Types of UPVC Door Handles

When your upvc door handle needs replacing it's essential to find the right replacement double glazing handles for your home. A locksmith can provide and install high-security uPVC door handles with extra security features.

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

Lever/Lever

A lever is a solid bar pivoted around a point (known as a Fulcrum). When you apply force towards the end, the fulcrum will tend to move in the direction of the force is applied. This motion increases the force and lets you lift or move objects that would normally require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum and the place where you apply the force determines how far the lever can be moved. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The advantage in mechanical terms increases when the lever is extended. You can determine the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point at which you're applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and the end of the lever.

Levers can produce different effects depending on the way forces are applied. For instance the class 2 lever has a tendency to turn in the opposite direction when the effort force is applied (like a totter-totter). The forces generated by pushing on the handle for patio door of a front door can produce rotational effects that are similar to these.

However, levers don't create energy. Levers increase the force by making small amounts of effort applied over a long distance into greater amounts of force applied over smaller distances. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and move huge quantities of cargo. This is also the reason behind the levers that are found in many everyday tools such as crowbars, fishing rods claws for hammers and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your vehicle.

Lever/Pad

Lever pad handles are a form of upvc door handle that has levers on both sides that operate the multipoint lock. They are available in a variety of finishes & variations and can be used on a variety of materials such as UPVC doors, Aluminium doors & Timber Doors. They are sold as a pair for the inner and outer door, with screws and spindles included. They are available both hand- and non-handled versions to suit different users.

These locks can be used to replace the existing upvc door. The levers are lifted to open all 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 since locking can only be performed from the inside using the key.

They are not as secure as a cylinder bolt but are a reasonable option to provide extra home security. The only disadvantage is that they don't provide the same level of security as a cylinder lock and so don't prevent external access to your home if the door is left open.

The majority of the lever pad upvc door handles that we offer are manufactured by leading manufacturers in the industry, and are made from high quality components. They are also typically supplied with a manufacturers guarantee.

Typically, these 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 exterior and be fitted with 2 spindle followers.

Lever/Snib

Lever latches are the most basic kind of door handles. By pressing down on the lever, it operates a simple latch mechanism inside to keep the door closed, which can be locked using a key. Some lever privacy handles work in the same way, but with a second snib, similar to a doorknob.

A snib button is very beneficial, especially for homes where it's important to maintain privacy or security. You can use the snib feature to block your guest from entering until they are prepared. This type handle can also be put in on doors inside, such as those in bedrooms where you wish to restrict outside access.

Snib buttons may cause problems in certain circumstances, especially when you have old upvc door handles locks and doors that are warped. If the snib button was accidentally pressed, or by someone who isn't familiar with it, your door may slam and lock you out. You can usually gain entry by knocking the door frame or the letterbox. However this isn't a good idea.

If your uPVC has an snib, we suggest replacing window handles it with an electronic lock from the E-LOK 7 Series.

Lever/Moveable Pad

This is a popular handle design for front doors that has the advantage of keeping the door from opening by the outside without a key if the lock isn't deadlocked. This is achieved by the 'pad'-shaped external handle which locks in the gap between the handles and the lock case to prevent the latch from being pulled back or the door being opened.

This handle is designed to work 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 fitted to the same lock case. It could be a simple replacement for the current uPVC handle, however it could also require a lock case change or a new set to handle furniture.
