A shorter lever can be used on doors that have a latch which can be operated with the thumb located on the inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles that are used on the majority of doors. The handle can operate from a single spindle (inline) or independently from each side by using two inline or offset spindles (pad). They are generally employed on UPVC double glazed doors and come in a variety of styles and finishes.

The handles have been tested to a minimum of 200,000 cycles and are available in several finishes including White and Silver, as well as Chrome & Gold. The finish is BS EN 1670 Grade 5 and is resistant to rust. This gives the handle a high performance and durability for its intended purpose.

This measurement is also referred to as the  handle centre or 'cylinder centres' and is a critical aspect in ensuring that you have the correct handles.

After you have identified the correct PZ size it is important to ensure that the push and lever pads are designed to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles that you need for your door. They are usually rectangular or round in design with an internal lever and an external push pad.

Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins, with both internal and external doors typically having different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder you choose is essential. It is based on the use that your doors and handles receive. For example, external doors should be fitted with an extra secure cylinder, while doors inside can be secured with a standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders have extra features that increase security even more, like anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics.

To make sure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it should be measured correctly. The cylinder should be measured from the central fixing screw hole to each end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one. If you cannot measure using the lock in its position, you can take it out of it. It is crucial to ensure that there is no extension of the cylinder beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to snapping lock attacks.
