How to Install a Double Glazed Door Handle Double door handles with glazing can be tricky to install however if you're willing to put in the effort and have a basic understanding of the subject, it's not that difficult. The key is to ensure that you select the right replacement handle and note of the PZ and whether or not it's spring-loaded. uPVC Door Handles There are various kinds of uPVC door handles to choose from, and some are more suitable for some doors than others. Some are designed for aesthetic purposes, while others are more security-focused. For instance, certain uPVC handles are constructed from harder materials like stainless steel which can offer extra strength and security whilst others are made from plastic such as ABS and uPVC which are less prone to be damaged in the case of a knock or bump. When deciding on the new handle, it is important to consider the PZ dimension and screw centre measurements into account along with the length of the back plate. This will ensure that the new uPVC handle is fitted correctly and is compatible with the door's lock mechanism. The most common uPVC handle is the lever/lever model that features two inline levers on either side. These are connected through the door by spindles which are used to open and close the door. The pad arrangement is another popular uPVC handle. It consists of a lever and a pad handle that can be moved. They are usually fitted to internal doors, like patio doors and french doors, to prevent people from opening them from outside. Some uPVC door handles have a snib-handle that can be activated to ensure that the latch is secured, offering an additional layer of security. This is especially useful if there are young children living in the home who may be enticed by the latch to let themselves go. If your double-glazed door isn't able to open or the handle is drooping and sagging, it's not an issue with the handle. Instead, the worn-out springs in the lock case could be the reason. A professional locksmith will be able to examine the issue and suggest the best solution. uPVC handles are available from a range of manufacturers, including Yale Avocet/WMS Fullex, Hoppe, Roto and many more. They come in a variety of colors and finishes to fit your style. Some are powder-coated, while others feature a low-maintenance PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition), which is a long-lasting high-quality finish. Lever-on-Rose Door Handles You may not be aware of it however, the handles that you use on your front door affect how you feel and appear at your home. Switching out your old, outdated or cheap handles for new, stylish handles can provide a new look to your home and instantly make it appear more modern. Replace your door handles with lever-on rose door handles. This is a great way to modernize them. They are popular with homeowners due to their modern, contemporary look as well as concealing the screw and handle fittings under a circular piece of metal known as a rose. This gives a seamless, spoil-free finish to your doors while also providing an elegant appearance that adds value to your property. Lever-on rose door handles are available in a variety of styles and finishes, so you can find the perfect one for your home. They are also suitable for use with latches, locks, and thumb-turns based on your preference. They can be used with any type of interior door and are suitable for both new homes as well as renovations. There are two different types of backings that can be found on the lever-on-rose door handle such as backplates and roses. The roses are round and cover a tiny portion of the handle. Backplates are rectangular and are more traditional in appearance. If you choose a lever-on rose handle set, they will have face and bolt-through fixing options. Both are simple to use, but the bolt-through method is preferred because it provides a more secure connection and minimizes damage to the door. After you have decided on the lever-on rose handles for your door remove the escutcheons you have already installed and drill 5mm holes into each corner of the door where the handles will be put. Set the roses on top of the holes and screw them in place with the provided screws. Make sure the grub screw in each lever is properly aligned with the hole in the lever shank and then tighten up. Once you have evenly tightened all of the bolts, make sure that the levers work freely and that all parts are securely fitted. Pad Door Handles Door handles aren't simply functional features. They can also add aesthetic appeal to your door. There are many different styles available and determining the one that is best for your door will depend on how you want it to work. There are a variety of ways to alter the handle to ensure that it fits perfectly and functions optimally. Lever pad handles are a great choice for those looking to enhance the look of their doors. They are designed for split spindle locks, and have a lever on either side of the door. Each lever operates on its own using offset spindles. This design allows for more ergonomic use and also stops the latch from being withdrawn from the outside, ensuring that only a key could be used to open the door (unless it is deadlocked). uPVC handles are available in various designs and finishes. They are typically made of zinc alloy or die-cast aluminum. This means they are hard-wearing and can withstand the elements. Certain manufacturers offer a warranty on their products to ensure that you can be certain that they will last. It is important to choose a reputable manufacturer for your door handles, since they'll have an established track record in terms of quality and customer service. It is important to measure three things before purchasing a new door handle in order to ensure the new handles will fit correctly. The first measurement is known as the PZ that is the measurement of the distance between the screw fixing points on the backplate of the handle. The second measurement is the handle thickness and the third is the centre hole measurement of the multipoint lock that will be installed to the door. The Heritage Inline Sprung Lever Pad door handle is an extremely popular choice for those looking to replace their existing handles. The handle is designed for the Euro Cylinder multi-point lock and has a PZ center of 92mm. The handle is equipped with a choice of Type A or B backplates that can be used to fit different door thicknesses. Gate Grips You can use a gate grip when your doors are uPVC. This will keep them looking new. They are easy to install, look stunning and come in a variety of finishes. There are a few designed to withstand salty conditions and others designed specifically for marine environments. They are easy to put in as well and can be put onto an oval or a round rose and allow you to include a bathroom turn, keyhole, release, and release without the need for extra hardware. A gate grip is a type of handle that you can attach to your door. It looks somewhat like the letter H. It functions by using the same mechanism that pull grips use. They are available in many places, including office buildings, apartments and even homes. They also serve to secure homes and apartments in gated communities, as well in commercial properties. They are a great choice for those who struggle using a traditional knob style handle, for example older adults with motor deficiency or young children. The angled design of a gate grip makes it possible for the hand to hold on with a larger amount of force making them easier to grip and turn. They can also be combined with keys for additional security since keys don't require a large amount of pressure to operate, as opposed to a door knob which is difficult to use for those with small hands or have limited strength. On the internet, you can find gate grips at sites such as McCoy Mart. They have a large collection of door handles and hardware. There are options to suit all budgets from cheap, standard options to more luxurious models. You can choose from a variety of colours that complement your home or office.

The grips are equipped with ribs that dampen vibrations, thus reducing feedback between the hands and bar. The grips have one lock that stops play, thus reducing the chance of the sleeve moving accidentally from side to side.
