Certain lever handle sets can be used either on the left or right side of the door. But, some aren't and must be ordered specifically for your door orientation. Before ordering, we recommend that you check the direction of any lever set. Certain brands, like Schlage supply only reversible handles for doors that are standard.

Un-sprung

As the name suggests the door handles made of upvc do not have a spring cassette inside their back plate. The latch/multi-point locks apply a force that returns their lever to its horizontal position after use. This is less effective over time, which causes the handles to droop.

If you are experiencing problems with the handle, the spring in the cassette is probably worn out and must be replaced. The best way to determine this is to take the handle off and operating the lever. If the handles are drooping it means that their spring strength has been lost. It is important to install high-quality locks and latches on your replacement conservatory doors (go to this web-site) to prevent this from occurring.

The majority of replacement handles come with spring cassettes in the backplate that holds the lever. They work in conjunction with a multi-point or standard tubular latch to ensure the door handles return to the horizontal position after use. This is a crucial aspect, as it could be difficult to operate handles that aren't in the proper position if they fail to return to their initial position.

However, there are some upvc handles on the market that do not contain the spring cassette and therefore must be fitted with heavy duty latches/locks. They are more prevalent on older upvc doors where the handles haven't been updated for a long time.

Installing the handle is simple once you have selected the right type and the appropriate length for your door made of upvc. Follow the instructions provided. Carefully align the screw holes on the handle's exterior to the existing ones in your euro profile cylinder then insert the spindle and screws supplied and tighten it up. Repeat the process for the internal handle.

One thing to be aware of is that the cylinders supplied with these handle sets aren't the standard cylinders used on modern multi-point locks. The cylinders included in these handle sets are smaller in diameter and require larger bulb-shaped cylinders which are normally used on older multipoint doors. The cylinders are available from your local locksmith, or purchased online. It is an expense in addition to the new upvc handles and is only necessary if your double glazed door has old multi-point locks. These cylinders are part of the majority of upvc handle sets available since they are the most popular size. It is a good idea, however, to keep spare cylinders in the event that they get damaged or lost. You'll save time and money by not having to buy a new handle set. You can also use the tool to repair your upvc handles if the spring in the handle cassette wears out or breaks. This can happen if too much force is applied when using the door handles, specifically by children or elderly people.
