This is particularly beneficial in doors with smaller door frames where the cylinder is further back. A shorter lever can be used on doors with latches that can be opened by the thumb inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle is distinct from the lever handles commonly found on doors. These handle types are either operated by one spindle, or two spindles, either inline or offset. They are usually employed on UPVC double glazed doors. They come in many variations & styles.

The backplate fixation centers of 211mm permit a larger handle, which is typically a benefit when replacing an old or damaged multi-point door lock mechanism. These handle levers are also spring-loaded, thereby solving the issue of handles hanging out of their horizontal position when not in use.

When selecting the replacement UPVC handle and spindle, it is essential to match the dimensions of the PZ on the multipoint lock as well as the uPVC door. This measurement is often referred to as the handle centre or 'cylinder centres which is a crucial aspect of matching up the correct handles.

Euro Cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins, with external and internal doors usually requiring different levels of security.

The selection of a cylinder is vital. It depends on the use that your doors and handles will receive. External doors, for example should be equipped with cylinders that are more secure and doors inside can be secured with the standard cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that can increase security, such as anti-drill or anti bump properties.

A euro cylinder should be properly measured to ensure it's the correct size for your door. The cylinder should be measured from the hole in the center of the fixing screw to the end of the cylinder including the thumb turn if you have one. It is recommended to do this with the lock in place however, in the event that this is not possible, you may remove it to take measurements.
