The most important measurements to consider are backplate fixing centres and key hole dimensions for levers and levers. Check these measurements against your current marks before making a purchase. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles consist of a lever on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the opposite. These are designed for use with key wind locks. However, they can be fitted to multipoint split spindle door locks. Once you have selected the appropriate handle for the doors, the finishes will be listed in the drop-down menu. Certain types of handles are not available in all finishes. It is recommended to examine the technical drawing and dimensions for the item that you want to ensure that you receive the right size and fit. It is crucial that when choosing a new set upvc lever pad handles, they match the PZ (distance from the handle spindle to the middle of the hole in the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because they must be lined up so that the doors remain locked, whether you are viewing them from the inside or outside. The handles we offer are designed to work with a variety of standard cylinder locks, however you should double-check prior to ordering. You'll need to remove your handles that you have already installed and then dismantle the lock case if you're upgrading to dual spindle handle levers because this will require an additional split cylinder inline. These can be bought separately and we have a full technical diagram that you can look at in the images for each product. It is a good idea to loosen the screws that are holding your door handle, and then examine the mechanism. It is possible that you will need to loosen the screws a bit more when they aren't tight. Then you can take off the old handle and spindle and install your new upvc door handle . It is crucial to make sure that the handle is in the correct position before installing it. You can do this by placing your finger between the frame, and the handle, to ensure that it's level. Lever/Lever The lever handles on doors are used to operate a multi-point lock using a Euro cylinder. They can be located on many double upvc doors as well as some wooden and aluminum doors. They come in two types, with an interior lever and a paddle outside. Sprung – These have a spring cassette inside the backplate, which helps to bring the handle lever into an upright position. Non-sprung: They do not include a mechanism that can spring the handle lever into a horizontal position. To repair a door handle lever that is sagging, you'll need to find the detent access pin or hole. This is usually a small hole or protruding ring or rectangle located on the handle base plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you can remove it with the help of a screwdriver. Once the handle is in a horizontal position, you can re-install the screws and tighten them so that the handle remains fixed to the base plate. You should also consider applying a threadlocking adhesive to the screw threads to improve the grip and stop them from loosening over time. There are a myriad of reasons why door handles of levers drop. The most frequent cause is that the fixings are too tight, causing the lever bearing to bind up against the door. It could also be because the levers are not being operated in a straight line and this is causing compression of the latch mechanism preventing it from fully springing back into service. Another common reason is that the lever that is sprung is not operating correctly and this is usually due to the sprung not being in the proper position within the backplate. To determine whether the handle has returned to its horizontal position, simply turn it. If your door handles are loose, it is important to identify the problem quickly, as this could lead to excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all screws that are loose regularly in order to prevent them from loosening. Lever/Snib These upvc door handles are also referred to as handle sets with a 'Snib' and have a snib lever towards the top of the lever that can be pressed down to lock your door in the event that you don't use a fake lock.

Mortise If your front door's uPVC handle is stuck in the open position, the problem is most likely to be related to the tubular latch. There could be a variety of factors that could cause this, the most common being a simple lack of lubrication on the latch plate. It is possible to solve this problem by opening the door, spraying lubricant onto the handle and locking. It could also be that the latch is loose from the backplate. This is a more difficult problem that would require an expert. A multipoint handle is the best solution for stuck door handles.
