These upvc handle are easy to install and will meet the 92mm minimum center distance of multipoint locks. The backplate fixing center and the keyhole/lever dimensions are the most important measurements. Compare these measurements carefully with your existing marks before ordering. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles are made up of a lever on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the other. They are designed to be used with key wind locks. However, they can be fitted to multipoint split spindle door locks. Our range of upvc handle lever pads are available in a wide range of finishes. They will be displayed in the drop down list once you have found the right handle for your door. Not all styles of handles are available in every finish and you should always check the sizes and technical drawings for the specific product that you want to make sure that you can get the right size and fit. It is essential to ensure that when you choose a new set upvc lever pad handles, they match the PZ (distance from the handle spindle to the centre of the hole of the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because these need to be aligned in order so that the doors remain locked, regardless of whether you are viewing them from the outside or inside. Our handles are designed to fit a wide range of standard cylinders, but it is important to double-check prior to purchasing. You will need to remove your existing handles and dismantle the lock case if you are upgrading to dual spindle handle levers because this will require an additional split inline cylinder. You can purchase these separately. We have included a technical illustration in the images of each product. It is a good thing to loosen the screws that hold the door handle you have and then examine the mechanism. If the screws aren't tight enough it is possible to loosen them even more. After that, you can take the spindle from the door handle and replace it with your new Upvc handle. It is essential to ensure that the handle is in the proper position prior to installing it. You can do this by placing your finger between the door frame and the handle to make sure that it's in the right position. Lever/Lever The lever handles for doors are used to operate a multi-point lock with the Euro cylinder. They are located on many double upvc doors, as well as on some wooden and aluminum doors. They come in two types, with an interior lever and a paddle outside. Sprung – These come with a spring cassette within the backplate that helps bring the handle lever into a horizontal position. Non-sprung: These do NOT have a mechanism to spring the handle lever to a horizontal position. To repair a door handle lever that is sagging, you'll need to find the hole or pin that is the detent access point. This is usually small, protruding ring, or rectangle, found on the handle base plate. Once you have located it, loosen the set screw with the help of a screwdriver, and then take it off to allow the lever to return to its horizontal position. Once the handle is in a horizontal orientation, you can put the screws back in place and tighten them until the handle is secured to the base plate. Consider applying a threadlocking solution to the threads of the screw to increase grip and prevent them from loosing over time. Drooping lever door handles could be the result of many factors. The most frequent cause is that the fixings aren't tight which causes the lever bearing to get tangled against the door. It could also be that the levers aren't being operated in a straight line and this is compressing the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing back into operation. Another common reason is that the lever that is sprung is not operating correctly and this is typically due to the sprung not being in the proper position within the backplate. The simplest way to check this is to move the handle to see if it returns to the horizontal position. It is important to repair any door handles that are damaged immediately. This could lead to excessive wear on the screws, and the handle could 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 also known as handle sets with a 'Snib' and have a snib button at the top of the lever that you can push down to lock your door if you don't use an Dummy lock. They are usually fitted with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle's center and lever or lock centre) door lock. We also stock a variety of other door handles with 68PZ from manufacturers like Ferco and Fab & Fix.

They also have a thumbturn release mechanism and can be used on doors for bathrooms. Mortise If your uPVC front door handle is stuck in the open position, the problem is likely to be due to the tubular latch. This could be due to various reasons however the most frequent is an absence of lubrication within the latch plate. This can be corrected easily by simply opening the door and spraying lubricant onto the handle and lock. It could also be that the latch has come loose from the backplate. This can be a bit more complicated and requires a professional to fix. A multipoint door handle system is the ideal solution to solve the issue of a stuck door handle.
