They are designed to work with key wind locks although they can also be used to split spindle multipoint door locks (though you will need a separate dual spindle lock case). Once you have chosen the appropriate handle for the doors the finishes will be displayed in the drop-down menu. Not all styles of handle are available in every finish and you should always look over the sizes and technical drawings for the specific product you're looking for to ensure that you get the correct size and fitting. It is essential that when choosing the new set of upvc lever pad handles, they are in line with the PZ (distance from the handle spindle to the center of the hole in the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because they must be lined up to ensure that doors stay locked, whether you are looking from the inside or outside.

You can purchase these separately. We have included a technical illustration in the images of each product. It is a good idea to loosen the screws holding the door handle you have and then inspect the mechanism. If the screws aren't tight enough, you may need to loosen them even more. Then you can remove the spindle from the door handle and replace it with a new Upvc handle. It is important to ensure that the handle is in the correct position before installing it. You can do this by placing your finger between the door frame and the handle to make sure that it's in the right position. Lever/Lever Lever door handles function as with a multi-point lock that utilizes a Euro cylinder and are found on the majority of upvc double doors, aluminium doors and some wooden doors. They come in two forms, having an interior lever and a paddle outside. Sprung – These have a spring cassette installed within the backplate, which helps bring the handle lever into an upright position. Non-sprung – These do not include a spring mechanism and will need to be manually pulled to bring the handle lever to the horizontal position. To repair a door handle lever that is sagging you'll need to locate the hole or detent access pin. This is usually a small hole or protruding ring, or rectangle, located on the handle base plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you are able to remove it with a screwdriver. Once the handle is in a horizontal orientation, you can re-install the screws and tighten them until the handle remains secure on the base plate. Consider applying a threadlocking solution to the threads of the screw to increase grip and stop the threads from becoming loose over time. Lever door handles that droop could be the result of various causes. The most common reason is that the fixings have been over tightened and are putting stress on the bearings of the lever, which causes it to become a bind on the door face. It is also possible that the levers have not been operated at the correct angle, which compresses the latch mechanism and stops it from fully springing into action. A common cause of a sprung lever not working properly is the spring not being in the right position on the backplate. The simplest way to check this is to turn the handle to check if it returns to the horizontal position. If the door handles aren't tight, it is essential to spot the problem quickly, as this can lead to excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten any loose screws on a regular basis to stop them from becoming looser.
