Types of UPVC Door Handles

If your door handle made of uPVC needs replacing it's essential to choose the correct replacement for your home. A locksmith can provide and install high-security uPVC door handles that come with additional security features.

The most important measurements you should take are the measurement A (also called PZ) along with the length of the backplate. Make sure to check these measurements to ensure your new uPVC handle will fit.

Lever/Lever

A lever is a solid bar pivoted around a point (known as a Fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the bar, the fulcrum is likely to turn in the direction the force is applied. This rotation multiplies the force applied which allows you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of 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 maximum movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever is extended, the larger the mechanical benefit. 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 fulcrum point and the end of lever.

Levers can have different effects based on how forces are applied. A lever of class 2 for instance has a tendency of turning in the opposite direction once the effort force is applied. The forces produced by pushing the handle of a front door will produce rotational effects that are similar to these.

However, levers don't create energy. They simply multiply the force you exert by making a small amount effort applied over a long distance into a larger amount of force applied over a smaller distance. This allows you to accomplish more in a shorter amount of time, which is the reason why levers are frequently used to lift heavy objects or moving large amounts of cargo. The lever principle is utilized in everyday tools like crowbars. Hammer claws, fishing rods and your own legs when you are standing on the hand brake of your car.

Lever/Pad

Lever pad handles, also referred to as upvc door handles for internal bifold doors have levers on each side to operate the multipoint locks. These come in many variations and finishes, and are suitable for a range of materials including UPVC, Aluminium & Timber doors. They are sold in pairs for both the outside and the interior doors, with spindles and screws included. They are also available in hand and unhandled versions to suit different types of users.

These locks can be used to replace an existing upvc door. The levers are lifted to open all multipoint locks and the key is turned to close or unlock the door. They are more secure when compared to standard lever door handles as the locking operation is only accessible by entering the door with keys unless the door is locked.

They are not as secure as a cylinder bolt, but are an affordable option to provide extra home security. 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 if the door is left open.

The majority of lever pad upvc door handles we offer are manufactured by leading manufacturers in the industry, and are made from high quality components. They are also generally supplied with a manufacturer's warranty.

They will feature a cylinder with 82mm diameter on the inside, and 62mm outside. They also come with two spindle followers. Some are fitted with the back plate while others are movable to enable different fixing centres.

Lever/Snib

Lever latches are by far the most simple kind of door handles. Pressing down on the lever operates a simple latch mechanism inside the door to keep it shut, and can be locked with a key. Some lever privacy handles operate similar to the doorknob, but with an additional knob, similar to a doorknob.

A snib button is very useful, especially in homes where it's essential to maintain privacy or security. If your spouse is expected to arrive home late from work, you can use the snib so that they can't get in until they're ready in. This type of handle is also popular for interior doors, such as bedrooms, where you may need to restrict access from outside.

In some cases, snib buttons can cause problems, particularly when you have older locks and doors that are warped. If the snib button is accidentally pressed or by a person who isn't familiar with it, your door may slam and lock you out. You can usually gain entry by knocking on the door frame or the letterbox. However this isn't a good idea.

The system is tested to 200 000 cycles to ensure long-term durability. The handles themselves are made 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 design for front doors that has the advantage of stopping the door from opening from the outside without a key, if the lock isn't deadlocked. This is accomplished by using a 'pad-shaped' external handle that locks into the gap between the handle and the lock case.

This type of handle is designed to fit uPVC doors fitted with multipoint locks that operate with a split spindle operation. This kind of operation requires the lever handle and the external pad handle to be fitted within the same lock case. It is a simple change from the current uPVC handles but it may also require a change to the lock case or a new set of handles to accommodate this additional functionality.
