Types of UPVC Door Handles

If your upvc door handle requires replacement, it is essential to find the best replacement for your home. A locksmith can supply and install high-security uPVC handles with extra security features.

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

Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around an object. When you apply force to the end of the lever it will tend to rotate the fulcrum to the direction of the applied force. This rotation multiplies the force applied and allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you were to apply directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever can be moved. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The greater the length of the lever the greater the mechanical advantage. You can calculate 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 have different effects depending on the way the force is applied. For instance a lever of class 2 has a tendency to turn in the opposite direction when the force applied to it (like a T-totter). The forces produced by pushing on the handle of a front door can produce rotational effects that are similar to these.

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 smaller distances. This allows you to accomplish more in less time, and that is why levers are commonly used to lift heavy objects or moving large amounts of cargo. This is also the reason behind levers found in many everyday tools like crowbars, fishing rods, hammer claws and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your vehicle.

Lever/Pad

Lever pad handles are a kind of upvc door handle that has levers on both sides to operate the multipoint lock. These come in many variations and finishes, and are suitable for a variety of materials, including UPVC, Aluminium & Timber doors. They are sold in pairs for the inner and exterior door, with spindles and screws included. They are also available in hand and unhanded versions for different types of users.

These locks can be used to replace upvc window handle the existing doors made of upvc. They are typically operated by lifting the levers to throw out all of the multipoint locks before turning the key to close / unlock. They provide additional security in comparison to lever handles for doors since the locking mechanism can only be gained from the inside with a key in the event that the door is locked.

They are not as safe as a cylinder lock, but they're cost-effective ways to increase the security of your home. The only downside is that they don't offer the same level of protection as a cylinder bolt, and therefore won't prevent access from outside when the door is left open.

The majority of the lever pad upvc door handles we offer are manufactured by leading manufacturers in the industry, and are constructed using high quality components. In general, they come with a manufacturer's guarantee.

They are typically designed to work with the 92mm lock or a substitute version known as a Paddock Lock. They will have a 92mm centre cylinder on the inside and 62mm on the outside and be fitted with 2 spindle followers. Some are inserted into the back plate whilst others can be removed to enable different fixing centres.

Lever/Snib

Lever latches are by far the most simple kind of door handles. By pressing down on the lever, it triggers a simple latch mechanism inside to keep the door closed. It can also be locked using a key. Some lever privacy handles operate based on this same principle however, with the addition of a Snib (like a doorknob).

A snib button is very beneficial, especially in homes where it's essential to ensure privacy or security. If your spouse is expected to arrive at home late from work, you can apply the snib so that they aren't allowed in until they're ready to come in. This type handle is also used in interior doors such as bedrooms, where you may need to restrict access from the outside.

In some cases there are instances where snib buttons could cause problems, especially when you have older locks and doors that are bent. If the snib switch is accidentally pressed or by someone who isn't familiar with it, the door could shut and lock you out. Most of the time, you can be able to get in by knocking the door's frame or letterbox, however this isn't ideal.

If your uPVC door is equipped with a snib-button, we recommend replacing the handle with an modern E-LOK 7-Series smart lock. These smart locks can be retrofitted to double-turn pull handle kits. They are available with coverplates to hide existing holes for an easy installation. The E-LOK app is able to unlock doors with RFID cards or mechanical keys.

The handles themselves are constructed with a solid-metal construction and are BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 for corrosion resistance.

Lever/Moveable Pad

This is a well-known handle style for front doors that has the benefit of preventing the door from opening from the outside without a key, if the lock is not deadlocked. This is achieved by using a 'pad-shaped' external brompton carry handle that locks into the gap between the handle and the lock case.

This handle is designed to work with uPVC multipoint locks which use a split spindle mechanism. This kind of operation requires the internal lever handle as well as the external pad handle to be fitted within the same lock case. It could be a simple replacement of the current uPVC handle, but it may also require a lock case change or a new set to handle furniture.
