The door handles made of uPVC/Composite are constructed of durable materials and are suitable for multi point lock doors that require a strong design. The handles are inline and run with the same spindle as well as screw fixings so they are easily installed on existing or new uPVC/Composite doors.

The handle can be positioned and angled to accommodate any user. The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles. This allows for the assurance of the quality of the finish and performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever can be cut to fit more locks. This is useful for narrower doors where the cylinder is further away from the door. A shorter lever can be used on doors with latches that can be opened by the thumb inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently than lever handles found on most doors. These handle types are either operated by a single spindle or by two spindles, either inline or offset. They are typically employed on UPVC double-glazed doors and come in many variations & finishes.

The handles are available in a variety of finishes including white window handles Chrome, and Gold. The finish is compliant with BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is also resistant to corrosion, giving the handle a high level of durability and performance for the intended use.

The backplate fixing centres of 211mm allow for a larger size of handle which can be beneficial in replacing a defective or worn multi point door lock mechanism. The handle levers come with springs, which eliminate the problem of handles for doors that slide out of the horizontal position when not being used.

It is essential to ensure that the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when selecting the replacement window handle UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement may also be called 'handle centre' or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the correct handles.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks can be found on uPVC and other kinds of doors. The cylinder lock operates by a key which unlocks the cylinder's casing. This exposes pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock, and permit them to turn the camera that rotates, opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with external and internal doors usually needing different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder is crucial. It's dependent on the amount of use your doors and handles receive. External doors, for instance are required to be fitted with higher security cylinders while internal doors can be secured using a standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders have extra features that increase security further, such as anti-drill or anti-bump features.

A euro cylinder should be measured accurately to ensure it is the correct size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the hole in the center of the fixing screw to the end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one. It is recommended to do this while the lock is in place however when this isn't feasible, you can take it off and take it off to measure. It is important to ensure that there is no extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon. This can make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks.

The design of the latest cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features. They are designed to decrease the chance of a attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in an opposite direction. This can help to deflect an attack and ensure your door is secure.

There are cylinders designed to withstand snapping. This is a growing type of attack on cylinders, which is where the break line of the lock is attacked with a special tool to break off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to be opened. This is a much faster and more convenient method of gaining access than using a multipoint locking system. It also leaves no evidence of the break-in which can make it difficult to prove insurance claims.
