Inline Lever/Lever

A lever handle or lever is a modern-day door handle designed to work with new or replacement doors. This style of handle is available in many designs and finishes. This handle is available from several manufacturers, including Avocet ERA Fullex Hoppe Mila Millenco Yale.

Fab and Fix Windsor Inline Sprung Lever Door Handle

The door handles of uPVC/Composite are made of sturdy materials and are ideal for doors with multi-point locks that require a heavy duty design. The handles are inline and they utilize the same spindle and screws to fix them. They can be easily mounted on new or existing uPVC/Composite doors.

The handle can be positioned and angled to fit any user. The handle has been tested to 200,000 cycles. This helps ensure that the finish is of high quality and performance will last for a long time. The sprung lever can be shortened to fit a wider range of locks. This is particularly beneficial for doors with narrower frames, in which the cylinder is further back. A lever that is shorter can be used for doors with a latch which can be operated with the thumb inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc functions differently than lever handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handle types can either work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two inline or offset spindles (pad). They are usually employed on UPVC doors with double glazing and come in a variety of finishes & variations.

The handles are available in a variety of finishes, including White, Chrome and Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and resistant to corrosion. This provides the handle with a high performance and durability for its intended purpose.


All UPVC levers for handles come with a spindle, screws, and can be fitted on a uPVC door. The backplate fixation centres of 211mm allow for a bigger handle, which is typically beneficial when replacing a damaged or old multi-point door lock mechanism. These handle levers are also spring-loaded, which solves the issue of door handles sagging from their horizontal position when they are not in use.

It is crucial to match the dimensions of the PZ for both the multipoint lock and the uPVC doors when selecting a replacement UPVC spindle and handle. This measurement can also be called 'handle centres' or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the correct handles.

After you have determined the correct size of PZ, you will need to ensure that the push and lever pads are shaped to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door. They typically have rectangular or round in design with an internal lever and an external push pad.

Most of the UPVC lever pads that we sell are sprung, meaning that they will return to their horizontal position when not in use, rather than hanging out and possibly sticking in the frame. This prevents draughts from entering the home. It is also the case that the majority of the UPVC handle lever pad style handles are swivel, allowing you to install them on either side of the door.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are usually used on uPVC doors, but they can be utilized on other types of doors. The cylinder lock is operated by a key which unlocks the cylinder's casing. The case is then able to reveal pins that can be aligned with those in the lock, allowing them to turn the revolving camera, thereby opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. External and internal doors require different levels of security.

Choosing the right cylinder is vitally important; this is contingent on how your door and handle are used. For instance, doors that are external should be fitted with a higher security cylinder, while doors inside can be secured with a standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders come with additional features which can enhance security further, such as anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics.

To make sure that the euro cylinder is the correct size for your door, it should be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the screw hole at the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn if there is one. It is best to do this while the lock is in place however, when this isn't possible, you can remove it to take measurements. It is important to not have a cylinder that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This can make it susceptible to lock snapping attacks.

Most modern cylinders are made with bump and anti-drill features built into their design. They are designed to decrease the chances of an attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This will help to prevent attacks and protect your doors.

Certain cylinders are made to withstand snapping. This is a typical attack on cylinders. A special tool is used to break the break line of the lock, and the front of the cylinder is snapped off. This is faster and easier to achieve than gaining access through a multipoint lock and leaves no evidence of a break-in which can impede an insurance claim.

Spring Cassette

The handles were previously equipped with no spring and would droop when the locking mechanism was disengaged. Adding this simple component is one of the best methods to correct this and it is also a great way to prevent your doors made of upvc from getting stuck in either closed or open position, as they aren't always easy to manually close by hand.
