Types of UPVC Door Handles It is crucial to select the correct replacement upvc handle for your home if handles are in need of replacement Locksmiths can supply and install highsecurity uPVC door handles that come with additional 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 make sure your new uPVC handles will fit LeverLever A lever is a rigid bar pivoted around a point known as a the fulcrum When you apply force to the end of the lever it is likely to cause it to turn the fulcrum in the direction of the force This motion increases the force applied allowing you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you tried to apply it directly to the load The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the maximum amount of movement This is referred to as the mechanical advantage The advantage of mechanical force increases as the lever is extended You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing distance from the fulcrum point to the point at which you are applying force by the distance between the fulcrum point and end of lever Levers can produce different effects based on the method by which forces are applied A class 2 lever for instance is prone to rotating in the opposite direction once the force of the effort is applied The forces created by pushing the handle of a front door will produce rotational effects that are similar to these However levers dont create energy They simply multiply the force you exert by changing a small amount of effort over a large distance into a greater amount of force applied over a smaller distance Levers are used to lift heavy objects and move huge amounts of cargo This is also the basis behind levers found in many everyday tools like crowbars fishing rods hammer claws and even your own legs when you stand on the hand brakes of your car LeverPad Lever pad handles are a form of door handle made from UPVC with 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 outside and the interior doors with spindles and screws included They are also available in hand and unhandled versions for different types of users These locks can be used to replace the existing upvc door The levers are raised to open all the multipoint locks and the key is turned to lock or close the door They are more secure in comparison to traditional lever door handles as the locking operation can only be accessed via the inside using an open key unless the door is deadlocked Theyre not as secure as a cylinder bolt however they are an affordable alternative for a home with more security The only downside is that they dont have the same level of security like a cylinder bolt and consequently dont block access to outside when the door is left open We stock a large number of lever pad upvc handles made by top manufacturers in the market They are made with high quality components In general they are supplied with a manufacturers warranty They usually are designed to work with the 92mm lock or a replacement version called the Paddock Lock wwwrepairmywindowsanddoorscouk will feature a cylinder with 82mm diameter on the inside and 62mm on the outside They are also fitted with two spindle followers Some come with a backplate inserted while others are removable for different fixing centers LeverSnib Lever latches are the most basic of all door handles are utilized Pushing down on the lever triggers a simple latch mechanism inside to keep the door closed It can also be locked with keys The levers for privacy are in the same way however with the addition of the Snib like a doorknob A snib button can be very useful especially in homes where its essential to maintain privacy or security If your partner is arriving at home late from work you can apply the snib button to ensure that they arent allowed in until theyre ready to come in This type of handle can also be used for doors in the interior like those in bedrooms where you wish to restrict access from outside In some cases there are instances where snib buttons could cause problems particularly in the case of older locks or doors that are bent If the snib button is used in a mistake or by a person who isnt used to it the door may slam shut and shut you out It is possible to gain entry by knocking the door frame or the letterbox However this isnt a good idea If your uPVC has a snib we recommend replacing it with a smart lock from the ELOK 7 Series These can be retrofitted over pull handle kits that double turn and come with cover plates to conceal existing holes to make it a seamless installation The ELOK uses a smart app to enable you to unlock the door using RFID cards or mechanical keys and is able to be set up with passcodes for secure entry and convenience The system has been tested for 200000 cycles in order to ensure its durability The handles themselves are constructed with a solidmetal construction and are BS EN 16702007 Grade 5 for resistance to corrosion LeverMoveable Pad This is a wellknown handle design for front doors that has the advantage of stopping the door from being opened by the outside without a key if the lock isnt deadlocked This is accomplished through a pad shaped external handle that locks into the gap between the handles and the lock case to prevent the latch from being removed or the door from being opened This handle is designed to work with uPVC multipoint locks that use split spindle mechanisms This kind of operation requires that the internal lever handle and external pad handle be attached to the same lock case This could be a straightforward switch from the current uPVC handles but it could also involve changing the lock case or a new set of handle furniture to allow for this additional functionality These leversmovable pad door handles are ideal for uPVC doors and come with a slide bearing
