Types of UPVC Door Handles When your upvc door handle requires replacement, it is essential to find the right replacement for your home. Locksmiths can provide and fit high-security uPVC handles with added security features. The most important measurements to consider are the measurement A (also known as 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 pivoted around a point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply a force to the end of the lever, it will tend to rotate the fulcrum in the direction of the force applied. This motion increases the applied force, allowing you to lift or move something that would require more force if you tried to apply directly to the load. The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the most effective movement. This is called the mechanical advantage. The more the lever extends, the larger the advantage in terms of mechanical. You can calculate mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the point you apply force by the distance between the fulcrum point and end of the lever. Levers can produce different effects based on the method by which forces are applied. For example the class 2 lever is inclined to turn in the opposite direction when the force of effort is applied (like a totter-totter). If you press on the handle of a door the force will create rotational effects similar to this. However, levers don't create energy. They simply multiply the force you apply by making a small amount effort across a large distance into a greater amount of force applied over a smaller distance. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and transport massive amounts of cargo. This is also the basis behind the levers that are found in many everyday tools such as crowbars, fishing rods, hammer claws and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your vehicle. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles, also referred to as upvc door handles have levers on each side to operate the multipoint locks. These are available in various finishes and variations and can be installed on a wide range of materials such as UPVC doors, Aluminium doors & Timber Doors. They are sold in pairs for the inner and outer door, with screws and spindles included. They are also available in handed and unhanded versions for different users. These locks can be used to replace an existing upvc door. The levers are raised to open the multipoint locks and the key is turned to close or unlock the door. They are more secure when compared to lever handles for doors since the locking mechanism can only be gained via the inside using a key in the event that the door is locked. They're not as secure as a cylinder lock but they're a cost-effective way to provide extra security to your home. The only disadvantage is that they do not offer the same level of protection like a cylinder lock and they don't restrict access to the home when the door is left open. We stock a variety of lever pad upvc handles manufactured by leading manufacturers in the market. They are made from high-quality components. They are also typically supplied with a manufacturer's guarantee. They are typically designed to work with the 92mm lock, or a substitute version known as the Paddock Lock. They will have an 82mm cylinder center on the inside and 62mm on the outside. They also come 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 all door handles, are used. Pressing down on the lever triggers a simple latch mechanism inside to keep the door shut, and can be locked using keys. The levers for privacy are based on this same principle however, with the addition of an lock snib (like a doorknob). A snib is a extremely useful tool, particularly in homes where privacy and security are essential. You can use the snib button to stop your partner from entering until they are ready. This type handle can also be put in on interior doors such as those in bedrooms where you wish to restrict outside access. In certain situations there are instances where snib buttons could cause problems, particularly in the case of older locks and doors that are distorted. If the snib is used accidentally or by a person who isn't used to it, the door can close and shut you out. Usually, you can still be able to get in by knocking the door frame or letterbox, however this isn't a good idea. If your uPVC door has a snib button it is recommended to replace the handle with a modern E-LOK 7-Series smart lock. These smart locks can be retrofitted to double-turn pull handle kits. They come with coverplates that conceal the holes in the existing ones to ensure a seamless installation. The E-LOK makes use of a smart application to allow you to open the door using mechanical keys or RFID cards, and can be configured with passcodes for safe entry and convenience. The system has been tested for 200,000 cycles to ensure long-lasting durability. The handles are made from solid metal and comply with BS EN 1670 Grade 5 for resistance to corrosion. Lever/Moveable Pad This is a popular handle style for front doors. It comes with the advantage of preventing the door from being opened by the outside without a key, if the lock isn't deadlocked. This is achieved with the 'pad-shaped' handle that locks into the gap between the handle and lock case. This type of handle is designed to fit uPVC doors with multipoint locks that operate with split spindle operations. This type of operation requires that the internal lever handle and the external pad handle both be fitted to the same lock case. This could be a straightforward replacement of the existing uPVC handle, but it may also require a change in the lock case or a new set of handles to handle furniture. These aluminum levers and movable pads door handles are able to be used on uPVC and feature a maintenance-free slide bearing. They also come with fixing lugs spring cassettes, and a non-stick slide bearing. They have a euro profile cut out and can be installed to a variety of uPVC and timber doors. Lever moveable pads are offered in a variety of finishes and suit many different multipoint locks. They are designed to work with split spindle multipoint locks which have a 92mm cylinder centre and require a special split spindle set, as provided by the lock manufacturer.
