Replacement UPVC Door Handles If you're replacing the handles or adding a little more security, you can find the right handle for your door. These upvc handles are easy to fit and comply with the 92mm centers required by multipoint locks. The backplate fixing center and the lever/keyhole dimensions are the most important measurements. Check these carefully against your existing measurements prior to placing an order. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles are made up of a lever on one side and a handle that is shaped like a paddle on the other. They are intended for use with key wind locks. However they can be affixed 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 handle are available in every finish and you should always look over the sizes and technical drawings for the specific product that you're looking for to ensure that you are getting the right size and fit. When selecting a new set of lever pad door handles made of upvc, it is crucial to make sure that they match the PZ (distance between the handle spindle and the center of the hole in the cylinder) of your current multipoint door locks, as they need to be in the same line to allow doors to remain locked, whether from the inside or the outside. The handles we sell are designed to work with most standard cylinder locks, but you should double-check prior to purchasing. You'll need to take off the handles on your current handle and remove the lock case if you're upgrading to dual spindle levers for your handle as this will require a split cylinder inline. These are available separately and we have an entire technical diagram that you can examine in the images for each product. It is recommended to loosen the screws that hold the door handle you have and then check the mechanism. If the screws are too tight, you may need to loosen them more. Then, you can remove the spindle from the door handle and replace it with your new upvc handle. Before you screw the handle into the frame, it is recommended to check that it is in the right position. You can do this by putting your finger in the gap between the door frame and the door handle to make sure that it is in a level position. Lever/Lever Lever door handles operate with a multi-point lock that utilizes the Euro cylinder. They can be found on a majority of double doors made of upvc, aluminum doors and a few wooden doors. They feature an inside lever and an outside paddle and are usually supplied in two different types. Sprung – They have a spring cassette installed within the backplate that helps bring the handle lever into a horizontal position. Non-sprung – they do not have a spring mechanism, and will require manual pulled to raise the handle lever to a horizontal position. To fix a sagging lever door handle you must find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is typically a small round or rectangle shaped hole or protruding pin located on one side of the base plate. Once located you can loosen the set screw using a screwdriver and remove it to release the lever to return to the horizontal position. Once the handle is in a horizontal position you can re-install the screws and tighten them so that the handle is fixed to the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the threads of the screw to increase grip and stop them from loosening over time. Lever door handles that droop can be caused by many factors. The most frequent cause is that the fixings are too tight, causing the lever bearing to pull against the door. It is also possible that the levers have not been adjusted at the right angle, which compresses the latch mechanism and stops it from fully springing into motion. Another common reason is that the lever that is sprung is not functioning properly and this is usually due to the spring not being in the correct position within the backplate. The simplest way to check this is to turn the handle to check whether it returns to the horizontal position. If the door handles aren't tight, it is important to identify the issue quickly, since this can lead to excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all screws that are loose on a regular basis, as this will help to prevent them from becoming loose.
