Replacement UPVC Door Handles You can find the ideal handle for your door, whether you're replacing your existing handles or adding additional security. 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. Compare these measurements with your existing measurements prior to ordering. Lever/Pad Lever pad door handles consist of the lever handle on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the other. waltham-forest upvc door handle repairs are designed to be used with key wind locks although they can also be fitted to multipoint split spindle door locks (though you will need an additional dual spindle lock case). Once you have selected the right handle for your doors the finishes will be displayed in the drop-down list. Some styles of handles are not available in all finishes. It is recommended to look over the technical drawings and dimensions sections for the particular product you are looking for to ensure that you get the right size and fit. When selecting a new set of lever pad door handles made of Upvc it is crucial to make sure that they are in line with the PZ (distance between the spindle of the handle and the center of the hole in the cylinder) of your existing multipoint locks, as they need to be in the same line to allow doors to remain locked, either from the inside or the outside. Our handles are designed to fit a wide range of standard cylinders, however it is a good idea to double-check prior to purchasing. You'll need to remove your existing handles and dismantle the lock case if you're upgrading to dual spindle handle levers as this will require an additional split cylinder inline. You can purchase these separately. We have included a diagram of the technical aspects in the images of each product. Once 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 the condition it is in. If the screws aren't tight enough then you might need to loosen them even more. Then you can remove the spindle from the door handle and replace it with a new upvc handle. Before putting the handle in place it is a good idea to ensure that it is in the proper place. You can do this by inserting your finger into the space between the door frame and the handle to make sure that it is in a level position. Lever/Lever The lever handles for doors are used to operate a multi-point lock that uses an Euro cylinder. They can be found on many upvc double doors as well as some aluminium and wooden doors. They feature an inside lever and a paddle on the outside and are generally available in two types. Sprung - These have a spring cassette fitted inside the backplate to bring the handle lever into a horizontal position. Non-sprung: They do not include a mechanism that can spring the handle lever to a horizontal position. To fix a door handle that is sagging it is necessary to find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is typically a small round or rectangle shape hole or protruding pin located on one side of the handle base plate. Once you have located it, loosen the set screw using a screwdriver and take it off to allow the lever to return to its horizontal position. Once the handle is set horizontally, it is possible to install the screws. Close them to ensure that the handle is securely fixed to the base plate. Consider applying a threadlocking product to the threads of screws to increase grip and prevent them from loosening over time. Drooping lever handles on door handles could be the result of a number of factors. The most common cause is that the fixings have been too tightened, and are putting pressure on the lever bearing which causes it to become a bind on the door's face. It could also be that the levers are not being operated in a straight line and this is causing the latch mechanism and preventing it from fully springing back into service. Another common cause is that the sprung lever is not functioning properly and this is usually due to the spring not being in the correct position within the backplate. The simplest way to check this is to operate the handle to check whether it returns to the horizontal position. It is important to fix any loose door handles immediately. This could lead to excessive wear on the screws, and the handle could fall off the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all loose screws on a regular basis, as this will help to prevent them from loosening. Lever/Snib These upvc handles are called 'Snib handle sets' and come with the snib lock button on the top of the lever. If you do not have a dummy locking device then you can use this feature to lock the door. They are typically fitted with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle's center and lever or lock centre) door lock. We also have a range of other 68PZ door handles from various manufacturers, including Ferco and Fab & Fix. You can upgrade your home by changing your door handles, whether you are replacing your existing handles or installing new ones on doors that you have built. There are a variety of styles available for door handles made of upvc including the traditional levers on backplates. Other options include straight or curly short latches, as well as Dummy knobs for multi-point locks. These are great for French doors. Rose door handles are oval or circular versions of lever on backplate handles. These handles are identified by a lever or a knob that is attached to the backplate. The backplate can be removed to allow for hidden fixing. These handles are available in various finishes, including coloured and chrome finishes to complement your door and other hardware like knobs, bolts and hinges. Some handles are supplied with grub screws that assist in firmly attaching the lever or knob to the spindle. Other handles are supplied with bathroom spindles that can be used to operate bathroom locks and incorporate a thumbturn turn and release mechanism, ideal for use on bathroom doors. Mortise The tubular latch is most likely to be the cause of this in the event that your door handle is slammed shut. This can be caused by many things but the most prevalent is an absence of lubrication within the latch plate. This can be resolved quickly by opening the door and spraying lubricant on the lock and handle. Alternatively, it could be that the latch plate has become separated from the backplate. This is a more complex problem that would require an expert. A multipoint door handle system is an ideal solution to the problem of a door handle that is stuck. These handles mount through the door's faceplate and are operated by an actuated thumb turn knob or key that activates an electronic cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles are available in a variety of sizes that will fit various kinds of uPVC doors. They also come in an array of attractive finishes to match the hardware you already have. These handles can be purchased online or through a local locksmith and can be installed with clear instructions. To choose a replacement handle set, you'll need to know the PZ size of your cylinder. This is the distance from the edge of the frame of the door to the central edge of the hole in the handle in millimetres. You will also need to determine if the door is hook-style locks or a mortise style lock. Once you know these measurements, the most efficient method to locate the correct handles is to search by brand option on the website. This will help you narrow down your options and then you can select the appropriate size. A typical handle set includes the handle unit, a pair of different length screws as well as drill guides and installation instructions. Smarter versions, such as the Igloohome Smart Mortise 2+ include a mortice lock with keys. These are more sophisticated devices that are for professional installers or highly skilled DIYers. Some handle sets include various accessories, like weather strips that can be used to enhance appearance of the door.
