Types of UPVC Door Handles

If your upvc door handle is in need of replacement, it's important to choose the correct replacement for your home. Locksmiths can provide and fit high-security uPVC handles with extra security features.

The most important measurements you should take are the measurement A (also called PZ) as well as the length of the backplate. Make sure to check these measurements to make sure that your new uPVC handles for patio doors will fit.

Lever/Lever

A lever is a solid bar that is pivotally positioned around a point (known as a fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the lever it will tend to rotate the fulcrum to the direction of the applied force. This rotation multiplies the applied force, allowing you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you tried to apply it directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point where you apply force determines the most effective movement. This is called the mechanical advantage. The advantage in mechanical terms increases as the lever gets 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 have a variety of effects depending on the way forces are applied. A class 2 lever, for example has a tendency of turning in the opposite direction when an force of the effort is applied. If you push on the door handle, the forces will produce the same rotational effects as this.

However, levers don't create energy. Levers multiply the force by converting small amounts of effort applied over a lengthy distance into larger amounts of force applied over shorter distances. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and move massive quantities of cargo. This is also the principle behind the levers that are found in many everyday tools such as crowbars, fishing rods hammer claws and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your vehicle.

Lever/Pad

Lever pad handles, also known as upvc door handles, feature levers on both sides to operate the multipoint locks. Lever pad handles are available in various finishes and variations and can be installed on a wide range of materials such as UPVC doors, Aluminium doors & Timber Doors. They are sold in pairs for the outer and inner door with spindles & screws included. They are also available in hand and unhandled versions for different users.

They are typically used for new builds and can be fitted to replace upvc door handle existing upvc doors. They are usually operated by lifting up the levers to throw all of the multipoint locks before turning the key to close and unlock. They are more secure compared to traditional lever door handles since the locking mechanism is only accessible from the inside with keys unless the door is deadlocked.

They are not as safe as a cylinder lock, but they're a cost-effective way to add extra security to your home. The only downside is that they do not offer the same level of protection as a cylinder lock and so don't prevent external access to the home when the door is left open.

They also come with two spindle followers. Some are inserted into the back plate, while others can be removed to allow for different fixing centres.

Lever/Snib

Lever latches, the simplest of door handles are commonly used. By pressing down on the lever, it triggers a simple latch mechanism inside to keep the door closed. It can also be locked using keys. Some lever privacy handles operate using the same principle, but with the addition of an Snib (like knobs for doors).

A snib can be a very useful tool, especially in homes where security and privacy are important. You can use the snib button to stop your partner from entering until they are prepared. This type of handle is also popular in interior doors, such as bedrooms, where you may want to restrict access from the outside.

In certain situations, snib buttons can cause problems, especially in the case of older locks or doors that are distorted. If the snib button is used accidentally or by someone who isn't quite used to it, the door can slam shut and shut you out. Usually, you can still be able to get in by knocking the door frame or letterbox, however this isn't a good idea.

Lever/Moveable Pad

This popular handle style is commonly used on front doors. It is advantageous because it has the benefit of preventing the door being opened without an outside key if the lock has not been deadlocked. This is accomplished through a 'pad' shaped external handle that locks in the gap between the handles and lock case to prevent the latch from being pulled back or the door from being opened.

This kind of handle is made for uPVC doors with multipoint locks that operate using split spindle operations. This type of operation requires the internal lever handle as well as the external pad handle to be installed within the same lock case. It is a simple switch from the current uPVC handles, but it might also require changing the lock case or even a new set of handle furniture to allow this additional function.
