Why Choose uPVC Door Handles?

When it comes to selecting door handles, uPVC options stand out for several reasons:

• Durability: Unlike traditional wooden or metal handles, uPVC handles are resistant to rust, corrosion, and fading.
• Security: Many uPVC door handles are designed to accommodate multi-point locking systems, providing enhanced security against break-ins.
• Low Maintenance: uPVC handles require minimal upkeep – a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth keeps them looking new.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to other materials, uPVC is more affordable, making it a practical choice for budget-conscious homeowners.

Types of uPVC Door Handles

uPVC door handles come in a variety of styles and configurations to suit different door types:

• Lever Lever Handles: These are the most common, featuring a lever on both sides of the door. Ideal for doors with multi-point locking systems.
• Lever Pad Handles: With a lever on one side and a pad on the other, these handles offer extra security, as the latch cannot be retracted from the outside without a key.
• Offset and Inline Handles: Depending on the door’s locking mechanism, you can choose between offset (where the handles are at different heights) or inline (where they are level) designs.

Common Issues with uPVC Door Handles

While generally reliable, uPVC door handles can experience some issues over time:

• Stiff or Loose Handles: Often due to misalignment or wear in the internal mechanisms.
• Broken Springs: Can result in handles drooping or not returning to the neutral position.
• Difficulty Locking: Usually caused by worn-out locking mechanisms or poorly aligned door frames.
