The sprung lever can be shortened to fit a wider range of locks. This is particularly useful for narrower doors where the cylinder is further back from the door. A shortened lever is also a good choice for doors where the latch can be operated by a thumb turn inside.

Lever Pad

These handle types can either work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two offset spindles or inline (pad). They are typically utilized on UPVC doors with double glazing window handles glazing and come in a variety of finishes and variations.

The 211mm backplate fixation centres allow for a wider handle, which is usually a benefit when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. These handle levers are also spring-loaded, which solves the issue of handles hanging from their horizontal position when they are not in use.

When selecting a replacement UPVC handle and spindle it is crucial to match the dimensions of the PZ of the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement is often called the 'handle centre' or 'cylinder centres and is an essential aspect in ensuring that you have the correct handles.

Once you have the proper PZ size you will then need to ensure that the handle lever pads and push pads are of a suitable shape for the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved handles you require for your doors. These are typically of a round or square shape with an internal lever and an external push pad.

Most of the UPVC lever pads we offer are sprung, which means that they will return to their horizontal position after not in use, instead of hanging out and potentially sticking in the frame. This prevents draughts from entering the property. The majority of UPVC lever pad handles come in both left and right handed versions that allow them to be put on either side of doors.

Euro cylinders are available with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security.

Selecting the right cylinder for your needs is crucial; it depends on how your doors and handles are used. External doors, for instance, should be fitted with cylinders that are more secure, whereas doors inside can be secured using an ordinary cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that can increase security, for instance, anti-drill or anti bump properties.

To ensure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it should be measured correctly. The cylinder should be measured from the screw hole in the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn if there is one. If you cannot measure using the lock in a fixed position, you can take it out of it. A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon might be vulnerable to attacks, such as snapping locks, so it is essential that it's not too long.

The design of the latest cylinders comes with anti-drilling as well as bump resistance features. These are designed to reduce the chances of an attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This can help to deflect an attack and protect your door.

There are also cylinders that have been made to withstand snapping. This is a growing method of attack on cylinders, which is where the break line of the lock is attacked by a tool that is specially designed to break the front of the cylinder and allow the door to open. This is faster and easier to achieve than gaining access through a multipoint lock and leaves no evidence of a break-in, which can hinder an insurance claim.
