When you are choosing new lever pad door handles made of upvc, it is crucial to make sure that they correspond to the PZ (distance between the spindle of the handle and the centre of the hole for the cylinder) of your existing multipoint door locks, as these need to be in line for the doors to remain locked, either from the inside or the outside. The handles we offer are designed to work with most conventional cylinder locks, however it is advisable to double-check before making a purchase. You will need to remove your handles that you have already installed and then dismantle the lock case if you are upgrading to dual spindle handle levers because this will require an additional split cylinder inline. These are available separately and we have a full technical diagram for you to look at in the images for each product. After you have removed the screws that hold your existing door handle it is recommended to loosen them, and then inspect the mechanism to see how it's performing. If the screws aren't tight enough, you may need to loosen them even more. After that, you can take the spindle from the handle and replace it with your new Upvc handle. It is essential to ensure that the handle is in the proper position before screwing it into place. You can do this by placing your finger between the frame and the handle to make sure that it is level. Lever/Lever The lever door handles are used to operate a multi-point lock with a Euro cylinder. They are located on many double upvc doors as well as some wooden and aluminium doors. They have a lever inside and a paddle on the outside and are generally available in two types. Sprung – they have a spring cassette fitted inside the backplate to move the handle lever to a horizontal position. Non-sprung: These do not include a mechanism that can spring the handle lever into a horizontal position. To fix the door handle of a lever that is sagging it is necessary to locate the detent access hole or pin, which is typically a small round or rectangle shape hole or protruding pin that is located on the opposite side of the handle base plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you are able to take it out using a screwdriver. After the handle is positioned horizontally, you can install the screws. Make sure to tighten them so that the handle remains firmly attached to the base plate. It is also advisable to apply a threadlocking adhesive solution to the threads of the screw to increase the grip and prevent them from becoming loose over time. Drooping lever handles on door handles could be the result of various causes. The most frequent cause is that the fixings aren't tight and the lever bearing to get tangled against the door. It could also be that the levers haven't been operated at a right angle, which causes compression of the latch mechanism and prevents it from fully springing into action. A common cause of spring levers that are not functioning properly is the spring not being in the proper position on the backplate. The easiest way to test this is to move the handle to check if it returns to its horizontal position. If your door handles are loose, it is essential to spot the issue fast, as this could lead to excessive wear on the screws, and even to the handle falling off the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten loose screws frequently to prevent them from becoming looser.
