UPVC Replacement Door Handles
Over time, the handles on your doors will wear down and need to be changed. It is important to match the dimensions of the handles that were previously used when replacing them.
The top screw's location as well as the lever and keyhole dimensions are the three measurements that you need to verify. Use the size guide to help you.
Inline Lever/Lever
A lever door handle is a contemporary handle that can be installed on new or replacement doors. This style door handle is available in a wide range of styles & finishes. This handle is available from several manufacturers, including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale.
Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle
The uPVC/Composite door handles are made of robust materials and are suitable for multi-point lock doors that require a strong design. The handles are inline, and they utilize the same screws and spindle to secure them. They are easily fitted on new or existing uPVC/Composite door.
The handle can be adjusted and angled to fit any user. The handle has been endurance tested to 200,000 cycles, which helps to ensure the quality of the finish and performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever can also be cut to fit the widest range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is located further back. A shortened lever is also a good choice for doors where the latch can be operated by a thumb turn located on the inside.
Lever Pad
The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles that are used on the majority of doors. These handle types can either work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from both sides using two offset spindles or inline (pad). They are usually employed on UPVC double glazed doors. They are available in a variety of variations and finishes.
The handles have been tested to a minimum of 200 000 cycles and are available in several finishes like White, Silver, Chrome & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and resistant to corrosion. This gives the handle the best performance and long-lasting durability for its intended purpose.
All of the UPVC lever pad styles for handles come with screws and a spindle that allow them to be fitted on any new or existing uPVC door. The 211mm backplate fixing centres permit a bigger size handle that can often be a benefit in replacing a defective or worn multi point

It is crucial to match the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when selecting a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement can also be called 'handle centre or cylinder centre'. It is important to match the correct handles.
Once you have the proper PZ size, you'll have to ensure that the lever pads and push pads are a suitable shape to fit the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compatible handles you require for your doors. These are usually square or round with an internal lever and an external push pad.
Most of the UPVC lever pads we offer are sprung, which means that they will return to their horizontal position when not being used, instead of hanging out and possibly sticking in the frame. This prevents drafts and cold air from getting into a house. The majority of UPVC lever pad style handles are available in left and right handed models, allowing them to be installed on either side of the doors.
Euro Cylinder
Cylinder locks can be found on uPVC and other kinds of doors. The cylinder lock operates with a key that unlocks the cylinder's casing. This reveals pins that can be aligned to those in the lock and allow them to turn the camera that rotates, opening the door. Euro Cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with internal and external doors generally needing different levels of security.
Choosing the right cylinder is essential; it is dependent on the way your doors and handles are used. For instance, doors that are external must be secured with a more secure cylinder while doors inside can be secured using a standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders have extra features that increase security further, such as anti-drill or anti-bump properties.
A euro cylinder must be properly measured to ensure it's the right size for your door. The cylinder needs to be measured from the screw hole in the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn in the event that one is present. If you cannot measure with the lock in position, you can take it out of it. A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon might be susceptible to attacks like snapping locks, therefore it is important that it is not too long.
The design of most newer cylinders comes with anti-drilling as well as bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease the chance of a attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in a different direction. This can help deflect the attack and ensure your doors are secure.
Certain cylinders are constructed to resist snapping. This is an increasingly common kind of attack on cylinders which is where the break line of the lock is targeted using a special tool to snap off the front of the cylinder and allow the

Spring Cassette
The spring cassette is positioned inside the base of your door handle's backplate, supplying a spring-loaded solution that returns your multipoint lock handles to their normal position after using. In the past, a lot of handles of this kind did not have a spring built into them, and without it they are more likely to slide or drop when the locking mechanism is disengaged. Adding this simple component is one of the best methods to correct this and it is also an effective way to keep your doors made of upvc from getting stuck in the open or closed position, as these aren't always simple to manually close by hand.
The spring cassettes were made to be used with sprung multipoint locks. They will not fit unsprung handles, and you will have to cut a hole in the backplate to allow them to fit. (Please look at the image for a detailed diagram). They are a replacement for broken or missing cassettes in the backplates of door handles of various kinds of uPVC doors. They feature a square cut-out that accommodates an 8mm spindle and they are supplied individually.
These spring cassettes are an excellent value for money way to fix the problem of door handles that are sagging. These spring cassettes are easy to install and will extend the life of your uPVC door.
