Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle

The uPVC/Composite door handles are constructed of durable materials and are ideal for doors with multi-point locks which require a robust design. The handles are inline and operate with the same spindle as well as screw fixings, so they are easily installed on existing or new uPVC/Composite doors.

The spring lever design allows the handle to be placed and angled for comfortable operation and is suitable for all users. The handle has been endurance-tested to 200,000 cycles. This helps ensure that the quality of finish and performance over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to fit a wide range of locks. This is particularly useful for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is further back. A shortened lever can also be used for doors that have a latch that can be opened by the thumb inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle is different from the lever handles found on most doors. These handles are operated by a single spindle or by two spindles inline or offset. They are usually utilized on UPVC doors with double glazing and come in a range of finishes & variations.

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

All UPVC lever pads for handles include a spindle and screws and can be installed on the uPVC door. The 211mm backplate fixation centres allow for a wider handle, which is typically a benefit when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. These levers for handles are also sprung, solving the problem of handles that slide from their horizontal position when they are not in use.

It is important to ensure that the PZ dimensions of both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when selecting a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement is also called 'handle centres or cylinder centre'. It is important to match the right handles.

When you have the right PZ size you will then be required to make sure that the lever pads and push pads are of a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compatible handles you require for your doors.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other types of doors. They operate by using a key to unlock a cylinder that will reveal pins that can be aligned to those in the lock body, permitting them to turn the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with external and internal doors generally requiring different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder you choose is crucial. It depends on the use that your doors and handles receive. For instance, exterior doors require a higher security cylinder, while internal doors can be secured with an ordinary cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders come with additional features that can improve 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 each end of the cylinder including the thumb turn if you have one. It is recommended to do this with the lock in place however, if this is not possible, you may take it off to measure. A cylinder that extends beyond the handle and escutcheon might be vulnerable to attacks such as snapping locks, therefore it is important that it is not too long.

The design of the latest cylinders has anti-drilling and bump resistance features.  upvc door handles  are designed to decrease the chance of attack by forcing cylinders to rotate in a different direction. This will help to prevent attacks and protect your doors.

There are cylinders that have been made to withstand snapping. This is a growing kind of attack on cylinders, where the break line in the lock is targeted with a special tool to break off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to be opened. This is a quicker and more convenient method of gaining access than through a multipoint locking system. It also leaves no evidence of the break-in which can hinder insurance claims.

Spring Cassette

The spring cassette is situated inside the base plate of the door handle. It provides a sprung solution to return your multipoint lock handles to their original position after use. Previously a lot of handles of this kind did not have a spring integrated into them, and as a result, they are more likely to slide or 'drop' once the locking mechanism is disengaged. This component is the best solution to address this issue. It also stops your upvc door from becoming stuck in the open or closed position since they are difficult to close manually.

The spring cassettes were made to be used with a sprung multipoint lock. They are not compatible with handles that aren't sprung, and you will have to cut a hole into your backplate in order for them to fit. (Please see the image for a technical diagram). These cassettes are a replacement to damaged or missing cassettes on the backplate of uPVC door handles. They are sold as a single unit. They feature a square cut out that can accommodate an 8mm shaft.

These spring cassettes offer a great value solution to the issue of sagging door handles. They are easy to fit and will extend the lifespan of your uPVC doors.
