This helps to ensure the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever can be reduced to accommodate a wider range of locks. This is particularly useful in doors that are narrower, where the cylinder is further back from the door. A lever that is shorter is an ideal choice for doors where the latch could be opened by a thumb turn on the inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles found on most doors. These handles are operated by a single spindle or by two spindles inline or offset. They are commonly utilized on UPVC doors with double glazing window handle glazing and come in a variety of finishes and variations.

The handles have been tested to at least 200 000 cycles and are available in various finishes, including White and Silver, as well as Chrome & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to corrosion. This gives the handle the best performance and long-lasting durability for its intended use.

The majority of upvc handle window lever pads we offer are sprung, which means that they return to their horizontal position when they are not in use, instead of hanging out and possibly sticking in the frame. This prevents draughts from entering the building. It is also the case that the majority of the UPVC handle lever pad style handles are handed, allowing you to install them on either side of the door.

The case is then able to reveal pins that can be aligned to the pins in the lock, allowing them to turn the revolving camera, opening the door. Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins, with both internal and external doors typically needing different levels of security.

For instance, exterior doors should be fitted with a higher security cylinder, while doors inside can be secured using a standard cylinder. In addition, some cylinders come with additional features that increase security, for instance anti-drill or anti-bump properties.
