Door handles to suit a range of multipoint locks from different lock manufacturers. All handles come in pairs and can be used for either left or right-handed doors unless otherwise specified.
- The Lever/Pad handles are for ‘split follower’ or ‘split spindle’ locks where the bolts are engaged by lifting the lever handle upwards, but do not allow the door to be opened from outside without the key.
- The Lever/Pull handles feature fixed external pull handles, and are suited for use on door locks which are engaged by a couple of turns of the key only (key-wind locks).
Both types are most commonly suited to front doors, as they do not allow anyone to gain entry from outside without a key.
One of the most important measurements you will need to match in order to obtain the correct handles is what is known as the ‘PZ’ size.
This is the measurement from the centre of the square spindle hole (for the lever) to the centre of the circular part of the key barrel. All of our Lever/Pull handles have a PZ measurement of 92mm.
Some of the Lever/Pad handles have ‘offset’ levers (the external lever generally being lower down on the plate than the internal lever). If this is the case you will need to measure both PZ sizes.
Some handles include extra handle springs (where possible), which assist in returning the lever back to its original position after use. This prevents the lever from dropping downwards when the lock’s internal springs become worn. See individual product details to see if handle sets are supplied sprung or un-sprung.
