Replacement UPVC Door Handles If you're replacing the handles or want to add a bit of extra security, you'll choose the perfect handle for your door. Upvc handles are simple to install and conform to the required 92mm centres for multipoint locks. The backplate's fixing centre as well as the dimensions of the lever/keyhole are the most important measurements. Make sure you compare these to your existing measurements prior to placing an order. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles consist of a lever on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the opposite. These are designed to be used with key wind locks, however they can also be adapted to multipoint split spindle door locks (though you'll require a separate dual spindle lock case). Our selection of upvc handle lever pads are available in a wide variety of finishes and these will be displayed in the drop down list after you have selected the perfect handle for your door. Some styles of handles are not available in all finishes. It is recommended to check the technical drawing and size sections for the specific product you are looking for to ensure that you receive the correct size and fit. When you are choosing new lever pad door handles made of upvc, it is important to ensure that they match the PZ (distance between the handle spindle and the center of the hole in the cylinder) of your existing multipoint locks, since they have to be in line to ensure that the doors remain locked, whether from the inside or the outside. The handles we sell are designed to work with the majority of standard cylinder locks, but you should always double-check before ordering. You'll need to remove your handles that you have already installed and then dismantle the lock case if you are upgrading to dual spindle handle levers because this will require an additional split cylinder inline. They can be purchased separately and we offer a full technical diagram that you can take a look at in the pictures for each product. It is a good idea to loosen the screws holding your existing door handle and then examine the mechanism. If the screws aren't loose enough then you might need to loosen them further. Then, you can remove the spindle from the handle and replace it with a new upvc handle. It is important to ensure that the handle is in the correct position prior to screwing it into place. You can do this by placing your finger between the door frame, and the handle to make sure that it is level. Lever/Lever The lever door handles are used to operate a multi-point lock that uses an Euro cylinder. They can be located on many double upvc doors as well as some aluminium and wooden doors. They have an inside lever and a paddle on the outside and are usually supplied in two types. Sprung – these come with a spring cassette within the backplate to help bring the handle lever to the horizontal position. Non-sprung – These do not have a spring mechanism and will require manual pulled to bring the handle lever to the horizontal position. To repair the door handle lever that is sliding, you'll need to find the detent access pin or hole. This is usually small, protruding ring or rectangular found on the handle base plate. Once you've located it, you can loosen the set screw with the help of a screwdriver, and then remove it to release the lever to return to its horizontal position. When the handle is in a horizontal orientation, you can put the screws back in place and tighten them until the handle remains secure on the base plate. Consider applying a threadlocking product to the threads of the screw to increase grip and stop the threads from becoming loose over time. There are a variety of reasons that door handles for levers slide. The most frequent cause is that the fixings aren't tight which causes the lever bearing to get tangled up against the door. It is also possible that the levers may not have been adjusted at the right angle, which compresses the latch mechanism and stops it from fully springing into motion. Another common reason is that the lever that is sprung is not operating correctly and this is usually due to the spring not being in the proper position within the backplate. The most effective way to determine this is to operate the handle to check whether it changes to the horizontal position. It is crucial to fix any door handles that are damaged as soon as possible. This can cause excessive wear on the screws and the handle could be able to fall off the base plate. It is also a good idea to tighten all loose screws on a regular basis to help to stop them from loosening. Lever/Snib These upvc handles are also called 'Snib handle sets' and have an snib lock button located at the top of the door lever. If you do not have a dummy locking device then you can use this to lock the door. They are usually fitted with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle centre and lever or the lock centre) door lock. We also have a range of other 68PZ door handles from various manufacturers, including Ferco and Fab & Fix.

Mortise If your front door's uPVC handle is stuck in the open position, the cause is likely to be due to the tubular latch. There are a few factors that could cause this, the first being an unlubricated latch plate on the latch plate. It is possible to solve this problem by opening the door and spraying lubricant onto the handle and lock. Alternatively, it could be that the latch plate has become detached from the backplate.
