Replacement UPVC Door Handles If you're replacing your handles or want to add a bit of extra security you can choose the perfect handle for your door. These upvc handles are easy to install and meet the required 92mm centres of multipoint locks. The most important measurements to consider are the backplate fixing centers and lever/key hole dimensions. Compare these measurements with your existing measurements prior to ordering. 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 also be attached to multipoint split spindle door locks. After you have picked the appropriate handle for the doors, the finishes will be displayed in the drop-down list. Not all styles of handles are available in every finish and you should always check the technical drawings and sizes sections for the particular product you want to make sure that you can get the correct size and fit. When selecting new 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 center of the hole in the cylinder) of your existing multipoint locks, as these need to be in line for the doors to remain locked, whether from the inside or the outside. The handles we offer are designed to work with most standard cylinder locks, but it is advisable to double-check before making a purchase. If you are looking to upgrade to dual spindle levers you will need to remove the handles that are currently in use and then disassemble the lock case. This will require an additional split cylinder inline. These are available separately and we have an entire technical diagram for you to take a look at in the pictures for each product. After you have removed the screws that hold your existing door handle it is an ideal idea to loosen them and inspect the mechanism to see how it's performing. If the screws aren't tight enough, you may need to loosen them further. Then you can remove the spindle from the door handle and replace it with your new Upvc handle. Before putting the handle in place it is a good idea to check that it is in the correct position. You can do this by putting your finger into the gap between the frame of the door and the handle to ensure that it is level. Lever/Lever The lever door handles are used to operate a multi-point lock with a Euro cylinder. They can be found on many upvc double doors, as well as on some aluminium and wooden doors. They have an inside lever and an outside paddle and are usually supplied in two varieties. Sprung – They have a spring cassette installed within the backplate that helps bring the handle lever to an upright position. Non-sprung: They do not have a mechanism for bringing the handle lever into a horizontal position. To repair a door handle lever that is sagging you'll need to locate the hole or detent access pin. This is usually an insignificant hole or protruding ring, or rectangle, found on the handle base plate. Once you have located it, loosen the set screw using the help of a screwdriver, and then take it off to allow the lever to return to the horizontal position. Once the handle is positioned horizontally, you can reinstall the screws. Close them to ensure that the handle remains firmly connected to the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the screw threads in order to improve grip and prevent them from loosening over time. There are many reasons that door handles for levers drop. The most common cause is that the fixings are too tight which causes the lever bearing to pull up against the door. It could also be due to the fact that the levers aren't operated in a straight line and this is causing the latch mechanism and preventing it from fully springing back into service. A common cause of spring levers that are not functioning correctly is the spring not being in the right position on the backplate. The easiest way to test this is to move the handle to check whether it returns to the horizontal position. It is important to fix any door handles that are damaged as soon as possible. This can cause excessive wear on the screws, and the handle could fall off the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all loose screws regularly, as this will help to stop them from loosening. Lever/Snib These upvc door handles are also known as handle sets with a 'Snib' and have a snib lever towards the top of the lever that can be pressed down to lock your door if you don't use an Dummy lock. These handles come with the Fullex lock 68PZ. (68mm between the spindle and the centre of the lock). We also stock a variety of other 68PZ door handles from manufacturers such as Ferco and Fab & Fix.

Mortise The tubular latch is most likely to be the cause in the event that your door handle is slammed shut.
