Types of UPVC Door Handles If your upvc door handle needs replacing it's essential to find the right replacement for your home. A locksmith can offer and install high-security uPVC door handles with extra security features. The most important measurements are measurement A (known as PZ) and the length of the backplate (measurement F). Check these measurements to ensure that your new uPVC handles will fit. Lever/Lever A lever is a solid bar pivoted around a point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the bar, the fulcrum will tend to turn in the direction the force is applied. This rotation multiplies the force applied and allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you attempted to apply it directly to the load. The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever is able to move. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage in mechanical terms increases when the lever is extended. You can calculate mechanical advantage by dividing distance from fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by distance between fulcrum point and the end of the lever. Levers can have different effects based on the method by which the force is applied. For instance the class 2 lever is inclined to turn in the opposite direction as the effort force is applied (like a teeter-totter). If you push the door handle the force will create the same rotational effects as this. However, levers don't create energy. They simply increase the force you exert by converting a small amount of effort across a large distance into a larger amount of force applied over a smaller distance. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and move massive amounts of cargo. This is also the reason behind the levers that are found in many everyday tools, such as crowbars and fishing rods, claws for hammers and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your car. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles are a type of door handle made from UPVC that have levers on both sides that operate the multipoint lock. They come in a variety of designs and finishes and are suitable for a variety of materials including UPVC, Aluminium & Timber doors.

These can be used to replace the existing upvc door. They are usually operated by lifting up the levers to throw out all of the multipoint locks before turning the key to close or unlock. They provide a bit more security than standard lever door handles because locking can only be performed through the inside with a key. They are not as secure as a cylinder bolt however they are a reasonable alternative for a home with more security.

The lever is pushed downwards to operate a simple latch inside the door, which can be locked using keys. Certain lever privacy handles work based on this same principle however, with the addition of the lock snib (like knobs for doors). A snib can be a extremely useful tool, particularly in homes where privacy and security are essential. You can use the snib button to stop your guests from entering the home until they are prepared. This type handle can also be used on interior doors such as those in bedrooms where you want to restrict access from outside. In certain situations the snib button can cause problems, especially when you have doors and locks that are distorted.

This is accomplished by using the 'pad-shaped' handle that locks into the gap between the handle and lock case. This kind of handle is designed for uPVC doors with multipoint locks that operate using a split spindle operation.
