The handle can be placed and angled to suit all users. The handle has been endurance-tested to 200 000 cycles. This ensures that the quality of finish and performance is maintained over time. The sprung lever is also adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is useful in doors that are narrower, where the cylinder is situated further away from the door. A shortened lever can also be used on doors with a latch that can be activated with the thumb located on the inside.
Lever Pad
A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently to the lever type handles found on most doors. These handle types are either operated by a single spindle or by two spindles inline or offset. They are usually used on UPVC double glazed doors and come in many variations & finishes.

The 211mm backplate fixation centres allow for a wider handle, which is typically a benefit when replacing an old or faulty multi-point door lock mechanism. The levers for these handles have springs, which eliminate the issue of door handles that sag out of the horizontal position when they are not being used.
When choosing a replacement UPVC handle and spindle it is important to match the dimensions of the PZ on the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement may also be called 'handle centres or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the right handles.

They work by using a key to unlock a cylinder that is then revealed with pins that can be aligned to those inside the lock body, allow them to rotate an revolving cam, opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. Doors that are internal and external require different levels of security.
Choosing the right cylinder is essential; it is dependent on the way your doors and handle are utilized. Doors that are external, for instance, should be fitted with cylinders with greater security while internal doors can be secured using a standard cylinder. Some cylinders have extra features that can improve security, for instance, anti-drill or anti bump properties.
To ensure that the euro cylinder is the correct size for your door, it should be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the central fixing screw hole to the other end of the cylinder, including the thumb turn if you have one. It is best to do this with the lock in place however in the event that this is not feasible, you can take it off and take it off to measure. It is crucial to avoid having a cylindrical lock that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks.
The majority of modern cylinders have been constructed with bump and anti-drill features built into their design. They are designed to decrease the risk of attack by forcing the cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction. This can to deflect an attack and keep your door safe.
Certain cylinders are constructed to withstand snapping. This is a common attack on cylinders. A specific tool is used to break the break line of the lock, and the front of the cylinder is snapped off.

It also leaves less evidence of the burglary which could make it difficult to prove insurance claims.
