Lever/Pad

Lever pad door handles consist of a lever handle on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the other. They are designed to be used with key wind locks, however they can also be fitted to multipoint split spindle door locks (though you'll require a separate dual spindle lock case).

When you are choosing a new set of upvc lever pad door handles it is important to ensure that they correspond to the PZ (distance between the spindle of the handle and the centre of the cylinder hole) of your current multipoint door locks, since they have to be in the same line to allow doors to remain locked, whether from the inside or the outside. The handles we sell are designed to work with the majority of standard cylinder locks, however it is advisable to double glazed window handles-check before purchasing.

If you are looking to upgrade to dual spindle levers, you will need to remove the existing handles and disassemble the lock case. This will require an additional split inline cylinder.

After you have removed the screws that hold the door handle you have, it is an ideal idea to loosen them and examine the mechanism to see the condition it is in. If the screws aren't loose enough it is possible to loosen them even more. Then you can remove the spindle from the handle and replace it with your new upvc handle. It is important to ensure that the handle is in the right position prior to screwing it into place. You can do this by placing your finger between the frame of the door, and the handle, to ensure that it's in the right position.

Lever/Lever

Lever door handles function as a multi point lock using an Euro cylinder. They are found on the majority of upvc double doors, aluminium doors and some wooden doors. They are available in two forms, having the lever inside and a paddle on the outside. Sprung - these come with a spring cassette within the backplate that helps bring the handle lever into the horizontal position. Non-sprung - these do not have a spring mechanism, and must be manually pulled to bring the handle lever to the horizontal position.

To fix a door handle lever that is sagging you'll need to locate the detent access pin or hole. This is usually small, protruding ring or rectangular that is located on the base of the handle plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you are able to remove it using an screwdriver.

Once the window handle repairs is in a horizontal position, you can re-install the screws and tighten them until the handle stays secure on the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the screw threads in order to increase grip and prevent the threads from becoming loose over time.

Drooping lever door handles can be caused by a number of factors. The most frequent cause is that the fixings aren't tight which causes the lever bearing to pull up against the door. It could also be that the levers haven't been operated at a right angle, which compresses the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing into operation.

A common cause of a sprung lever not working correctly is the spring not being in the right position on the backplate. The simplest way to check this is to operate the handle to check whether it changes to the horizontal position.

If your door handles are loose it is important to identify the problem quickly, as this can lead to excessive wear on the screws and possibly to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is also a good idea to tighten all screws that are loose regularly in order to prevent them from becoming loose.
