The sprung lever is adjustable to fit a wide range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames, where the cylinder is located further back. A shorter lever is an ideal choice for doors where the latch can be operated by a thumb turn on the inside.Lever PadA Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently from lever-type handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handle types can either work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two inline or offset spindles (pad). They are commonly utilized on UPVC doors with double glazing. They come in a range of finishes & variations.The handles have been tested to a minimum of 200k cycles and are available in a variety of finishes including White, Silver, Chrome & Gold.

The backplate fixation centres of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is typically an advantage when replacing an old or faulty multi-point door lock mechanism. These levers for handles are also spring-loaded, which solves the issue of handles hanging out of their horizontal position when not in use.When choosing a replacement UPVC handle and spindle it is important to match the dimensions of the PZ on the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement is often known as the ‘handle centre’ or ‘cylinder centres’ and is a critical aspect of matching up the appropriate handles.After you have identified the proper PZ size and the correct PZ size, you must ensure that the lever and push pads are designed to fit the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door.

The cylinder lock is operated by a key which unlocks the cylinder case. This exposes pins that can be aligned to those in the lock, and permit them to rotate the revolving camera, opening the door. Euro cylinders are available with up to six pins. Doors that are internal and external require different levels of security.Choosing the right cylinder is crucial; it depends on how your doors and handles are used. For instance, exterior doors require an extra secure cylinder, while internal doors can be secured using the standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders have extra features that can improve security further, such as anti-drill or anti-bump properties.To ensure that the euro cylinder is the right size for your door, it must be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to each end of the cylinder including the thumb turn if you have one. If you cannot measure using the lock in its position, you can take it out of it. A cylinder that protrudes beyond the handle and escutcheon could be vulnerable to attacks, such as lock snapping, so it is essential to make sure it’s not too long.The design of most newer cylinders includes anti-drilling and bump resistance features.
