Inline Lever/Lever

A lever handle or lever is a modern-day door handle that is designed to fit new or replacement doors. This style door handle is available in a wide range of styles and finishes. A number of manufacturers offer this handle, including Avocet ERA, Fullex, Hoppe, Mila, Millenco & Yale.

Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle

The handles of uPVC/Composite are constructed from durable materials, and are ideal for doors with multiple points that require a robust design. The handles are inline and work with the same spindle as well as screw fixings, so they can be easily incorporated into existing or new uPVC/Composite doors.


The handle can be placed and angled to fit the needs of all users. The handle has been endurance-tested to 200 000 cycles. This helps ensure that the quality of finish and performance is maintained over time. The sprung lever can be reduced to accommodate the widest range of locks. This is useful in doors that are narrower, where the cylinder is situated further back from the door. A lever that is shorter is an excellent option for doors where the latch could be opened by a thumb turn inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles that are used on the majority of doors. The handle can operate from a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two inline or offset spindles (pad). They are usually employed on UPVC double glazed doors and are available in a variety of variations and styles.

The handles have been tested to the minimum of 200,000 cycles and are available in various finishes like White and Silver, as well as Chrome & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to corrosion. This provides the handle with the best performance and durability for its intended use.

All UPVC handle lever pads come with a spindle, screws, and can be fitted on a uPVC door. The backplate fixing centers of 211mm permit a bigger size of handle which can often be a benefit in replacing a defective or worn multi point door lock mechanism. These levers for handles are also spring-loaded, which solves the issue of handles hanging out of the horizontal position when not in use.

It is important to match the PZ dimensions for both the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC doors when choosing the replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement may also be called 'handle centre or cylinder centre'. It is important to match the correct handles.

When you have the right PZ size, you'll be required to make sure that the handle lever pads and push pads are in a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handles that you need for your doors. These are typically round or square, with an internal lever, and an external push pad.

The majority of UPVC Lever Pads we sell are sprung. This means they can be reverted to a horizontal position after they are not in use instead of hanging, and possibly securing to the frame. This keeps draughts out of the property. You will also find that the majority of the UPVC handle lever pad style handles are hand-operated that allows you to put them on either side of the door.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are found on uPVC and other types of doors. The cylinder lock operates by a key which unlocks the cylinder case. This reveals pins that can be aligned to the pins in the lock and allow them to turn the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with internal and external doors typically having different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder you choose is essential. It's dependent on the type of use your doors and handles receive. For instance, doors that are external must be secured with a higher security cylinder, while doors inside can be secured using an ordinary cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders come with additional features which can enhance security even more, like anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics.

To ensure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it must be measured correctly. The cylinder should be measured from the central fixing screw hole to each end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one. It is best to do this with the lock in place however, in the event that this is not feasible, you can take it off and take it off to measure. It is important to ensure that there is no cylinder that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This can make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks.

The design of the latest cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features. These are designed to reduce the risk of attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This will help to stop the attack and ensure your doors are secure.

Certain cylinders are made to withstand snapping. This is an increasingly common method of attack on cylinders where the break line inside the lock is smashed using a special tool to snap off the front of the cylinder and allow the door to open. This is faster and less difficult than opening multipoint locks and leaves little evidence of a burglary, which can hinder an insurance claim.

Spring Cassette

The spring cassette is located inside the base of your door handle's backplate, supplying a spring-loaded solution and returning your multipoint lock handles to their original position after use. The handles had no spring and would droop when the locking mechanism was disengaged. This simple component is the best solution to fix this problem. It also prevents your upvc door from becoming stuck in either the closed or open position, as they aren't easy to close manually.

These spring cassettes are specifically designed for use with multipoint locks sprung but they won't work with non-sprung multipoint handles. You must have a hole specifically cut in your backplate to allow these to fit (please check the image for a technical diagram). These cassettes are a solution to damaged or missing cassettes in the backplate of uPVC door handles. They feature a square cut out which can accommodate an 8mm spindle, and are sold as a set.

These spring cassettes provide an excellent value solution to the problem of sagging door handles. They are easy to fit and will prolong the life span of your uPVC doors.
