Replacement UPVC Door Handles

You can find the perfect handle for your door, whether replacing your existing handles or adding security. These handles made of upvc are easy to install and have the minimum 92mm center distance of multipoint locks.

The most important measurements to take into consideration are backplate fixing centres and key hole dimensions for levers and levers. Check these carefully against your existing measurements prior to placing an order.

Lever/Pad

Lever pad handles consist of a lever on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the opposite. These are designed to work with key wind locks, however they can also be fitted to multipoint split spindle door locks (though you'll require an additional dual spindle lock case).

Once you have selected the right handle for your doors the finishes will be listed in the drop-down menu. Certain types of handles are not available in all finishes. You should always look over the technical drawings and dimensions for the product you are looking for to ensure that you receive the correct size and fit.

It is essential to ensure that when you choose a new set upvc lever pad handles, they are in line with the PZ (distance from the handle spindle to the centre of the hole in the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because they need to be aligned in order so that the doors remain locked, whether you are viewing them from the inside or outside. The handles we sell are designed to work with a variety of standard cylinder locks, but you should always double glazed door handles-check before ordering.

You'll need to remove your handles that you have already installed and then dismantle the lock case if you are upgrading to dual spindle levers for your handle as this will require a split inline cylinder. These are available separately and we offer an entire technical diagram that you can look at in the images for each product.

It is a good thing to loosen the screws holding the door handle you have and then check the mechanism. If the screws are too tight then you might need to loosen them even more. Then, you can remove the spindle from the handle and replace it with a new upvc handle. It is crucial to make sure that the handle is in the right position before installing it. You can do this by placing your finger between the frame and the handle, to ensure that it's in the right position.

Lever/Lever

Lever door handles function as with a multi-point lock that utilizes the Euro Lock handles cylinder. They are found on the majority of double doors made of upvc, aluminum doors, and some wooden doors. They are available in two types, with the lever inside and a paddle outside. Sprung - They have a spring cassette inside the backplate to help bring the handle lever to the horizontal position. Non-sprung: They do not have a mechanism for bringing the handle lever to a horizontal position.

To repair a door handle lever that is sagging you'll need to locate the hole or detent access pin. It's typically small, protruding ring or rectangle that is located on the base of the handle plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you are able to remove it using an screwdriver.

Once the handle is in a horizontal position, you can put the screws back in place and tighten them to make sure the handle stays secured to the base plate. Consider applying a threadlocking solution to the threads of the screw to increase grip and stop them from loosening over time.

There are a variety of reasons why lever door handles slide. The most common cause is that the fixings are over tightened, and are putting pressure on the bearings of the lever, which causes it to become a bind on the door's face. It could also be due to the fact that the levers aren't operated at a straight angle and this is causing compression of the latch mechanism and preventing it from fully springing back into service.

The most common reason for spring levers that are not functioning correctly is the spring not being in the right position on the backplate. To check whether the handle is back to its horizontal position, simply turn it.

If the door handles aren't tight, it is important to identify the issue fast, as this could lead to excessive wear on the screws and possibly to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all screws that are loose regularly, as this will help to prevent them from loosening.

Lever/Snib

These handles made of upvc are called 'Snib handle sets' and feature the snib lock button on the top of the lever. If you do not have a dummy locking device you can use this device to lock the door. They are usually fitted with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle centre and lever or the lock centre) door lock. We also have a range of other door handles with 68PZ from manufacturers like Ferco and Fab & Fix.

You can update your home by changing the door handles, whether you are replacing the handles on your existing ones or installing new ones on doors that you have built. There are many styles to choose from for door handles made of upvc including the classic lever on backplate. Other choices include straight or curved short latches, and Dummy knobs for multi-point locks. These are ideal for French doors.

Lever on backplate handles are often rectangular, but there are also oval or circular-shaped versions, which are known as rose door handles. These door handles are characterized by a lever or a knob that is attached to a backplate. The backplate is removable for hidden fixing.

There's a wide selection of coloured and chrome finishes for these handles to match your bifold door handles and other hardware, including hinges, knobs and bolts. Some handles come with grub screws to aid in the secure attachment of the knob or lever to the spindle. Other handles are supplied with bathroom spindles that can be used to operate bathroom locks and feature a thumbturn turn as well as a release mechanism, perfect to use on doors for bathrooms.

Mortise

The tubular latch is the most likely to be the cause when your door handle made of uPVC is slammed shut. There could be a variety of factors that could cause this, the most common being a simple lack of lubrication on the latch plate. It is possible to fix this issue by opening the aluminium door handles and spraying lubricant onto the handle and locking. It could also be that the latch has come loose from the backplate. This is a more complex problem that would require an expert.

A multipoint door handle is an ideal solution to the problem of a stuck door handle. These handles are mounted on the door's faceplate and are operated by an actuated thumb turn knob or key that triggers a cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles are available in different sizes to fit various types of uPVC door, and come in various attractive finishes that complement existing hardware. These handles can be purchased online or through a local locksmith and are simple to install, with clear instructions.

You'll need to know the PZ size of your cylinder in order to select the right replacement handle set. This is the distance from the edge of the inner frame of the door to the center point of the handle hole in millimetres. You will also need to determine if the door is hook locks or a mortise lock. Once you have these measurements, the easiest way to find the correct handles is to use the filter by brand on the website. This will help narrow down your options and then you can choose the correct size.

A typical handle set includes a handle unit with two screws of various lengths, drill guides and instructions for installation. Smart versions, like the Igloohome Smart Mortise 2+ include a mortice lock complete with a keypad. These are more complicated devices and are best suited for professional installers or very adept DIYers. Some handle sets include various accessories, such as weather strips, which can be used to enhance the appearance of the door.
