Inline Lever/Lever

A lever door handle is a modern handle that can be put in on replacement or new doors. This type of door handle is available in a variety of styles & finishes. A number of manufacturers make this handle including Avocet, ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale.

The uPVC/Composite door handles are made of sturdy materials and are suitable for multi point lock doors that require a heavy duty design. The handles are inline and run with the same spindle as well as screw fixings. They are easily installed on new or existing uPVC/Composite doors.

The sprung lever design allows the handle to be placed and angled for comfortable operation and is suitable for all users. The handle has been endurance tested to 200,000 cycles, which will ensure the quality of the finish and performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever is also adjustable to fit a broad range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is further back. A shortened lever is also a good choice for doors where the latch could be activated by the thumb turn inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle is different from the lever handles commonly found on doors. These handles can use a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side using two offset spindles or inline (pad). They are usually used on UPVC doors with double glazing. They come in a variety of finishes & variations.

The handles are available in a variety of finishes, including White, Chrome, and Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to rust. This gives the handle a high performance and durability for the purpose it was designed for.

All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles come with screws and a spindle, allowing them to be put on a new or existing uPVC door. The backplate fixation centers of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is typically a benefit when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. The handle levers are spring-loaded, thereby solving the issue of handles hanging out of the horizontal position when they are not in use.

It is crucial to match the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when choosing the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement can also be called 'handle centres' or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the right handles.

Once you have the proper PZ size, you'll be required to make sure that the lever pads and push pads are of a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved handles you need for your doors. They typically have rectangular or round in shape, with an internal lever and external push pad.

This keeps draughts out of the home. You will also find that the majority of UPVC handle lever pad style handles are swivel that allows you to put them on either side of the door.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are commonly used on uPVC doors, but can also be used on other types of door. They work by using a key that unlock a cylinder case that will reveal pins that can be aligned with those in the lock body, allow them to rotate the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders are available with up to six pins. External and internal doors require different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder is essential. It's dependent on the amount of use your doors and handles receive. Doors that are external, for instance should be equipped with cylinders with greater security while internal doors can be secured with the standard cylinder. In addition, some cylinders have extra features that increase security, for instance anti-drill or anti-bump features.

A euro cylinder should be measured accurately to ensure that it is the correct size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the screw hole in the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, in the event that one is present. If you cannot measure using the lock in its position, you can remove it. It is important to avoid having a cylindrical lock that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to snapping lock attacks.

The design of many modern cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features. These are designed to reduce attacks by forcing cylinders to rotate in a different direction. This can help to deflect an attack and ensure your door is secure.

Some cylinders are designed to withstand snapping. This is a more frequent kind of attack on cylinders, where the break line in the lock is attacked by a tool that is specially designed to snap off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to be opened. This is faster and more straightforward than opening the door with multipoint locks. It also leaves no evidence of a break-in which can hinder the insurance claim.

Spring Cassette

The spring cassette is located inside the base of your door handle backplate, providing a spring solution and returning the multipoint lock handles back to their normal position after usage. Previously a lot of handles did not have a spring integrated into them, and as a result, they can droop or drop once the locking mechanism has been disengaged. This simple feature is one of the best ways to correct this and it is also an excellent way to stop your doors made of upvc from getting stuck in either closed or open position, since they are not always easy to close manually.

The spring cassettes were made to be used with a sprung multipoint locks.
