Replacement UPVC Door Handles Whether you're replacing your handles or adding a little extra security you can find the right handle for your door. These upvc handles are easy to install and conform to the 92mm centers required by multipoint locks. The most important measurements to consider are the backplate fixing centers and lever/key hole dimensions. Compare these measurements carefully with your current measurements prior to ordering. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles are made up of a lever on one side, and a paddle-shaped handle on the opposite. They are designed to work with key wind locks, however, they can also be used to multipoint split spindle door locks (though you'll need a separate dual spindle lock case). Once you have chosen the appropriate handle for the doors, the available finishes will be shown in the drop-down menu. Not all styles of handles are available in every finish though and it is recommended to check the technical drawings and sizes sections for the specific product you want to make sure that you are getting the correct size and fitting. When selecting window handles made of Upvc it is essential to ensure that they are in line with the PZ (distance between the spindle of the handle and the center of the cylinder hole) of your existing multipoint locks, as these need to be in the same line to allow doors to remain locked, whether from the inside or outside. Our handles are designed to fit a wide range of conventional cylinders, but it is always worth double-checking prior to purchasing. If you are looking to upgrade to dual spindle levers, you will need to remove the handles that are currently in use and then take apart the lock case. This will require an additional split cylinder inline. These can be bought separately and we offer an entire technical diagram to take a look at in the pictures for each product. Once you have removed the screws holding your existing door handle it is a good idea to loosen them and inspect the mechanism to determine how it's performing. It is possible that you will need to loosen the screws further in the event that they are not tight. After that, you can take off the old handle and spindle and replace it with a new door handle made of upvc. It is essential to ensure that the handle is in the proper position prior to fixing 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 The lever door handles are used to operate a multi-point lock that uses a Euro cylinder. They can be located on many double upvc doors, as well as on some wooden and aluminium doors. They come in two types, with the lever inside and a paddle on the outside. Sprung – These have a spring cassette fitted within the backplate that helps move the handle lever to an upright 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 door handle that is sagging, you will need to find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is usually a small round or rectangle shape hole or protruding pin located on one side of the base plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you are able to remove it using a screwdriver. Once the handle has been set horizontally, it is possible to put back the screws. Tighten them to ensure that the handle remains firmly attached to the base plate. Consider applying a threadlocking solution to the threads of screws to improve grip and prevent the threads from becoming loose over time. There are many reasons why lever door handles slide. The most common reason is that the fixings are too tight, causing the lever bearing to pull up against the door. It is also possible that the levers haven't been operated at a right angle, which compresses the latch mechanism and stops it from fully springing into action. The most common reason for a sprung lever not working correctly is the spring not being in the right position on the backplate. To check whether the handle is back to horizontal, simply move it. If the door handles aren't tight, it is essential to spot the issue quickly, since this could lead to excessive wear on the screws and possibly to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is also a good idea to tighten all loose screws on a regular basis in order to stop them from loosening. Lever/Snib These handles made of upvc are called 'Snib handle sets' and feature an snib lock button located at the top of the door lever. If you don't have a dummy lock device you can use this feature to lock the door. They usually come with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle's center and lever or lock centre) door lock. We also stock a range of door handles with 68PZ from manufacturers such as Ferco and Fab & Fix. Changing your door handle is an inexpensive method to upgrade your home, regardless of whether you're replacing your handles or installing new ones on doors you've constructed in your home. There are a variety of styles of door handles made of upvc that include traditional levers on backplate, straight or curving short latch and knob handles that resemble dummy knobs for multi point locks, that are perfect for French doors. Rose door handles are circular or oval-shaped versions of lever-on-backplate handles. These handles for doors are identified by a lever or a knob that is mounted on a backplate. The backplate can be removed to allow for hidden fixing. There is a variety of coloured and chrome finishes for these handles to enhance your door and hardware, such as bolts, knobs and hinges. Some handles come with an grub screw that can be used to connect the knob or lever to the spindle. Other handles are supplied with bathroom spindles that can be used to control bathroom locks and include a thumbturn turn and release mechanism, perfect for use on bathroom doors. Mortise If your uPVC front door handle is stuck in the open position, the problem will most likely be with the tubular latch. It could be due to a number of things but the most prevalent is the lack of lubrication on the latch plate. It is possible to fix this issue by opening the door, spraying lubricant on the handle and lock. It could also be that the latch has slipped away from the backplate. This is a more complicated problem that would require a professional. A multipoint door handle is a great solution to solve the issue of a stuck door handle. These handles are mounted through the faceplate and are operated by the use of a key or thumb turn knob that triggers the cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles are available in a number of sizes that will fit various types of uPVC doors and come in an array of attractive finishes that complement the existing hardware. These handles can be purchased online or through an authorized locksmith in your area. They are easy to install with clear instructions. You will need to know the PZ size of your cylinder in order to select the appropriate replacement handle set. This is the distance in millimetres between the inside edge of the door frame and the centre of the handle hole. You should also know if your door has hook locks or a mortise-style lock. Once you have these measurements, the most efficient method to locate the correct handles is to use the filter by brand option on the website. This will narrow down your options and you can then choose the appropriate size from the list. A typical set of handles includes the handle unit with a pair of various length screws as well as drill guides and installation instructions. The smarter models, like the Igloohome Smart Mortise 2+ includes the complete mortice lock, which has built-in keypad. These are more complicated units and are best suited for professional installers or very competent DIYers. Certain handle sets come with a range of other accessories, like weather strips, which can be used to improve the appearance of the door.
