Lever/Pad

It is recommended to check the technical drawing and dimensions sections for the particular product you are looking for to ensure you get the right fit and size.


It is important that when selecting a 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, no matter if you're looking at them from the inside or from the outside. The handles we offer are designed to work with most conventional cylinder locks, however you should always double-check before ordering.

If you want to upgrade to dual spindle levers you'll need to remove the handles that are currently in use and then disassemble the lock case. This will require an extra split inline cylinder. You can purchase these separately. We have included a diagram of the technical aspects in the images of each product.

Once you have removed the screws holding your existing door handle it is recommended to loosen them and examine the mechanism to determine what condition it is in. If the screws aren't tight enough, you may need to loosen them further. After that, you can take 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 ensure that it's in the right position.

Lever/Lever

The lever handles on doors are used to operate a multi-point lock that uses a Euro cylinder. They are found on many upvc double doors as well as some wooden and aluminium doors. They have a lever inside and an outside paddle and are typically available in two types. Sprung - these include a spring cassette within the backplate that helps bring the handle lever to the horizontal position. Non-sprung - they do not include a spring mechanism and must be manually pulled to bring the handle lever to a horizontal position.

To fix a door handle that is sagging you must find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is typically a small round or rectangle shaped hole or protruding pin located on one side of the base plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you are able to remove it using a screwdriver.

When the handle is in a horizontal position, you can re-install the screws and tighten them to make sure the handle is secured to the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the screw threads in order to improve grip and prevent them from loosening over time.

Drooping lever handles on door handles could be the result of various causes. The most frequent reason is that the fixings have been over tightened and are putting strain on the lever bearing and causing it to pull against the door face. It is also possible that the levers have not been adjusted at the right angle, which causes compression of the latch mechanism and prevents it from fully springing into motion.

The most common reason for a sprung lever not working properly is the spring not being in the proper position on the backplate. To check whether the handle has returned to horizontal, simply operate it.

It is crucial to fix any door handles that are loose immediately. This could lead to excessive wear on the screws, and the handle might fall off the base plate. You should also tighten loose screws frequently to prevent them from becoming looser.
