When choosing a new set of lever pad door handles made of upvc, it is essential to ensure that they correspond to the PZ (distance between the spindle of the handle and the center of the hole for the cylinder) of your existing multipoint locks, as they need to be in the same line to allow doors to remain locked, whether from the inside or outside.

After you have removed the screws that hold your existing door handle it is a good idea to loosen them and inspect the mechanism to see what condition it is in. You may have to loosen the screws even more if they are not tight, and then you can take off the old handle and spindle and replace it with a new upvc door handle .

They are available in two forms, having an interior lever and a paddle on the outside. Sprung – these come with a spring cassette inside the backplate to move the handle lever to an upright position. Non-sprung – they do not have a spring mechanism and must be manually pulled to bring the handle lever back to its horizontal position. To fix the door handle of a lever that is sagging it is necessary to locate the detent access hole or pin, which is typically a small rectangle or round shape hole or protruding pin situated on one side of the handle base plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you are able to remove it using a screwdriver. When the handle is in a horizontal position, you can re-install the screws and tighten them until the handle is secure on the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the screw threads in order to improve grip and prevent the threads from becoming loose over time. There are many reasons that door handles for levers droop. The most common reason is that the fixings have been over tightened and are putting stress on the lever bearing and causing it to pull against the door's face. It could also be that the levers haven't been operated at the correct angle, which stretches the latch mechanism and prevents it from fully springing into motion. The most common reason for spring levers that are not functioning properly is the spring not being in the correct position on the backplate. To determine whether the handle is back to horizontal, simply operate it. It is essential to fix any door handles that are loose immediately. This could lead to excessive wear on the screws, and the handle could be able to fall off the base plate.
