Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle

The uPVC/Composite door handles are constructed of durable materials and are suitable for multi point lock doors which require a robust design. The handles are inline and use the same screws and spindle to fix them. They are easily fitted on a new or existing uPVC/Composite door.

The handle can be positioned and angled to fit all users. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles, this helps to ensure the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever can also be shortened to fit the widest range of locks. This is especially useful for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is located further back. A lever that is shorter is a good choice for doors where the latch can be operated by a thumb turn inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently from lever-type handles found on most doors. These handle types can either work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from both sides using two offset or inline spindles (pad). They are generally used on UPVC double glazed doors. They come in a variety of styles and styles.

The handles are available in a variety of finishes, including White Chrome and Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and resistant to corrosion. This provides the handle with an outstanding performance and long-lasting durability for its intended use.

All of the UPVC handle lever pad styles are supplied with the spindle and screws which allow them to be installed on a new or existing uPVC door. The backplate fixing centers of 211mm permit a bigger handle, which is often a benefit when replacing a damaged or worn multi point door lock mechanism. The handle levers are spring-loaded, which solves the issue of door handles sagging out of their horizontal position when they are not being used.

It is essential to match the PZ dimensions of both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when choosing the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement can also be referred to as 'handle centres or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the right handles.

After you have identified the correct size of PZ, you will need to ensure that the push and lever pads are designed to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your patio door handle. These are usually square or round with an internal lever and an external push pad.

The majority of the UPVC Lever Pads that we offer are spring-loaded. This means they will return to a horizontal state when they are not in use instead of hanging, and possibly being stuck in the frame. This keeps draughts out of the home. Also, the majority of UPVC lever pad handles are hand-operated that allows you to put them on either side of the door.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are typically found on uPVC doors, but they can be utilized on other types of door. The cylinder lock is operated by a key which unlocks the cylinder's case. This exposes pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock, allowing them to rotate the camera that rotates, opening the patio door handle. Euro cylinders are available with up to six pins. External and internal doors require different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder you choose is essential. It is based on the type of use your doors and handles receive. For instance, doors that are external must be secured with a more secure cylinder whilst internal doors can be secured using an ordinary cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders are available with extra features that increase security, for instance anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics.

A euro cylinder should be properly measured to ensure that it is the right size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the hole in the center of the fixing screw to each end of the cylinder including the thumb turn if you have one. If you are unable to measure using the lock in its position, you can remove it. A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks, such as lock snapping, so it is essential that it is not too long.

Most newer cylinders have been designed with bump and anti-drill features included in their design. These are designed to reduce the risk of attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This will help to stop the attack and protect your doors.

Certain cylinders are made to resist snapping. This is a growing type of attack on cylinders where the break line inside the lock is smashed using a special tool to break off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to open. This is a quicker and simpler method to gain access than through the use of a multipoint locking system. It also leaves no evidence of the break-in which could hinder insurance claims.

Spring Cassette

The spring cassette is situated within the base plate of your door handle. It provides a sprung solution to bring the multipoint lock handles to their original position after usage. These handles used to have no spring and would drop when the locking mechanism was disconnected. The addition of this simple element is one of the most effective ways to fix this issue and is an excellent way to stop your upvc doors from getting stuck in an open or closed position, since they aren't always simple to close manually.

These spring cassettes were designed to be used with a sprung multipoint lock. They will not fit handles that aren't sprung and you'll have to cut a hole in your backplate for them to fit.
