This allows for the assurance of the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever can also be reduced to accommodate a wider range of locks. This is useful for doors with narrower openings where the cylinder is situated further back from the bifold door handle replacement. A shortened lever can also be used for doors with latches that can be opened by the thumb on the inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle is distinct from the lever handles commonly found on doors. These handles are operated by one spindle, or two spindles, either inline or offset. They are usually employed on UPVC double glazing windows handles-glazed doors and are available in a variety of variations and finishes.

Euro Cylinder

Cylinder locks are typically used on uPVC doors, but can also be found on other types of doors. The cylinder lock operates with a key that unlocks the cylinder case. 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, thereby opening the door. Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder you choose is vital. It's dependent on the type of use your doors and handles receive. External doors, for example are required to be fitted with cylinders that are more secure, whereas doors inside can be secured using an ordinary cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that can increase security, like anti-drill or anti bump properties.

To make sure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it must be measured correctly. The cylinder needs to be measured from the screw hole at the center to the ends of the cylinder. This includes the thumb turn if there is one. If you are unable to measure with the lock in position, you can remove it. It is important to avoid having a cylinder that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to snapping lock attacks.

There are cylinders constructed to withstand snapping. This is a more frequent method of attack on cylinders where the break line inside the lock is smashed using a special tool to snap off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to open. This is faster and less difficult than gaining access through multipoint locks and leaves no evidence of a break-in which can hinder the insurance claim.
