Replacement UPVC Door Handles If you're replacing your handles or adding a little extra security, you'll find the right handle for your door.

The most important measurements to be considered are backplate fixing centres and key hole dimensions and levers. Compare these measurements with your existing marks carefully before ordering. Lever/Pad Lever pad door handles are made up of the lever handle on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the other. These are designed for use with key wind locks. However they can be affixed to multipoint split spindle door locks. Once you have chosen the appropriate handle for the doors the finishes will be displayed in the drop-down list. Not all styles of handles are available in every finish though and you should always look over the technical drawings and sizes sections for the specific product you are looking to ensure that you are getting the correct size and fitting. It is essential that when selecting the new set of upvc lever pad handles, they are in line with the PZ (distance from the spindle of the handle to the middle of the hole of the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because the handles need to be aligned in order to ensure that doors stay locked, whether you are looking from the outside or inside. Our handles are designed to fit a wide range of standard cylinders, but it is important to double-check before purchasing. If you want to upgrade to dual spindle levers you will need to remove the existing handles and disassemble the lock case. This will require an additional split cylinder inline.

After www.repairmywindowsanddoors.co.uk have removed the screws holding your existing door handle it is recommended to loosen them and inspect the mechanism to see how it's performing. You may have to loosen the screws further if they are not tight, and then you can remove the old spindle and handle and put in your new upvc door handle. It is crucial to make sure that the handle is in the right position before installing 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 using the Euro cylinder. They are located on many double upvc doors, as well as on some wooden and aluminum doors. They feature an inside lever and a paddle on the outside and are generally available in two different types. Sprung – They have a spring cassette installed within the backplate, which helps bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. Non-sprung – they do not have a spring mechanism, and must be manually pulled to raise the handle lever back to its horizontal position. To fix a door handle that is sagging, you will need to find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is usually a small rectangle or round with a protruding hole that is located on the opposite side of the handle base plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you are able to remove it using an screwdriver. Once the handle is in a horizontal position you can re-install the screws and tighten them to make sure the handle remains secure on the base plate. It is also advisable to apply a threadlocking adhesive solution to the threads of the screw to increase the grip and prevent them from loosening over time. Drooping lever handles on door handles could be the result of many factors. The most common cause is that the fixings have been too tightened and are putting strain on the bearings that are and causing it to pull against the door face. It could also be because the levers aren't being operated at a straight angle and this is causing compression of the latch mechanism preventing it from fully springing back into action. A common cause of a spring lever not operating properly is the spring not being in the proper position on the backplate. The most effective way to determine this is to turn the handle to see whether it changes to the horizontal position. If the door handles aren't tight, it is crucial to find the issue quickly, since this could lead to excessive wear on the screws, and even to the handle falling off the base plate. You should also tighten any loose screws on a regular basis to prevent them from becoming looser.
