Types of UPVC Door Handles If your door handle made of uPVC is in need of replacement, it's important to find the best replacement for your home. Locksmiths can provide and install high-security uPVC handles with added security features. The most important measurements you should take are the measurement A (also called PZ) and the length of the backplate. Please check these measurements to ensure that your new uPVC handles will fit. Lever/Lever A lever is a rigid rod that pivots around a point. When you apply force to the end of the lever it tends to rotate the fulcrum in the direction of the applied force. This motion increases the force and lets you lift or move objects that normally require more force to lift. The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever can move. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever is extended more, the greater the advantage in terms of mechanical. You can calculate mechanical advantage by dividing distance from fulcrum point to the point you apply force by the distance between the fulcrum's point and the end of the lever. Levers also have various effects based on the way in which forces are applied. A lever in class 2 for instance has a tendency of rotating in the opposite direction when the effort force is applied. The forces created by pushing the handle of a front door can produce rotational effects that are similar to these. However, levers don't create energy. They simply increase the force you apply by changing a small amount of effort applied over a long distance into a larger amount of force that is applied over a smaller distance. This is what enables you to accomplish more in a shorter amount of time, and it is why levers are often used for lifting heavy objects or moving large amounts of cargo. This is also the principle behind levers found in many everyday tools, such as crowbars and fishing rods, claws for hammers and even your own legs when you stand on the hand brake of your car. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles are a kind of door handle made from UPVC that has levers on both sides to operate the multipoint lock. These come in many variations and finishes and can be used with 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 handed and unhanded versions for different users. These locks can be used to replace the existing doors made of upvc. The levers are raised to open the multipoint locks, and the key is turned to lock or close the door. They offer a little more security than the standard lever handles for doors, as the locking can only be performed by the inside using keys. They're not as secure as a cylinder bolt, but are an affordable alternative for a home with more security. The only downside is that they don't offer the same level of security as a cylinder bolt and consequently don't block access to outside when the door is left open. The majority of lever pad upvc door handles we have in stock are manufactured by the leading manufacturers in the industry, and will be manufactured with good quality components. They are also generally supplied with a manufacturers guarantee. They are typically designed to work with the 92mm lock or a replacement model called a Paddock Lock. They will feature an 82mm cylinder centre on the inside and 62mm on the outside. They are also fitted with two spindle followers. Some are supplied with the backplate in place, while others can be removed to accommodate different fixing centers. Lever/Snib Lever latches, the simplest of door handles are used. The lever is pushed downwards to operate a simple latch inside the door that can be locked using keys. Some lever privacy handles operate using the same principle however, with the addition of the Snib (like knobs for doors). A snib-button can be extremely useful, particularly in homes where it's essential to ensure privacy or security. If your partner arrives at home late from work, you can apply the snib so that they aren't allowed in until they're ready in. This kind of handle is also popular in interior doors, such as bedrooms, where you may want to restrict access from outside. Snib buttons can cause issues in certain situations, particularly when you have locks that are old and warped doors. If the snib button is accidentally pressed, or by someone who isn't familiar with it, the door may shut and lock you out. In most cases, you can gain entry by knocking on the door frame or letterbox, but this isn't the best option. If your uPVC has a snib we recommend replacing it with an electronic lock from the E-LOK 7 Series. These smart locks can be retrofitted onto double turn pull handle kits. They come with coverplates to hide holes that are already present to make it an effortless installation. The E-LOK uses a smart app to allow you to open the door using mechanical keys or RFID cards, and can be configured with passcodes for secure entry and convenience. The system is tested to 200 000 cycles to ensure long-term durability. The handles are constructed of solid metal and comply with 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 keeping the door from opening from outside without a key, if the lock is not deadlocked. This is achieved by using the 'pad-shaped' handle that locks into the gap between the handle and the lock case. This type of handle is designed for uPVC doors that are fitted with multipoint locks that operate with a split spindle operation. This type of operation requires the lever handle and the external pad handle to be installed within the same lock case. This can be a simple replacement of the existing uPVC handle, however it could also require a new lock case or a new set to handle furniture. These aluminum lever/movable pads door handles are suitable to be used on uPVC and come with an unmaintained slide bearing. They also come with fixing lugs spring cassettes and an unstick slide bearing. These handles feature a cut-out for a euro-profile, and can be fitted to various uPVC or timber doors. The lever-movable pad is available in a variety of styles to match a wide selection of multipoint locks. They are designed to work with split spindle locks which have a centre cylinder of 92mm and require a specific set of split spindles that is supplied by the manufacturer of the lock. These Hoppe London 77G/3831N/113 lever moveable pad handles are manufactured from cast aluminium with an anodised finish which is resistant to corrosion and has high scratch resistance. These handles can be used combination with other Hoppe products, including patio door handles. french door handles and window handles. They also include an escutcheon for security. Lever/Moveable Snib The lever/lever handle is one of the most sought-after kinds of door handles made from upvc and comes in a range of designs. It has two inline handles that move and can be locked with either a key or a thumbturn cylinder on the inside. A pad handle can be used as a substitute to lever handles. It is comprised of one that is fixed or moveable that can be used to operate locks. These Fullex handles have a spring-loaded lever pads that have a snib that can be activated to secure the latch.
