Inline Lever/Lever
A lever handle is a modern-day door handle designed to work with new or replacement doors. This type of handle is available in many designs and finishes. A number of manufacturers make this handle, including Avocet ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale.
Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle
The handles made of uPVC/Composite are made from durable materials, and are ideal for doors with multiple points that require a robust design. The changing window handles are inline and work with the same spindle as well as screw fixings, so they are easily installed on doors made of uPVC/Composite, either new or old.
The spring lever design allows the handle to be set and angled to ensure a comfortable experience and is suitable for all users. The handle has been tested to 200 000 cycles. This helps ensure that the quality of finish tilt and turn window handles performance is maintained over time. The sprung lever is also adjustable to fit a broad range of locks. This is particularly useful in doors with smaller door frames in which the cylinder is further back. A shortened lever is also a good choice for doors where the latch can be operated by a thumb turn located on the inside.
Lever Pad
The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles found on most doors. These handle types can either operate from a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two offset or inline spindles (pad). They are generally used on UPVC double glazed window handles-glazed doors and come in a variety of styles and styles.
The handles have been tested to at least 200k cycles and are available in several finishes including White, Silver, Chrome & Gold. The finish is compliant with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, thereby giving the handle a high level of durability and performance for its intended use.
All UPVC levers for handles include a spindle and screws and can be installed on a uPVC door. The backplate fixation centers of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is typically a benefit when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. These handle levers have springs, which can solve the problem of handles for doors that slide out of horizontal position when not being used.
When choosing a replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is important to match the dimensions of the PZ of the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement is also called the "handle centre" or "cylinder centres and is an essential aspect of matching up the right handles.
When you have the right PZ size you will then have to ensure that the handle lever pads and push pads are a appropriate shape to accommodate the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved handles you need for your doors. They are usually a square or round shape, with an internal lever as well as an external push pad.
The majority of UPVC lever pads that we sell are sprung, meaning that they will return to their horizontal position after not being used, instead of hanging out and possibly sticking in the frame. This stops draughts and cold air from entering a home. You will also find that the majority of the UPVC lever pad handles are handed that allows you to put them on either side of the door.
Euro Cylinder
Cylinder locks are commonly used on uPVC doors, but they can be utilized on other types of door. They operate by using a key to unlock a cylinder case that then reveals pins which can be aligned with those inside the lock body, allow them to rotate the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins with both internal and external doors typically requiring different levels of security.
The choice of the correct cylinder is crucial; it is contingent on how your doors and handle are utilized. Doors that are external, for instance should be equipped with cylinders that are more secure, whereas doors inside can be secured with an ordinary cylinder. In addition, some cylinders have extra features that increase security even more, like anti-drill or anti-bump features.
To ensure that the euro cylinder is the right size for your door, it should be measured correctly. The cylinder should be measured from the central fixing screw hole to each end of the cylinder including the thumb turn if you have one. It is best to do this with the lock in place however if this is not possible, you may remove it to take measurements. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks such as lock snapping, so it is important that it's not too long.
The design of many modern cylinders has anti-drilling and bump resistance features. These are designed to reduce the chance of a attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in a different direction. This will help to stop the attack and ensure your doors are secure.
Certain cylinders are constructed to resist snapping. This is a typical attack on cylinders. A specific tool is used to break the break line of the lock, and then the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is a faster and simpler method to gain access than through the use of a multipoint locking system. It also leaves less evidence of the burglary which can hinder insurance claims.
Spring Cassette
The spring cassette is positioned inside the base of your door handle backplate, supplying a spring-loaded solution and returning the multipoint lock handles back to their rest position after usage. In the past, a lot of handles of this kind didn't have a spring built into them, and as a result, they are more likely to slide or drop when the locking mechanism is disengaged. The addition of this simple element is one of the best ways to correct this and it is also an effective way to keep your doors made of upvc from becoming stuck in either closed or open position, as these are not always easy to close manually.
