Lever/Pad Lever pad handles are made up of a lever on one side and a handle that is shaped like a paddle on the opposite. These are designed for use with key wind locks. However they can also be attached to multipoint split spindle door locks. Once you have selected the correct handle for the doors the finishes will be listed in the drop-down list. Certain styles of handles are not available in all finishes. It is recommended to examine the technical drawing and size sections for the specific product you are looking for to ensure that you get the correct size and fit. When you are choosing new lever pad door handles made of upvc, it is important to ensure that they are in line with the PZ (distance between the spindle of the handle and the centre of the cylinder hole) of your current multipoint door locks, as they need to be in the same line to allow doors to remain locked, whether from the inside or the outside. Our handles are designed to fit most standard cylinders, but it is important to double-check before purchasing. If you want to upgrade to dual spindle levers, you'll need to take out the existing handles and take apart the lock case. This will require an additional split inline cylinder. You can purchase these separately. We have included a diagram of the technical aspects in the images of each product. Once you have removed the screws holding the handle on your door, it is an ideal idea to loosen them and examine the mechanism to see the condition it is in. It is possible that you will need to loosen the screws even more when they aren't tight. After that, you can take off the old spindle and handle and put in your new door handle made of upvc. Before you screw the handle into the frame, it is a good idea to make sure it is in the proper position. You can do this by inserting your finger into the gap between the door frame and the handle to make sure it is in a level position. Lever/Lever Lever door handles operate with a multi-point lock that utilizes an Euro Cylinder and are found on the majority of double doors made of aluminium, upvc doors and a few wooden doors. They feature a lever inside and an outside paddle and are generally available in two different types. Sprung – They have a spring cassette inside the backplate, which helps bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. Non-sprung: These do NOT have a mechanism for bringing the handle lever into a horizontal position. To fix a sagging lever door handle, you will need to find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is usually an elongated or rectangular shape hole or protruding pin located on one side of the base plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you are able to remove it using the help of a screwdriver. After the handle is positioned horizontally, you can install the screws. Close them to ensure that the handle remains firmly fixed to the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the threads of the screw to improve grip and prevent them from loosening over time. There are many reasons why door handles of levers slide. The most common reason is that the fixings are too tight, causing the lever bearing to bind against the door. It could also be that the levers aren't being operated in a straight line and this is causing compression of the latch mechanism and preventing it from fully springing back into operation. Another common reason is that the sprung lever is not operating correctly and this is usually due to the sprung not being in the proper position within the backplate. The most effective way to determine this is to operate the handle to check whether it returns to the horizontal position. It is important to repair any door handles that are damaged as soon as you can. This could lead to excessive wear on the screws and the handle may even be able to fall off the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten loose screws frequently to stop them from becoming looser.
