Types of UPVC Door Handles

It is crucial to select the correct replacement upvc handle for your home if handles are in need of replacement. Locksmiths can provide and install high-security uPVC handles with added security features.

The most important measurements are measurement A (known as PZ) and the length of the backplate (measurement F). 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 force to the end, the fulcrum will turn in the direction the force is applied. This rotates the fulcrum, increasing the applied force and allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you were to apply 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 known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage in mechanical terms increases when the lever is extended. You can determine the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum until the point at which you're applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and the end of the lever.

Levers can also have different effects depending on how the forces are applied. For example a lever of class 2 has a tendency to turn in the opposite direction when the force of effort is applied (like a teeter-totter). If you push the door's handle, the forces will produce rotational effects similar to this.

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

Lever/Pad

Lever pad handles are a form of door handle made from UPVC that has 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 wide range of materials, including UPVC doors, Aluminium doors & Timber Doors. They are sold in pairs for the outside and the interior doors, with spindles and screws included. They are available in both unhanded and handed versions to meet the needs of different users.

They are typically used for new constructions and are used to replace the existing upvc doors. The levers are lifted to open all multipoint locks, and the key is turned to lock or close the door. They are more secure when compared to standard lever door handles because the locking function can only be accessed by entering the door with keys unless the door is deadlocked.

They're not as secure as a cylinder lock but they are cost-effective ways to provide extra security to your home. The only downside is that they do not offer the same level of protection as a cylinder lock and therefore don't block access to the home if the door is left open.

Some are fitted with the back plate while others can be removed to enable different fixing centres.

Lever/Snib

Lever latches are by far the most simple type of door handles. Pushing down on the lever triggers a simple latch mechanism inside the door to keep it closed. It can also be locked with the use of a key. Some lever privacy handles work in the same way, however with an additional snib, similar to the doorknob.

A snib can be a very useful tool, particularly in homes where security and privacy are essential. You can use the snib button to block your partner from entering until they are prepared. This kind handle is also used in interior doors, such as bedrooms, where you might require a lock to prevent access from the outside.

Snib buttons can cause issues in certain circumstances, especially when you have old locks and warped doors. If the snib switch is accidentally pressed or by someone who isn't familiar with it, the door could shut and lock you out. In most cases, you can get in by knocking on the door frame or the letterbox, but this isn't a good idea.

The system is tested to 200,000 cycles to ensure long-term durability. The handles themselves are constructed with a solid-metal construction and are BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 for resistance to corrosion.

Lever/Moveable Pad

This popular handle design is commonly used on front doors. It has the advantage of preventing the door from being opened without a key from the outside if the lock has not been deadlocked. This is accomplished through an external 'pad' handle that locks in the gap between the handles and the lock case to stop the latch from being removed or the door opened.

This kind of handle is made for uPVC doors that are fitted with multipoint locks which operate via split spindle technology. This kind of operation requires the internal lever handle as well as the external door handles and locks pad handle to be fitted to the same lock case.
