How to Install a Double Glazed Door Handle Double door handles with glazing aren't easy to install, but if you're willing to put in the effort and are armed with a bit of knowledge, it's not too hard. It is essential to select the right replacement handle, and take note of the PZ, as well as whether it is sprung or not. uPVC Door Handles There are various kinds of uPVC door handles to pick from, and some are more suitable for some doors than others. Some are designed for aesthetic reasons, while others are more focused on security. For instance, certain uPVC handles are constructed of tougher materials such as stainless steel which can offer more strength and security. However, others are made of plastic such as ABS and uPVC which are less prone to be damaged in the event of a bump or knock. It is important to consider the screw center measurement and the PZ dimension when selecting the handle to replace as well as the length of the backplate. These will help ensure that the new uPVC handle is fitted correctly and seamlessly with the door's lock mechanism. The most commonly used uPVC handles are the lever/lever designs that have two levers that are inline on either on either side. The spindle is connected to the handle through the door. This is used to open or close the door. The pad arrangement is a different popular uPVC handle. It consists of a lever and the pad handle which can be moved. These are fitted to internal doors, such as french doors and patio doors, to prevent people from opening them from the outside. Some handles made of uPVC have an snib that could be used to secure the latch. This provides an additional degree of security. This can be particularly useful if you have young children living in your home who may be enticed by the opportunity to play with the latch and open the door.

A professional locksmith can inspect the issue and recommend a solution. uPVC handles are available from a variety of manufacturers such as Yale, Avocet/WMS Fullex, Hoppe, Roto and many others.

Lever-on-Rose Door Handles Although you may not be aware of it, the door handles on your doors can have a significant impact on how your home appears and feels. Changing your old, dated or cheap handles for new, modern handles can provide a new look to your home and make it appear more modern. One of the most effective ways to give your internal doors a new look is by replacing the handles with lever-on-rose.

If you choose a lever-on rose door handle set, they'll include face and bolt-through fixing options. Both methods are easy to use, but the bolt-through method is preferred as it allows for an extra secure connection, while minimizing damage to the door. Once you've decided on your lever-on rose door handles, take the existing escutcheons from your doors and drill 5mm holes into the corners of the door where you plan to install the handles.

Once you have evenly tightened all of the bolts, check that your levers operate freely and that all parts are securely mounted.
