This ensures that the finish is of high quality and performance is maintained over time. The sprung lever is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for narrower door frames in which the cylinder is further back. A shortened lever can also be used on doors that have a latch that can be activated with the thumb located on the inside.

Lever Pad

When selecting a replacement UPVC handle and spindle it is important to match the PZ dimensions of both the multipoint lock and the uPVC door. This measurement can also be referred to as 'handle centres or cylinder centres'. It is important for matching the correct handles.

After you have identified the correct size of PZ, you will need to make sure that the push and lever pads are designed to fit the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles that you need for your door. These are typically a square or round shape, with an internal lever and an external push pad.

The majority of the UPVC Lever Pads that we offer are sprung. This means they will return to a horizontal position when not in use instead of hanging and possibly sticking in the frame. This helps prevent the draughts and cold air from entering a home. Also, the majority of the UPVC lever pad window handles are hand-operated which allows you to place them on either side of the door.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are usually found on uPVC doors, but can also be used on other types of doors. They work by using a key to unlock a cylinder case which then reveals pins which can be aligned with those inside the lock body, allow them to rotate the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins, with external and internal doors generally having different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder you choose is crucial. It's dependent on the amount of use your doors and handles receive. External doors, for example, should be fitted with cylinders with greater security and internal doors can be secured with a standard cylinder. In addition, some cylinders have extra features that increase security even more, like anti-drill or anti-bump features.

To make sure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it must be measured accurately. The cylinder must be measured from the central screw hole to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn, if there is one. If you are unable measure it using the lock in its position, you can take it out of it. It is important to avoid having a extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks.

There are also cylinders that have been designed to withstand snapping. This is an increasingly common type of attack on cylinders where the break line inside the lock is attacked with a special tool to snap off the front of the cylinder and allow the door to be opened. This is much quicker and more straightforward than opening the door with multipoint locks and leaves no evidence of a break-in, which can impede the insurance claim.
