The backplate fixing center and the keyhole/lever dimensions are the most important measurements. Compare these measurements to your existing measurements prior to placing an order. Lever/Pad Lever pad door handles are made up of a lever handle on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the other. These are designed for use with key wind locks. However they can also be attached to multipoint split spindle door locks. Once you have selected the right handle for your doors the finishes will be listed in the drop-down menu. Not all styles of handle are available in every finish though and it is recommended to check the technical drawings and sizes sections for the specific product you're looking for to ensure that you can get the right size and fit. When choosing new lever pad door handles made of upvc, it is essential to ensure that they correspond to the PZ (distance between the spindle of the handle and the centre of the cylinder hole) of your existing multipoint locks, since they have to be in line to ensure that the doors remain locked, whether from the inside or outside. Our handles are designed to fit most standard cylinders, but it is important to double-check before ordering. If you wish to upgrade to dual spindle levers, you'll need to take out the handles you have already installed and disassemble the lock case. This will require an extra split cylinder inline. You can purchase these separately. We have included a technical diagram in the images of each product. After you have removed the screws that are holding the handle on your door, it is an ideal idea to loosen them, and then inspect the mechanism to determine what condition it is in. If the screws aren't tight enough, you may need to loosen them even more. After that, you can take the spindle from the door handle and replace it with a new Upvc handle. Before you screw the handle into the frame, it is recommended to ensure that it is in the right place. You can do this by putting your finger in the space between the door frame and the door handle to make sure it is level. Lever/Lever The lever handles for doors are used to operate a multi-point lock using the Euro cylinder. They can be found on a variety of double upvc doors as well as aluminium and wooden doors. They are available in two varieties, with an interior lever and a paddle outside. Sprung – These include a spring cassette installed within the backplate, which helps bring the handle lever to the horizontal position. Non-sprung: These do not include a mechanism that can spring the handle lever to a horizontal angle. To fix a door handle that is sagging you must find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is typically a small round or rectangle with a protruding hole located on one side of the handle base plate. Once you've located it, you can loosen the set screw using the help of a screwdriver, and then remove it to allow the lever to return to its horizontal position. After the handle is set horizontally, it is possible to put back the screws. Tighten them to ensure that the handle stays fixed to the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the threads of screws to increase grip and prevent them from loosening over time. Drooping lever handles on door handles can be caused by many factors. The most common reason is that the fixings are too tight which causes the lever bearing to get tangled up against the door. It could also be due to the fact that the levers are not being operated in a straight line and this is compressing the latch mechanism preventing it from fully springing back into service. Another common reason is that the lever that is sprung is not working properly. This is typically due to the spring not being in the proper position within the backplate. The easiest way to test this is to move the handle to check whether it changes to the horizontal position. If your door handles are loose, it is essential to spot the issue fast, as this can lead to excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off the base plate. You should also tighten loose screws frequently to prevent them from becoming looser. Lever/Snib These handles made of upvc are also known as 'Snib' handles and have a snib button towards the top of the lever that you can push down to lock your door if you don't use a dummy lock.

Mortise If your front door's uPVC handle is stuck in the open position, the cause is most likely to be related to the tubular latch. This can be caused by various reasons but the most prevalent is a lack of lubrication in the latch plate. This can be corrected quickly by opening the door and spraying lubricant on the handle and lock. It could also be that the latch has come loose from the backplate. This is a more complex problem that would require a professional. A multipoint handle system is the best solution for stuck door handles. These handles mount through the door's faceplate and are operated by the thumb turn knob or key that activates an electronic cam that locks the deadbolt.
