Types of UPVC Door Handles

Lever/Lever Door Handles

Lever/Lever handles feature two moveable inline handles, offering simplicity and ease of use. Ideal for residential doors, these handles typically lock using a key or thumbturn cylinder and come in various finishes and styles, including contemporary and traditional designs.

Inline Lever/Moveable Pad Handles (Inline)

Lever/Pad inline handles are designed for multipoint locks with split spindle gearboxes, allowing the external pad handle to operate independently from the internal lever.

Offset Lever/Moveable Pad Handles (Offset)

Offset Lever/Pad handles suit double spindle multipoint locks, offering enhanced security by restricting external handle operation without a key.

Lever/Fixed Pad Handles

Fixed Pad handles are used with keywind locks or where external spindle access is unnecessary. The fixed pad prevents external operation, enhancing security.

Handles with Snib Function

Handles featuring a snib allow users to hold the latch back, offering convenience in scenarios requiring frequent door usage without locking.

Essential Measurements for UPVC Door Handles

To ensure a correct fit when replacing UPVC door handles, measure the following:

PZ Centres: Distance from handle spindle centre to euro cylinder hole centre, typically measured in millimetres (e.g., 92mm).

Screw Centres: Distance between fixing screws, typically in millimetres.

Backplate Dimensions: Length and width of the handle backplate for coverage and aesthetic consistency.

Spindle Length: Ensure compatibility with door thickness and lock mechanism.

Additional recommended measurements:

Distance between the top screw hole and spindle centre.
Distance between bottom screw hole and euro cut-out bottom edge.

Installation and Compatibility

Proper handle selection requires matching the above measurements accurately. Ensure the new handle matches existing PZ centres, screw centres, and backplate size, and confirm compatibility with the door’s locking mechanism.

Reliable Brands in UPVC Door Handles

Choose handles in finishes like polished chrome, satin chrome, antique brass, gold, and white, ensuring seamless integration with various door styles.
