Types of UPVC Door Handles

When your upvc door handle needs replacing upvc window handles it's essential to find the best replacement for your home. A locksmith can supply and fit high-security uPVC handles that come with additional security features.

The most important measurements to consider are the measurement A (also called PZ) as well as the length of the backplate. Take these measurements to make sure the new uPVC handle will fit.

Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid bar that is pivotally positioned around a point (known as a fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the lever it tends to rotate the fulcrum in the direction of the applied force. 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 advantage in mechanical terms increases as the lever gets extended. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point where you are applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and where you will end the lever.

Levers can produce different effects depending on the way forces are applied. A lever in class 2 for instance has a tendency of rotating in the opposite direction when the force of the effort is applied. If you push on the door handle, the forces will produce similar rotational effects to this.

However, levers don't create energy. Levers multiply the force by making small amounts of effort applied over a longer distance into larger amounts of force applied over shorter distances. This allows you to complete more work in a shorter period of time, and it is the reason why levers are frequently used for lifting heavy objects or moving large amounts of cargo. This is also the basis behind levers found in many everyday tools, such as crowbars, 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 type of upvc door handle with levers on both sides that operate the multipoint lock. These come in many variations 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 screws and spindles included. They are available both unhanded and handed versions to meet the needs of different users.

These are often used for new builds and can be fitted to replace existing doors made of upvc. The levers are raised to open the multipoint locks, and the key is turned to close or unlock the door. They provide a bit more security than the standard lever handles for doors, as the locking can only be done from the inside using the key.

They are not as secure as a cylinder bolt, but are an affordable alternative for a home with more security. The only disadvantage is that they don't provide the same level protection as a cylinder lock, and so don't prevent external access to your home if the door is left open.

The majority of lever pad door handles made of upvc that we stock are made by the leading manufacturers in the industry, and are constructed using high quality components. They are also typically supplied with a manufacturer's guarantee.

These are usually designed to work with the 92mm lock, or a replacement model called the 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 inserted into the back plate, while others are removable to allow for different fixing centers.

Lever/Snib

Lever latches, which are the simplest of door handles are commonly used. The lever is pulled down to open a latch inside the door that can be locked with a key. Some lever privacy handles operate similar to the doorknob, however with an additional snib, similar to a doorknob.

A snib button is extremely useful, particularly for homes where it's crucial to ensure privacy or security. If your partner is arriving at home late from work, you can use the snib so that they can't get in until they're ready to come in. This kind of handle is also popular in doors that are inside like bedrooms, where you might want to restrict access from the outside.

In certain situations the snib button can cause problems, particularly when you have doors and locks that are bent. If the snib button is accidentally pressed by someone who isn't familiar with it, your door may slam and lock you out. You can usually gain entry by knocking on the door frame or letterbox. But, this is not ideal.

If your uPVC has a snib we recommend replacing it with a smart lock from the E-LOK 7 Series. These smart locks can be retrofitted onto double turn pull handle kits. They are available with coverplates that conceal holes that are already present to ensure an effortless installation. The E-LOK app is able to unlock doors with RFID cards or mechanical key. Passcodes are also available to ensure security and convenience. The system has been tested to 200k cycles to ensure durability. The handles are constructed of solid metal and meet BS EN 1670 Grade 5 for resistance to corrosion.

Lever/Moveable Pad

This is a popular handle design for front doors. It has the advantage of keeping the door from being opened from the outside without a key, if the lock isn't deadlocked. This is achieved with a 'pad-shaped' external handle that locks into the gap between the handle and lock case.

This handle is designed to be used with uPVC multipoint locks which use split spindle mechanisms. This kind of operation requires the internal lever handle and the external pad handle to be installed within the same lock case. This can be a simple replacement of the current uPVC handle, but it could also require a new lock case or a new set to handle furniture.

These levers/movable pad handles are suitable for uPVC doors and feature an easy to maintain slide bearing as well as fixing lugs and spring cassettes included. The handles have a euro-profile cut out, and can be installed on many uPVC or timber doors.

Lever-movable pads are available in various finishes and suit many different multipoint locks. They are specifically designed to be used with split spindle locks which have an 92mm centre cylinder and require a separate set of split spindles that is supplied 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. They can be used with various other Hoppe products like Patio door handle door handles, french door handles and changing window handles handles. They come with a security escutcheon.

Lever/Moveable Snib

The lever handle is one of the most well-known kinds of door handles made from upvc and comes in a variety of styles. It consists of two inline handles that can be moved and locked by a thumbturn cylinder, or keys. A pad handle is an alternative to a lever or lever handle. It is made up of a fixed or movable pad that can be used to control the lock. These Fullex handles have a spring-loaded lever pad with a snib that can be turned on to hold the latch back.
