The door handles of uPVC/Composite are made of sturdy materials and are ideal for doors with multi-point locks which require a robust design. The handles and hinges are inline and work off the same spindle and screw fixings, so they can be easily fitted to existing or new uPVC/Composite doors.

This allows for the assurance of the quality of the finish and performance of the handle over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to fit a wide range of locks. This is particularly useful in doors with smaller door frames in which the cylinder is further back. A shortened lever can also be used for doors with latches that can be activated with the thumb on the inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle is distinct from the lever handles that are found on most doors. The handle can work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two inline or offset spindles (pad). They are usually utilized on UPVC doors with double glazing. They come in a range of finishes & variations.

The handles have been tested to the minimum of 200 000 cycles and are available in a variety of finishes, including White Silver, Chrome, & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and resistant to corrosion. This gives the handle a high performance and durability for its intended purpose.

The 211mm backplate fixing centres allow for a larger size of handle which can often be a benefit when replacing a damaged or worn multi-point door lock mechanism.

Doors that are external, for instance should be equipped with cylinders with greater security while doors inside can be secured with a standard cylinder. Some cylinders have extra features that can improve security, like anti drill or anti bump properties.

A euro cylinder needs to be measured correctly to ensure that it is the right size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to each end of the cylinder, including the thumb turn if you have one. If you cannot measure with the lock in position, you can take it out of it. It is crucial to ensure that there is no extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon.

Certain cylinders are made to withstand snapping. This is an increasingly common kind of attack on cylinders, which is where the break line of the lock is targeted with a special tool to break off the front of the cylinder and allow the door to be opened.
