Replacement UPVC Door Handles If you're replacing the handles or adding a little more security, you can find the right handle for your door. The Upvc handles are simple to install and meet the 92mm minimum center distance of multipoint locks. The most important measurements to be considered are the backplate fixing centers and key hole dimensions and levers. Make sure you compare these to your existing measurements prior to placing an order. 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, although they can also be used to split spindle multipoint door locks (though you'll require an additional dual spindle lock case). Once you have selected the appropriate handle for the doors, the finishes will be displayed in the drop-down list. 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 that you want to make sure that you are getting the correct size and fit. It is crucial that when selecting a new set of Upvc lever pad handles, they are in line with the PZ (distance from the spindle of the handle to the center of the hole in the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because these must be lined up so that the doors remain locked, regardless of whether you are looking from the inside or from the outside. The handles we sell are designed to work with most standard cylinder locks, however you should always double-check before ordering. If you wish to upgrade to dual spindle levers you'll need to remove the existing handles and take apart the lock case. This will require an additional split inline cylinder. You can purchase these separately. We have included a diagram of the technical aspects in the images of each product. It is recommended to loosen the screws holding your existing door handle and then examine the mechanism. If the screws aren't tight enough it is possible to loosen them further. After that, you can take the spindle from the handle and replace it with a new upvc handle. Before putting the handle in position, it is recommended to make sure it is in the correct position. You can do this by inserting your finger in the gap between the door frame and the handle to ensure that it is in a level position. Lever/Lever Lever door handles operate an a multi-point lock using a Euro cylinder and can be found on a majority of double doors made of aluminium, upvc doors and a few wooden doors. They are available in two types, with an interior lever and a paddle outside. Sprung – these have a spring cassette fitted inside the backplate to bring the handle lever to an upright position. Non-sprung – These do not have a spring mechanism and will require manual pulled to bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. To fix a sagging lever door handle, you will need to locate the detent access hole or pin, which is usually an elongated or rectangular shaped hole or protruding pin situated on one side of the handle base plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you are able to remove it using the help of a screwdriver. Once the handle is in a horizontal position you can put the screws back in place and tighten them so that the handle remains secure on the base plate. It is also advisable to apply a threadlocking adhesive to the screw threads to increase the grip and stop them from becoming loose over time. Drooping lever door handles can be caused by various causes. The most common reason is that the fixings are over tightened, and are putting pressure on the lever bearing causing it to bind against the door's face. It is also possible that the levers haven't been operated at the correct angle, which compresses the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing into motion. The most common reason for a spring lever not operating properly is the spring not being in the correct position on the backplate. The most effective way to determine this is to turn the handle to check whether it returns to the horizontal position. It is important to fix any door handles that are loose as soon as possible. This can cause excessive wear on the screws and the handle may even be able to fall off the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten any loose screws on a regular basis to stop them from becoming looser. Lever/Snib These upvc door handle s are also referred to as 'Snib' handle sets and have a snib button at the top of the lever that you can push down to lock your door in the event that you don't have the Dummy lock.

We also carry a selection of other door handles with 68PZ from various manufacturers, including Ferco and Fab & Fix.

They also have a thumbturn release mechanism and can be used on bathroom doors. Mortise The tubular latch is most likely to be the cause of this in the event that your door handle is stuck open. There may be a few things that can cause this, one of which is an unlubricated latch plate on the latch plate. This can be corrected quickly by opening the door and spraying lubricant onto the handle and lock. It could also be that the latch has slipped away from the backplate. This could be more problematic and would require a professional to fix. A multipoint handle is the ideal solution for stuck door handles.
