes including coloured and chrome finishes, to match your door and other hardware like knobs, hinges and bolts. Some handles are supplied with grub screws to assist in firmly attaching the lever or knob to the spindle. Other handles are supplied with bathroom spindles that can be used to operate bathroom locks. They incorporate a thumbturn turn and release mechanism, ideal for use on bathroom doors. Mortise If your front door's uPVC handle is stuck in the open position, the cause is most likely to be related to the tubular latch. There are a few factors that could cause this, one of which is the simple lack of lubrication on the latch plate. It is possible to solve this problem by opening the door, spraying lubricant onto the handle and lock. Alternatively, it could be that the latch plate has become separated from the backplate. This can be a bit more problematic and requires a professional to repair. A multipoint door handle system is a great solution to solve the issue of a door handle that is stuck. These handles are attached to the faceplate and are operated by a key or thumb turn knob that activates the cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles are available in a number of different sizes to fit various kinds of uPVC doors. They also come with a variety of attractive finishes to match the hardware you already have. The handles are available online or from a local locksmith. They are simple to install and come with clear directions. If you want to replace the handle set, you will have to know the PZ size of the cylinder. This is the distance from the edge of the inner frame of the door to the center point of the hole for the handle in millimetres. You should also be aware of whether your door has hook-style locks or a mortise-style lock. The most effective way to locate the correct handle once you have the measurements is to use the filter for brands on the website. This will narrow down the options and you can then select the correct size from the list. A typical handle set includes the handle unit, a pair of different length screws as well as drill guides and installation instructions. The smart models, like the Igloohome Smart Mortise 2+ includes an entire mortice lock that has an integrated keypad. These are more complicated devices and are best suited for professional installers or very competent DIYers. Some handle sets include various accessories, such as weather strips that can be used to enhance appearance of the door.
