Types of UPVC Door Handles

When your upvc door handle requires replacement, it is essential to find the best replacement for your home. Locksmiths can provide and fit high-security uPVC handles that come with additional security features.


The most important measurements you should take are the measurement A (also called PZ) as well as the length of the backplate. Please check these measurements to ensure your new uPVC handles will fit.

Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid rod that pivots around the point. When you apply force towards the end, the fulcrum will tend to rotate in the direction that the force is applied. This motion increases the force and lets you lift or move things that would otherwise require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum and the place where you apply the force determines the distance the lever can be moved. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases when the lever is extended. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the point at which you are applying force by the distance between the fulcrum point and end of the lever.

Levers can produce different effects based on how the force is applied. A lever in class 2 for instance is prone to rotating in the opposite direction when the force of the effort is applied. The forces generated by pushing on the handle of a front door can create rotational effects similar to these.

However, levers don't create energy. They simply multiply the force you exert by converting a small amount of effort applied over a long distance into a greater amount of force that is applied over a smaller distance. This allows you to do more work in a shorter amount of time, and that is why levers are often employed to lift heavy objects or moving large quantities of cargo. The lever principle is used in everyday tools like crowbars. Hammer claws fishing rods, hammer claws and even your own legs, as you are standing on the hand brake of your car.

Lever/Pad

Lever pad handles, also referred to as upvc door handles, have levers on each side to operate the multipoint locks. These come in many variations and finishes, and can be used with a variety of materials including UPVC, Aluminium & Timber doors. They are sold in pairs for the inner and exterior door with screws and spindles included. They are also available in hand and unhandled versions for different users.

These locks can be used to replace an existing upvc door. They are usually operated by lifting up the levers to throw out 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 can only be accessed from the inside with keys in the event that the door is locked.

They are not as secure as a cylinder bolt, but are a reasonable alternative to add security. The only downside is that they do not provide the same level of security as a cylinder lock and they don't restrict access to your home if the door is left open.

We stock a large number of lever pad upvc handles manufactured by leading manufacturers in the market. They are made with high quality components. In general, they are supplied with a manufacturer's guarantee.

Some are fitted with the back plate whilst others can be removed to allow for 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 shut, and can be locked with the use of a key. The levers for privacy are using the same principle however, with the addition of an lock snib (like a doorknob).

A snib button can be very useful, especially for homes where it's important to ensure privacy or security. You can use the snib handle to prevent your guest from entering until they are ready. This kind of handle is also popular in interior doors such as bedrooms, where you might require a lock to prevent access from the outside.

In some cases the snib button can cause issues, especially when you have doors and locks that are bent. If the snib button was accidentally pressed or by someone who isn't familiar with it, the door may be slammed and you locked out. Usually, you can still get in by knocking on the door frame or the letterbox, but this isn't the best option.

If your uPVC has a snib we recommend replacing it with an electronic lock from the E-LOK 7 Series. These smart locks can be retrofitted to double turn pull handle kits.

The handles are made from solid metal and are in compliance with BS EN 1670 Grade 5 for resistance to corrosion.

Lever/Moveable Pad

This is a very popular handle style for front doors that has the benefit of preventing the door from opening from outside without keys if the lock isn't deadlocked. This is achieved with an external handle that is shaped like a pad that locks into the gap between the handle and lock case.

This handle is designed to be used with uPVC multipoint locks that employ split spindle mechanisms. This type of operation requires the internal lever handle and the external pad handle to be mounted within the same lock case. It could be a simple replacement of the current uPVC handle, however it could also require a new lock case or a brand new set to handle furniture.
