Replacement UPVC Door Handles

If you're replacing your handles or need to add extra security, you'll choose the perfect handle for your door. These handles made of upvc are easy to install and will meet the required 92mm center distance of multipoint locks.

The backplate fixing center and the lever/keyhole dimensions are the most important measurements. Make sure you compare these to your current measurements prior to ordering.

Lever/Pad

Lever pad handles consist of a lever on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the other. They are designed to work with key wind locks although they can also be fitted to split spindle multipoint door locks (though you will need a separate dual spindle lock case).

Once you have chosen the right handle for your doors, the finishes will be listed in the drop-down menu. Not all styles of handle are available in every finish and you should always look over the sizes and technical drawings for the particular product you want to make sure that you can get the correct size and fitting.

It is crucial that when choosing the new set of upvc lever pad handles, they are in line with the PZ (distance from the handle spindle to the middle of the hole of the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because these must be lined up for the doors to stay locked, whether you are looking from the inside or from the outside. Our window handles are designed to fit most standard cylinders, however it is always worth double-checking prior to purchasing.

If you want to upgrade to dual spindle levers, you will need to remove the existing handles and take apart the lock case. This will require an extra split inline cylinder. They can be purchased separately, and we provide a full technical diagram that you can look at in the images for each product.

Once you have removed the screws that hold your existing door handle it is recommended to loosen them and inspect the mechanism to determine how it's performing. You may have to loosen the screws a bit more when they aren't tight, and then you can take off the spindle and handle and install your new upvc door handle. It is crucial to make sure that the handle is in the proper position before fixing it. You can do this by placing your finger between the frame of the door and the handle, to ensure that it's level.

Lever/Lever

The lever door handles are used to operate a multi-point lock that uses an Euro cylinder. They can be located on many double upvc doors, as well as on some aluminium window handle and wooden doors. They have a lever on the inside and a paddle on the outside and are usually supplied in two varieties. Sprung - these include a spring cassette within the backplate to help bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. Non-sprung - these do not have a spring mechanism, and will require manual pulled to bring the window handle upvc lever to the horizontal position.

To fix the door handle lever that is sliding, you'll need to find the hole or detent access pin. It's typically an insignificant hole or protruding ring or rectangle that is located on the base of the handle plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you are able to take it out using a screwdriver.

Once the handle is in a horizontal orientation, you can re-install the screws and tighten them until the handle stays secured to the base plate. It is also recommended to apply an adhesive that locks the screw threads to improve the grip and stop them from loosing over time.

There are a myriad of reasons why door handles of levers droop. The most common reason is that the fixings aren't tight which causes the lever bearing to bind against the door. It could also be due to the fact that the levers aren't operated in a straight line and this is causing compression of the latch mechanism preventing it from fully springing back into operation.

A common cause of a spring lever not operating correctly is the spring not being in the proper position on the backplate. The simplest way to check this is to turn the handle to check whether it changes to the horizontal position.

It is important to repair any loose door handles immediately. This could cause excessive wear on the screws and the handle could fall off the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten loose screws frequently to stop them from becoming looser.

Lever/Snib

These upvc handles are also called "Snib handle sets" and come with a snib lock button at the top of the door lever. If you don't have a dummy locking device you can use this to secure the door. They usually come with a Fullex 68PZ (that's 68mm between the spindle centre and lever or the lock centre) door lock. We also stock a range of door handles with 68PZ from brands like Ferco and Fab & Fix.

The replacement of your door handle is a cheap way to update your home, whether you're replacing handles that are in use or fitting new ones on doors you've built in your house. There are a variety of upvc door handle available, including traditional lever on backplate, curved or straight short latches and knob handles with dummy handles for multi point locks, which are perfect for French doors.

Lever on backplate handles are usually rectangular, but you can also find oval or circular versions, which are known as rose door handles. These handles for doors are identified by a lever or knob that is attached to a backplate. The backplate is removable for concealed fixing.

There are a wide range of chrome and coloured finishes available for these handles that complement your door and other hardware, such as bolts, knobs and hinges. Some handles come with grub screw to attach the knob or lever to the spindle. Other handles come with bathroom spindles that can be used to control bathroom locks and feature a thumbturn turn as well as a release mechanism, perfect to use on doors for bathrooms.

Mortise

If your uPVC front door handle is stuck in the open position, the cause is likely to be due to the tubular latch. It could be due to many things but the most prevalent is an absence of lubrication within the latch plate. This can be corrected easily by opening the door and spraying lubricant on the lock and handle. It could also be that the latch has slipped away from the backplate. This is a more complex problem that would require a professional.

A multipoint handle is the best solution for a stuck door handle. The handles are inserted into the door's faceplate and are operated with an actuated thumb turn knob or key that activates an electronic cam that locks the deadbolt. The handles come in a variety of sizes to fit various types of uPVC patio door handle locks and in a variety of attractive finishes that are compatible with the hardware that is currently in use. These handles can be purchased on the internet or through the local locksmith and can be installed with clear instructions.

You'll have to know your cylinder's PZ size in order to select the appropriate replacement handle set. This is the distance from the edge of the frame of the door to the center point of the hole for the handle in millimetres. It is also important to be aware of whether your door has a hook style lock or a mortise style lock. Once you have these measurements, the easiest method to locate the correct handles is to filter by brand on the website. This will narrow down your options and you can then choose the right size from there.

A typical set of handles includes a handle unit comprising two screws of different lengths, drill guides, and installation instructions.
