Replacement UPVC Door Handles You can find the ideal handle for your door, whether replacing your handles or adding security. Upvc handles are simple to install and meet the 92mm centers required by multipoint locks. The most important measurements to take into consideration are backplate fixing centres as well as key hole dimensions and levers. Check these carefully against your current measurements prior to ordering. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles consist of a lever on one side, and a paddle-shaped handle on the opposite. They are designed to be used with key wind locks however they can also be fitted to split spindle multipoint door locks (though you will need a separate dual spindle lock case). Once you have chosen the correct handle for the doors, the finishes will be listed in the drop-down list. Not all styles of handle are available in every finish and you should always check the sizes and technical drawings for the specific product you are looking to ensure that you get the correct size and fitting. When you are choosing the new set of lever pad door handles made of Upvc it is important to ensure that they correspond to the PZ (distance between the handle spindle and the center of the hole in the cylinder) of your current multipoint door locks, since they have to be in line to ensure that the doors remain locked, whether from the inside or outside. The handles we offer are designed to work with most standard cylinder locks, but it is advisable to double-check before making a purchase. If you want to upgrade to dual spindle levers you'll need to take out the existing handles and disassemble the lock case. 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. It is recommended to loosen the screws that are holding your door handle, and then inspect the mechanism. It is possible that you will need to loosen the screws further when they aren't tight, and then you can take off the old spindle and handle and install your new upvc door handle. It is crucial to make sure that the handle is in the right position before fixing it. You can do this by placing your finger between the door frame and the handle, to ensure that it's level. Lever/Lever The lever door handles are used to operate a multi-point lock that uses the Euro cylinder. They are found on a variety of double upvc doors as well as aluminium and wooden doors. They feature an inside lever and an outside paddle and are usually supplied in two varieties. Sprung – These include a spring cassette inside the backplate to help bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. Non-sprung – these do not have a spring mechanism and will need to be manually pulled to bring the handle lever back to its horizontal position. To fix the door handle lever that is sliding it is necessary to locate the detent access pin or hole. This is usually an insignificant hole or protruding ring, or rectangle, found on the handle base plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you can remove it using an screwdriver. Once the handle is in a horizontal position you can put the screws back in place and tighten them so that the handle is secured to the base plate. Consider applying a threadlocking product to the threads of screws to increase grip and prevent them from loosing over time. Drooping lever door handles can be caused by various causes. The most common cause is that the fixings are over tightened and are putting stress on the lever bearing causing it to bind against the door face. It could also be that the levers may not have been adjusted at the right angle, which stretches the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing into motion. The most common reason for spring levers that are not functioning properly is the spring not being in the right position on the backplate. The simplest way to check this is to operate the handle to check whether it changes to its horizontal position. If your door handles are loose, it is important to identify the problem quickly, 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 any loose screws on a regular basis to stop them from becoming looser. Lever/Snib These handles made of upvc are also referred to as 'Snib' handle sets and feature 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.

There could be a variety of factors that could cause this, the most common being the simple lack of lubrication on the latch plate.
