upvc door handles can find the perfect handle for your door, whether replacing your handles or adding extra security. Upvc handles are simple to fit and comply with 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 carefully with your current measurements prior to ordering. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles for doors consist of an elongated lever handle 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 need a separate dual spindle lock case). Once you have chosen the right handle for your doors, the available finishes will be shown in the drop-down list. Not all styles of handle are available in every finish though and it is recommended to check the technical drawings and sizes sections for the specific product you are looking to ensure that you get the right size and fit. When you are choosing new upvc lever pad door handles it is important to ensure that they correspond to the PZ (distance between the spindle of the handle and the center of the hole for the cylinder) of your existing multipoint door locks, since they have to be in the same line to allow doors to remain locked, whether from the inside or the outside. The handles we sell are designed to work with the majority of conventional cylinder locks, however it is advisable to double-check before ordering. You'll need to remove your existing handles and dismantle the lock case if you are upgrading to dual spindle levers for your handle because this will require a split inline cylinder. They can be purchased separately, and we provide an entire technical diagram to look at in the images for each product. Once you have removed the screws that are holding the handle on your door, it is an ideal idea to loosen them and examine the mechanism to determine what condition it is in. You may need to loosen the screws further when they aren't tight. After that, you can remove the spindle and handle and install your new upvc door handle. It is important to ensure that the handle is in the proper position prior to screwing it into place. You can do this by placing your finger between the door frame and the handle, to ensure that it's in the right position.

They have an inside lever and a paddle on the outside and are usually supplied in two varieties. Sprung – These include a spring cassette installed within the backplate, which helps to bring the handle lever into a horizontal position. Non-sprung: They do not have a mechanism for bringing the handle lever to a horizontal angle. To repair a door handle lever that is sagging you'll need to locate the hole or detent access pin. It's typically a small hole or protruding ring or rectangle located on the handle base plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you can take it out using a screwdriver. When the handle is in a horizontal position, you can put the screws back in place and tighten them until the handle stays fixed to the base plate. Consider applying a threadlocking solution to the screw threads in order to increase grip and stop them from loosening over time. There are a variety of reasons that door handles for levers droop. The most common cause is that the fixings have been over tightened and are putting strain on the bearings of the lever, causing it to bind against the door's surface. It could also be that the levers may not have been operated at a right angle, which compresses the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing into motion. The most common reason for spring levers that are not functioning properly is that the spring is not being in the proper position on the backplate. To determine if the handle returns to horizontal, simply move it. If your door handles are loose, it is essential to spot the issue fast, as it could cause excessive wear on the screws and possibly to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten loose screws frequently to stop them from becoming looser.

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 can be caused by various reasons, but the most common is the lack of lubrication on the latch plate.
