Types of UPVC Door Handles

If your upvc door handle needs replacing it's essential to choose the correct replacement for your home. Locksmiths can provide and install high-security uPVC handles that come with additional security features.

The most important measurements are measurement A (known as PZ) and the length of the backplate (measurement F). Please check these measurements to ensure your new uPVC handles will fit.

Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid bar pivoted around a point (known as a fulcrum). When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum will move in the direction of the force is applied. This motion increases the force applied which allows 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 and the place where you apply the force determines how far the lever can move. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The greater the length of the lever the greater the advantage in terms of mechanical. You can determine the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point at which you are applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and where you will end the lever.

Levers can have a variety of effects based on how forces are applied. A lever of class 2, for example is prone to turning in the opposite direction once the force of the effort is applied. The forces created by pushing the handle of a front door can create rotational effects similar to these.

However, levers don't create energy. They simply increase the force you exert by changing a small amount of effort across a large distance into a larger amount of force that is applied over a smaller distance. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and move massive amounts of cargo. This is also the reason 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 car.

Lever/Pad

Lever pad handles, also referred to as upvc door handles, feature levers on both sides to operate the multipoint locks. They are available in a variety of variations and finishes, and are suitable for a variety of materials like UPVC, Aluminium & Timber doors. They are sold as a pair for the outer and inner door with spindles & screws included. They are also available in both handed and unhandled versions for different users.

They can be used to replace an existing upvc door. The levers are lowered to open all the multipoint locks and the key is turned to lock or close the door. They are more secure compared to traditional lever door handles because the locking window handles function can only be gained via the inside using an open key, unless the door is locked.

They're not as secure as a cylinder lock but they are a cost-effective way to add extra security to your home. The only disadvantage is that they don't provide the same level protection as a cylinder lock and they don't restrict access to the home if the door is left open.

We have a wide selection of lever pad upvc handles manufactured by leading manufacturers in the market. They will therefore be made from high-quality components. In general, they come with a manufacturer's guarantee.

Typically, they will be designed to work with a 92mm lock, or the replacement version known as a Paddock lock. They will have a 92mm cylinder centre on the inside and 62mm on the outside and be equipped with two spindle followers. Some are supplied with the backplate inserted, while others can be removed to accommodate different fixing centers.

Lever/Snib

Lever latches are by far the most simple type of door handles. By pressing down on the lever, it is a simple mechanism that opens inside the door to keep it shut, and can be locked using the use of a key. Some lever privacy handles operate using the same principle, but with the addition of a snib (like the doorknob).

A snib can be a very useful tool, particularly in homes where security and privacy are essential. If your partner arrives home late from work, you can use the snib so that they won't be able to enter until they're ready to come in. This type of handle can also be put in on interior doors such as those in bedrooms where you want to restrict access from outside.

Snib buttons can cause issues in some cases, especially when you have locks that are old and warped doors. If the snib is applied in a mistake or by someone who isn't accustomed to it, the door could close and lock you out. Most of the time, you can get in by knocking on the door's frame or the letterbox, but this isn't ideal.

If your upvc door locks and handles has an snib, we suggest replacing it with a smart lock from the E-LOK 7 Series. These smart locks can be retrofitted to double glazing window handles turn pull handle kits. They come with coverplates to hide holes that are already present to ensure an easy installation. The E-LOK app can be used to unlock doors with RFID cards or mechanical keys. Passcodes are also available for security and convenience. The system has been tested for 200,000 times to ensure long-lasting durability. The handles themselves are constructed using a solid metal structure and are BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 for resistance to corrosion.

Lever/Moveable Pad

This popular style of handle is commonly used on front doors. It is advantageous because it has the benefit of preventing the door being opened without an outside key in the event that the lock has not been deadlocked. This is achieved with an external handle that is shaped like a pad that locks into the gap between the handle and the lock case.

This handle is designed to work with uPVC multipoint locks that employ a split spindle mechanism. This type of operation requires the internal lever handle and the external pad handle to be mounted within the same lock case. This can be a simple replacement of the current uPVC handle, but it may also require a new lock case or a new set to handle furniture.

Lever-movable pads are available in a variety of finishes and suit many different multipoint locks. They are designed to work with split spindle locks with the 92mm cylinder as their centre and require a specific set of split spindles provided by the lock maker.
