Types of UPVC Door Handles When your upvc door handle is in need of replacement, it's important to find the right replacement for your home. Locksmiths can provide and install high-security uPVC handles with added security features. The most important measurements to consider are the measurement A (also called PZ) along with the length of the backplate. Check these measurements to make sure that your new uPVC handles will fit. Lever/Lever A lever is a solid bar pivoted around a point (known as a Fulcrum). When you apply a force to the end of the lever it will tend to rotate the fulcrum in the direction of the force applied. This rotation multiplies your force and allows you to lift or move things that would normally require more force to lift. The distance between the fulcrum to the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever can be moved. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage in mechanical terms increases as the lever is extended. You can calculate mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by distance between the fulcrum point and end of lever. Levers can also have a variety of effects based on how the forces are applied. For example, a class 2 lever is inclined to turn in the opposite direction as the force applied to it (like a T-totter). If you push on the door's handle the force will create rotational effects similar to this. However, levers don't create energy. They simply increase the force you exert by making a small amount effort across a large distance into a larger amount of force applied over a smaller distance. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and transport large amounts of cargo. The lever principle is also employed in everyday tools such as crowbars. hammer claws, fishing rods and your own legs when you stand on the hand brake of your vehicle. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles are a type of door handle made of upvc that has levers on both sides to operate the multipoint lock. They are available in a variety of finishes & designs and can be used on a wide range of materials, including UPVC doors, Aluminium doors & Timber Doors. They are sold as a pair for the outer and inner door, with screws and spindles included. They are available both unhanded and handed versions to meet the needs of different users. These are often used for new builds and can be installed to replace doors made of upvc. They are typically operated by lifting up the levers to throw all of the multipoint locks and turning the key to close or unlock. They offer a little more security than standard lever door handles since locking can only be performed by the inside using keys. They're not as secure as a cylinder bolt, but are a cost-effective option to provide extra home security. The only drawback is that they don't have the same level of protection as a cylinder bolt and therefore won't prevent access from outside when the door is left open. We have a wide selection of lever pad upvc handles that are made by top manufacturers in the industry. They will therefore be made from high-quality components. In general, they are supplied with a manufacturer's warranty. Typically, they are designed to be compatible with a 92mm lock, or the replacement version called a Paddock lock. They will have a 92mm centre cylinder on the inside and 62mm on the outside. They will also be equipped with two spindle followers. Some are fitted with the back plate while others are movable to enable different fixing centres. Lever/Snib Lever latches, which are the simplest of all door handles, are utilized. The lever is pulled down to open a latch inside the door that can be locked with keys. Certain lever privacy handles work using the same principle, but with the addition of an Snib (like the doorknob). A snib-button can be very useful, especially for homes where it's crucial to ensure privacy or security. You can use the snib feature to prevent your partner from entering until they are ready. This type handle can also be put in on doors inside, such as those in bedrooms where you want to restrict access from outside. Snib buttons can cause issues in certain situations, particularly when you have old locks and doors that are warped. If the snib is used accidentally, or by a person who isn't quite used to it, the door could slam shut and shut you out. You can usually get in by knocking the door frame or the letterbox. But this isn't the best option. If your uPVC door has a snib lock We recommend replacing the handle with a modern E-LOK 7-Series smart lock. They can be retrofitted to pull handle kits that double turn and come with cover plates to conceal existing holes for a seamless install. The E-LOK application can be used to open doors with RFID cards or mechanical keys. Passcodes are also available to ensure security and convenience. The system has been tested for 200,000 cycles to ensure durability. The handles are made of solid metal and meet BS EN 1670 Grade 5 for corrosion resistance. Lever/Moveable Pad This is a popular handle style for front doors. It has the benefit of preventing the door from being opened from the outside without a key if the lock is not deadlocked. This is accomplished through an external 'pad' handle that locks into the gap between the handles and lock case to prevent the latch from being withdrawn or the door being opened. This type of handle is designed for uPVC doors with multipoint locks which operate via split spindle technology. This type of operation requires that the lever handle and external pad handle both be fitted to the same lock case. This can be a simple replacement of the current uPVC handle, but it could also require a new lock case or a new set to handle furniture. These levers/movable pad door handles are suitable for uPVC doors. They feature a maintenance free slide bearing as well as spring cassettes, and fixing lugs supplied. They have a euro profile cut out and are installed to a variety of uPVC and timber doors. Lever-movable pads are available in a variety of finishes to can be used with a variety of multipoint locks. They are designed to work with split spindle multipoint locks with a 92mm cylinder and require a specific split spindle set as supplied by the lock manufacturer.

Lever/Moveable Snib The lever handle is among the most sought-after kinds of door handles made from upvc and comes in a range of styles. It consists of two inline handles that move and is lockable with either a key or thumbturn cylinder inside. A pad handle is an alternative to a lever/lever handle and consists of a fixed or movable pad that can be used to operate the lock. These Fullex handles are sprung lever pads with snibs that can be triggered to secure the latch.
