Door handle replacements can be an impactful improvement to both the function and appearance of your aluminium or uPVC doors. Whether your current door handle is not turning, broken or simply unattractive, our fitters will change it. Changing handles will refresh the look of the door while maintaining security and ease of use.

Types of Door Handles

Before we look into the door handle replacement process, it’s essential to understand the different types of door handles available. This is because selecting the correct style will ensure that your new handle fits and functions correctly.

Lever Lever Handles:

Lever handles are a popular choice for both interior and exterior doors. They consist of a long handle attached to a spindle that rotates to open the door. Moreover, they are easy to use and our experts fit them in various styles, from modern to traditional.

Lever Pad Handles:

Our fitter always install the pad handle on the outside of the door and it is usually offset to the inner lever handle. This means that the normal lever on the inside and the pad on the outside act independently from each other using 2 spindles.

In conclusion, the main advantage with the door closed is that the pad will not open the door without the key. 

Type A Handles:

Our technicians identify Type A handles by the screw holes. Typically, one screw is at the bottom and the other just below the handle. These are suitable for certain Euro multi point locks.

Type B Handles:

Our technicians identify Type B handles by the 2 screwholes at either end of the handles. These, including Type A handles, are usually sprung uPVC door handles that come with spring cassettes installed in the backplate. When our fitter releases the lever, these springs bring the handle to the perfect horizontal position.
