Types of UPVC Door Handles It's important to choose the correct replacement Upvc handle for your home when your handles made of upvc require replacement. A locksmith can provide and install high-security uPVC door 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). Take these measurements to make sure your new uPVC handle will fit. Lever/Lever A lever is a rigid rod that pivots around the point. When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum will tend to move in the direction of the force is applied. This rotation multiplies your force and allows you to lift or move things that would otherwise require more force to lift. The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the most effective movement. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage increases when the lever is extended. You can calculate mechanical advantage by dividing distance from fulcrum point to the place where you are applying force by the distance between the fulcrum point and end of lever. Levers can produce different effects based on the method by which forces are applied. For instance a lever of class 2 is inclined to turn in the opposite direction as the force applied to it (like a totter-totter). If you push on the handle of a door and force it to open, the forces will cause rotational effects similar to this. However, levers don't create energy. Levers increase the force by making small amounts of effort applied over a longer distance into greater amounts of force that are applied over shorter distances. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and transport large amounts of cargo. This is also the basis behind the levers you find in a variety of everyday tools like crowbars and fishing rods, hammer claws and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your car. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles, also known as upvc door handle s, feature levers on both sides to operate the multipoint locks. They come in a variety of designs and finishes and can be used with a variety of materials including UPVC, Aluminium & Timber doors. They are sold in pairs for both the outside and the interior doors, with spindles and screws included. They are available in both hand- and non-handled versions to accommodate different types of users. They are typically used for new constructions and can be fitted to replace doors made of upvc. They are typically operated by lifting up the levers to throw all of the multipoint locks, and turning the key to close or unlock. They provide a bit more security than the standard lever handles for doors since locking is only done by the inside using keys. They're not as secure as a cylinder bolt however they are a reasonable alternative to add security. The only disadvantage is that they do not offer the same level of protection as a cylinder lock and therefore don't block access to the home if the door is left open. The majority of lever pad door handles made of upvc that we have in stock are manufactured by the industry's leading manufacturers and therefore are constructed using high quality components. They also come with a manufacturer's guarantee. Typically, they will be designed to be compatible with a 92mm lock, or the replacement version of this called a Paddock lock. They will have an 82mm cylinder center on the inside, and 62mm on the outside. They also come with two spindle followers. Some are fitted with the back plate whilst others are removable to allow for different fixing centres. Lever/Snib Lever latches, the simplest of door handles are used. The lever is pulled down to operate a simple latch inside the door that can be locked using a key. Certain lever privacy handles operate in the same way, however with an additional snib, similar to a doorknob. A snib-button can be extremely useful, particularly for homes where it's crucial to ensure privacy or security. If your partner arrives home late from work, you can apply the snib so that they won't be able to enter until they're ready in. This type handle can also be used for doors in the interior, like those in bedrooms where you want to restrict access from outside. In certain situations there are instances where snib buttons could cause problems, particularly when you have older locks or doors that are distorted. If the snib switch is accidentally pressed, or by a person who isn't familiar with it, the door could be slammed and you locked out. You can usually gain entry by knocking the door frame or the letterbox. However this isn't a good idea. If your uPVC door is equipped with a snib-button it is recommended to replace the handle with an modern E-LOK 7-Series smart lock. They can be retrofitted to double turn pull handle kits and are available with cover plates to hide existing holes, to make it a seamless installation. The E-LOK makes use of a smart application to allow you to open the door with RFID cards or mechanical keys, and can be set up with passcodes for safe entry and convenience. The system has been tested for 200,000 cycles to ensure durability. The handles are made of solid metal and are in compliance with BS EN 1670 Grade 5 for resistance to corrosion. Lever/Moveable Pad This popular style of handle is used for front doors. It offers the benefit of preventing the door from being opened without an outside key when the lock hasn't been deadlocked. This is accomplished by using the 'pad-shaped' handle that locks into the gap between the handle and the lock case. This kind of handle is made for uPVC doors that are fitted with multipoint locks which operate via a split spindle operation. This kind of operation requires the lever handle as well as the external pad handle to be mounted to the same lock case. It could be a simple replacement of the current uPVC handle, but it could also require a change in the lock case or a new set of handles to handle furniture. These aluminium lever/movable pads door handles are suitable to be used on uPVC and feature a maintenance-free slide bearing. They also come with fixing lugs, spring cassettes, and a non-stick slide bearing. The handles have a euro-profile cut out, and can be fitted to a variety of uPVC or timber doors. Lever moveable pads are offered in various finishes and suit many different multipoint locks. They are specifically designed to be used with split spindle locks with the 92mm cylinder as their centre and require a separate set of split spindles provided by the lock maker. These Hoppe London lever moveable pad handle 77G/3831N/113 are constructed of cast aluminum with an anodized surface that is corrosion resistant and scratch resistant. These handles can be used in conjunction with many other Hoppe products, such as patio door handles. french door handles, and window handles. They also have a security escutcheon. Lever/Moveable Snib The lever handles are among the most commonly used kinds of upvc door handles. They are available in various designs. It consists of two inline handles that move and can be locked using either a key or thumbturn cylinder that is inside. A pad handle is an alternative to a lever or lever handle. It is made up of an adjustable or fixed pad that can be used to control the lock. These Fullex handles have a sprung lever pad and a snib that can be activated in order to ensure the latch is held.
