Replacement UPVC Door Handles If you're replacing your handles or need to add extra security you can find the right handle for your door. These upvc handles are easy to fit and comply with the required 92mm centres of multipoint locks. The backplate fixing centre and the lever/keyhole dimensions are the most important measurements. Check these measurements against your existing marks carefully before ordering. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles are made up 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 will need a separate dual spindle lock case). Our range of upvc handle lever pads are available in a variety of finishes and these will be listed in the drop-down menu after you have selected the perfect handle for your door. Not all styles of handle are available in every finish though and you should always check the sizes and technical drawings for the specific product you are looking to ensure that you are getting the correct size and fitting. It is essential to ensure that when you choose a new set of Upvc lever pad handles, they match the PZ (distance from the spindle of the handle to the middle of the hole in the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because they must be lined up so that the doors remain locked, no matter if you're viewing them from the inside or from the outside. Our handles are designed to fit the majority of conventional cylinders, but it is always worth double-checking before purchasing. If you want to upgrade to dual spindle levers you'll need to take out the handles you have already installed and disassemble the lock case. This will require an extra split inline cylinder. You can purchase these separately. We have included a technical diagram in the images of each product. Once you have removed the screws that hold your existing door handle it is a good idea to loosen them and inspect the mechanism to determine what condition it is in. It is possible that you will need to loosen the screws a bit more if they are not tight. Then you can take off the old handle and spindle and replace it with a new door handle made of upvc. Before screwing the handle into position, it is a good idea to make sure it is in the correct place. You can do this by putting your finger in the gap between the door frame and the door handle to ensure that it is level. Lever/Lever The lever door handles are used to operate a multi-point lock using a Euro cylinder. They are found on a variety of double upvc doors, as well as on some wooden and aluminum doors. They are available in two types, with the lever inside and a paddle on the outside. Sprung – These have a spring cassette fitted inside the backplate to bring the handle lever to the horizontal position. Non-sprung – These do not have a spring mechanism and will need to be manually pulled to bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. To fix the door handle of a lever that is sagging you must find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is usually an elongated or rectangular shape hole or protruding pin located on one side of the handle base plate. Once you've located it, you can loosen the set screw using a screwdriver and remove it to allow the lever and return it to the horizontal position. When the handle is in a horizontal position you can put the screws back in place and tighten them so that the handle remains fixed to the base plate. It is also advisable to apply an adhesive that locks the screw threads to increase the grip and prevent them from loosening over time. There are many reasons why lever door handles slide. The most frequent reason is that the fixings are over tightened, and are putting pressure on the bearings of the lever, and causing it to pull against the door's face. It is also possible that the levers may not have been operated at the correct angle, which compresses the latch mechanism and stops it from fully springing into operation. A common cause of a spring lever not operating properly is that the spring is not being in the proper position on the backplate. To determine whether the handle is back to horizontal, simply operate it. It is crucial to fix any loose door handles as soon as you can. This can cause excessive wear on the screws, and the handle may even be able to fall off the base plate. You should also tighten any loose screws on a regular basis to prevent them from becoming looser. Lever/Snib These handles made of upvc are called “Snib handle sets” and come with an snib lock button located at the top of the lever. If you don't have a dummy lock device you can use this feature to secure the door. They usually come with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle centre and lever or lock centre) door lock. We also have a range of other 68PZ door handles from manufacturers like Ferco and Fab & Fix. You can update your home by changing your door handles, whether you are replacing your existing handles or installing new ones on doors you have constructed. There are many styles to choose from for upvc door handles, including the classic lever on the backplate. Other options include curved or straight short latches, as well as knobs that resemble dummy knobs to lock multi-points. These are ideal for French doors. Lever on backplate handles are typically rectangular in shape, however you can also find oval or circular-shaped versions, which are known as rose door handles. These handles for doors are identified by a lever or a knob that is mounted on a backplate. The backplate can be removed for hidden fixing. These handles are available in a variety of finishes, including chrome and coloured finishes, to match your door and other hardware such as knobs, bolts and hinges. Some handles are supplied with grub screws, which aid in the secure attachment of the knob or lever to the spindle. Other handles come with bathroom spindles that can be used to operate bathroom locks and include a thumbturn turn and release mechanism, which is ideal for bathroom doors. Mortise The tubular latch is most likely to be the cause if your uPVC door handle is stuck open. There are a few factors that could cause this, the first being a simple lack of lubrication on the latch plate. This can be corrected quickly by opening the door and spraying lubricant on the lock and handle. It could also be that the latch has slipped away from the backplate. This could be more complicated and requires a professional to repair. A multipoint door handle system is an ideal solution to solve the issue of a sticking door handle. The handles are positioned through the faceplate and operated with either a thumb turn or key knob that triggers the cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles are available in a variety of sizes to suit different kinds of uPVC door and in various attractive finishes that are compatible with the hardware that is currently in use. These handles can be purchased via the internet or from the local locksmith and can be installed with clear instructions. You will have to know your PZ size of your cylinder in order to select the right replacement handle set. This is the distance from the edge of the inner door frame to the centre edge of the hole in the handle in millimetres. You will also need to know if your door has hook-style locks or a mortise-style lock. Once you have these measurements, the simplest method to locate the correct handles is to filter by brand option on the website. Repair My Windows And Doors will narrow down the choices and allow you to choose the appropriate size from the list.
