The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles, this will ensure the quality of the finish and performance of the handle over time. The sprung lever can also be cut to fit the widest range of locks. This is particularly beneficial in doors with smaller door frames where the cylinder is further back. A lever that is shorter is a good choice for doors where the latch can be operated by a thumb turn located on the inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc operates differently than lever handles that are found on the majority of doors. These handles are operated by a single spindle or by two spindles, either inline or offset. They are commonly used on UPVC doors with double glazing. They come in a range of finishes and variations.

Once you have the correct PZ size, you'll have to ensure that the lever pads and push pads are in a appropriate shape to accommodate the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handles that you require for your doors. They are typically round or square with an internal lever, and an external push pad.

Euro Cylinders are available with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security.

Choosing the right cylinder is crucial; it is dependent on how your doors and handle are used. External doors, for instance are required to be fitted with cylinders that are more secure while doors inside can be secured using the standard cylinder. Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that can increase security, such as anti-drill or anti-bump properties.

To ensure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it must be measured correctly. The cylinder should be measured from the central fixing screw hole to the end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one.

This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks.

This is a more frequent method of attack on cylinders, which is where the break line of the lock is attacked by a tool that is specially designed to snap off the front of the cylinder and allow the door to open.
