Lever/Pad Lever pad door handles consist of the lever handle on one side and a paddle-shaped handle on the other. These are designed for use with key wind locks. However, they can be fitted to multipoint split spindle door locks. Once you have chosen the correct handle for the doors, the available finishes will be shown in the drop-down list. Certain types of handles are not available in all finishes. It is recommended to examine the technical drawing and dimensions sections for the particular item that you want to ensure that you get the right fit and size. It is important that when choosing the new set of upvc lever pad handles, they are in line with the PZ (distance from the spindle of the handle to the middle of the hole in the cylinder) of your multipoint door locks. This is because the handles are required to be aligned so that the doors remain locked, regardless of whether you are looking at them from the outside or inside. The handles we sell are designed to work with a variety of standard cylinder locks, however you should always double-check before making a purchase.

You can purchase these separately. We have included a diagram of the technical aspects in the images of each product. It is a good thing to loosen the screws that are holding your existing door handle and then inspect the mechanism. If the screws aren't loose enough it is possible to loosen them further. After that, you can take the spindle from the door handle and replace it with your new Upvc handle. Before putting the handle in the frame, it is a good idea to ensure that it is in the proper position. You can do this by placing your finger in the gap between the door frame and the handle to make sure that it is in a level position. Lever/Lever The lever handles on doors are used to operate a multi-point lock with the Euro cylinder. They are located on many double upvc doors as well as wooden and aluminum doors. They come in two types, with the lever inside and a paddle outside. Sprung – These include a spring cassette within the backplate that helps bring the handle lever to the horizontal position. Non-sprung – These do not include a spring mechanism and will require manual pulled to bring the handle lever to the horizontal position. To fix the door handle lever that is sliding you'll need to locate the detent access pin or hole. It's typically a small hole or protruding ring or rectangle located on the handle base plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you are able to remove it using the help of a screwdriver. After the handle is positioned horizontally, you can reinstall the screws. Tighten them to ensure that the handle stays connected to the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the threads of screws to improve grip and prevent the threads from becoming loose over time. Drooping lever handles on door handles could be the result of many factors. The most common cause is that the fixings are too tight which causes the lever bearing to bind up against the door. It is also possible that the levers haven't been adjusted at the right angle, which stretches the latch mechanism and stops it from fully springing into motion. Another common cause is that the lever that is sprung is not functioning properly and this is typically due to the sprung not being in the right position within the backplate. To determine whether the handle is back to its horizontal position, simply turn it. If your door handles are loose, it is crucial to find the issue fast, as this can lead to excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten loose screws frequently to stop them from becoming looser.
