Types of UPVC Door Handles

When your upvc door handle requires replacement, it is essential to find the right replacement for your home. A locksmith can supply and install high-security uPVC handles with extra security features.

The most important measurements to take are the measurement A (also called PZ) as well as 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 rigid bar pivoted around a point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply a force at the end of the lever it will tend to rotate the fulcrum in the direction of the force applied. This rotates the force and lets you lift or move things that would normally require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever is able to move. This is called the mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage increases as the lever is extended. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing distance from the fulcrum point to the place where you are applying force by distance between fulcrum point and the end of the lever.

Levers can also have different effects based on how the forces are applied. For instance the class 2 lever is inclined to turn in the opposite direction as the force of effort is applied (like a totter-totter). If you push the door handle the force will create rotational effects similar to this.

However, levers don't create energy. They just multiply the force you apply by converting a small amount of effort over a large distance into a greater amount of force applied over a smaller distance. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and move large amounts of cargo. This is also the principle behind levers found in many everyday tools, such as crowbars and fishing rods, claws for hammers and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your car.

Lever/Pad

Lever pad handles are a form of upvc door handle that have levers on both sides that operate the multipoint lock. Lever pad handles are available in a variety of finishes & variations and can be installed on a variety of materials that include UPVC doors, Aluminium doors & Timber Doors. They are sold in pairs for the outside and the interior doors with screws and spindles included. They are available both unhanded and handed versions to suit different users.

They are commonly used in new constructions and can be fitted to replace doors made of upvc replacement window handles. The levers are lifted to open the multipoint locks, and the key is turned to close or unlock the door. They provide a bit more security than traditional lever door handles, as the locking is only done through the inside with keys.

They are not as secure as a cylinder bolt but are a reasonable option to provide extra home security. The only drawback is that they don't offer the same level of protection as a cylinder bolt, and therefore won't prevent access from outside when the door is left open.

They will also come with two spindle followers. Some are fitted with the back plate, while others are removable to allow for different fixing centres.

Lever/Snib

Lever latches are the most basic kind of door handles. The lever is pushed downwards to open a latch inside the door that can be locked with keys. The levers for privacy are using the same principle however, with the addition of a Snib (like a doorknob).

A snib-button can be very useful, especially in homes where it's essential to ensure privacy or security. You can use the snib feature to prevent your partner from entering until they are prepared. This kind of handle is also popular in doors that are inside such as bedrooms, where you may require a lock to prevent access from outside.

In some instances there are instances where snib buttons could cause problems, especially in the case of doors and locks that are bent. If the snib is applied in a mistake or by a person who isn't used to it, the door can slam shut and lock you out. Usually, you can still get in by knocking on the door frame or letterbox, but this isn't the best option.

If your uPVC has an snib, we suggest replacing it with an electronic lock from the E-LOK 7 Series.

Lever/Moveable Pad

This is a very popular handle design for front doors that has the benefit of preventing the door from being opened by the outside without keys if the lock is not deadlocked. This is accomplished through the 'pad'-shaped external handle that locks in the gap between the handles and the lock case to stop the latch from being withdrawn or the door opened.

This handle is designed to work with uPVC multipoint locks that use a split spindle mechanism. This type of operation requires the internal lever handle as well as the external pad handle to be mounted to the same lock case. This can be a simple modification to the existing uPVC handles, but it could also require changing the lock case or even a new set of handle furniture to allow this added functionality.
