Types of UPVC Door Handles Its important to choose the right replacement upvc handle for your home if handles are in need of replacement Locksmiths can provide and fit highsecurity uPVC handles that come with additional security features door handle repair to consider are the measurement A also called PZ along with the length of the backplate Check these measurements to ensure the new uPVC handle will fit LeverLever A lever is a solid bar that pivots around a central point known as a the fulcrum When you apply force to the end the fulcrum will turn in the direction the force is applied This rotates the fulcrum increasing the force applied and allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you attempted to apply it directly to the load The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever can move This is known as the mechanical advantage The advantage in mechanical terms increases as the lever gets 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 distance between the fulcrum point and end of lever Levers also have various effects based on how the forces are applied For instance a lever of class 2 is inclined to turn in the opposite direction as the force of effort is applied like a teetertotter The forces created by pushing on the handle of a front door will result in rotational effects similar to these However levers dont create energy They just multiply the force you exert by converting a small amount of effort over a large distance into a greater amount of force that is applied over a smaller distance Levers are used to lift heavy objects and move large amounts of cargo The lever principle is also used in everyday tools like crowbars Hammer claws fishing rods hammer claws and your own legs as you are standing on your cars hand brake LeverPad Lever pad handles are a kind of door handle made from UPVC that has levers on both sides that operate the multipoint lock They are available in a variety of finishes designs and can be used on a wide range of materials including

types of users They are commonly used in new builds and can be installed to replace existing doors made of upvc They are typically operated by lifting the levers to throw out all of the multipoint locks and turning the key to close unlock They provide additional security compared to traditional lever door handles as the locking operation is only accessible via the inside using an open key unless the door is locked Theyre not as secure as a cylinder bolt however they are an affordable option to provide extra home security The only drawback is that they do not provide the same level of security as a cylinder lock and so dont prevent external access to the home when the door is left open The majority of the lever pad upvc door handles we stock are made by the industrys leading

opens inside to keep the door shut and can be locked using a key The levers for privacy are using the same principle but with the addition of an snib like knobs for doors A snib button is very beneficial especially in homes where its essential to ensure privacy or security You can use the snib button to stop your guest from entering until they are prepared This kind of handle is also popular for interior doors like bedrooms where you may want to restrict access from outside In some instances snib buttons can cause problems particularly if you have doors and locks that are distorted If the snib is applied in error or by a person who isnt quite used to it the door could close and lock you out Most of the time you can be able to get in by knocking the door frame or letterbox however this isnt the best option If your uPVC door is equipped with a snibbutton we recommend replacing the handle with a contemporary ELOK 7Series smart lock These locks can be retrofitted

advantage of preventing the door from being opened without the key from outside if the lock has not been deadlocked This is accomplished by using the padshaped handle that locks into the gap between the handle and lock case This handle is designed to be used with uPVC multipoint locks that use a split spindle mechanism This type of operation requires that the internal lever handle and the external pad handle are both fitted to the same lock case This could be a straightforward change from the current uPVC handles but it may also require a change to the lock case or even a new set of handles to accommodate this additional function These leversmovable pad door handles are ideal for uPVC doors and come with a maintenance free slide bearing as well as spring cassettes and fixing lugs
