Types of UPVC Door HandlesIt is crucial to select the appropriate replacement Upvc handle for your home if handles are in need of replacement. Locksmiths can provide and install high-security uPVC handles with extra security features.The most important measurements to consider are the measurement A (also known as PZ) and the length of the backplate. Check these measurements to ensure your new uPVC handles will fit.Lever/LeverA lever is a rigid bar that pivots around a central point (known as a Fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the lever it is likely to cause it to turn the fulcrum to the direction of the force. This motion increases the applied force, allowing you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you were to apply it directly to the load.The distance between the fulcrum to the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever is able to move. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases as the lever gets extended. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum until the point at which you're applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and where you will end the lever.Levers can also have different effects based on the way in which forces are applied. A lever in class 2, for example, has a tendency of rotating in the opposite direction once the effort force is applied. The forces created by pushing the handle of a front door can produce rotational effects that are similar to those.However, levers don't create energy. They simply multiply the force you exert by making a small amount effort applied over a long distance into a greater amount of force applied over a shorter distance. This is what allows you to accomplish more in a shorter period of time, and that is why levers are often used to lift heavy objects or moving large quantities of cargo. This is also the principle behind levers found in many everyday tools, such as crowbars, fishing rods hammer claws and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your vehicle.Lever/PadLever pad handles, also referred to as upvc door handles, have levers on each side to operate the multipoint locks. These are available in various finishes and designs and can be used on a variety of materials, including UPVC doors, Aluminium doors & Timber Doors. They are sold as a pair for the outer and inner door with spindles & screws included. They are available in both hand- and non-handled versions to meet the needs of different users.They are typically used for new builds and can be fitted to replace doors made of upvc. The levers are lifted to open all the multipoint locks and the key is turned to close or unlock the door. They offer a little more security than the standard lever handles for doors, as the locking is only done through the inside with the key.They're not as secure as a cylinder bolt but are an affordable alternative for a home with more security. The only disadvantage is that they don't have the same level of security as a cylinder bolt and therefore don't stop external access when the door is left open.We stock a variety of lever pad upvc handles manufactured by leading manufacturers in the field. They will therefore be made from high-quality components. In general, they come with a manufacturer's warranty.Typically, these will be designed to work with a 92mm lock or the replacement version of this called a Paddock lock. They will feature an 82mm cylinder centre on the inside and 62mm on the outside. They also come with two spindle followers. Some are inserted into the back plate whilst others are movable to enable different fixing centres.Lever/SnibLever latches are by far the most simple kind of door handles. The lever is pulled down to operate a simple latch inside the door that can be locked with keys. Some lever privacy handles operate in the same way, but with the addition of the Snib (like a doorknob).A snib can be a very useful tool, especially in homes where security and privacy are crucial. You can use the snib feature to block your guest from entering until they are ready. This kind of handle is also popular in doors that are inside, such as bedrooms, where you may require a lock to prevent access from outside.Snib buttons can cause problems in some cases, especially when you have locks that are old and warped doors. If the snib button is used accidentally or by a person who isn't accustomed to it, the door may slam shut and shut you out. Most of the time, you can gain entry by knocking on the door frame or the letterbox, but this isn't the best option.If your uPVC door has a snib button, we recommend replacing the handle with an modern E-LOK 7-Series smart lock. These smart locks can be retrofitted to double turn pull handle kits. They are available with coverplates that hide existing holes to ensure a seamless installation. The E-LOK app can be used to unlock doors using RFID cards or a mechanical keys. Passcodes are also available to ensure security and convenience. The system has been tested to 200,000 cycles to ensure long-term durability. The handles are made from solid metal and meet BS EN 1670 Grade 5 for corrosion resistance.Lever/Moveable PadThis is a popular handle design for front doors. It has the benefit of keeping the door from opening from the outside without keys if the lock isn't deadlocked. This is achieved by a 'pad' shaped external handle which locks in the gap between the handles and the lock case to stop the latch from being withdrawn or the door being opened.This kind of handle is designed for uPVC doors that are fitted with multipoint locks that operate using split spindle operations. This kind of operation requires the lever handle and the external pad handle to be fitted on the same lock case. This can be a simple replacement of the current uPVC handle, however it could also require a change in the lock case or a brand new set to handle furniture.These aluminium lever/movable pad door handles are ideal for uPVC doors and come with an easy to maintain slide bearing, spring cassettes, and fixing lugs supplied.
