How to Choose the Right uPVC Door Handle

• Measure PZ Centres: This is the distance from the centre of the spindle hole to the centre of the keyhole — 92mm is the most common size for UPVC and composite doors.
• Check Fixing Centres: Also known as the backplate fixing centres — the distance between the screw holes. Correct measurement ensures a secure fit.
• Sprung vs Unsprung: Many modern handles include a spring that returns the lever to its horizontal position. If your existing handle is sprung, your replacement should be too.
• Lock Compatibility: Make sure the handle you choose is compatible with your lock type and door thickness — especially important on composite and patio door applications.

UPVC & Patio Door Handle FAQs

What’s the difference between UPVC, composite and patio door handles?

UPVC and composite door handles are designed for use on typical external residential doors with multipoint locks. Patio door handles are specifically made for sliding or patio doors, often with inline designs or dummy handles for non-locking setups.

How do I measure my door handle for replacement?

You need two critical measurements: (1) PZ centres — from spindle hole to keyhole centre, and (2) fixing centres — the distance between the screw holes. These ensure the new handle fits your existing preparation.

Are UPVC door handles handed?

Most modern UPVC handles are reversible and can be fitted to left- or right-hand doors, but always check the specifications before purchasing.

Can patio door handles be replaced easily

Yes — patio door handles often attach with just a few screws. Accurate measuring of PZ and fixing centres will ensure proper fit and smooth operation.

How do I know what UPVC door handle I need?

Start by measuring your current handle’s PZ centres and fixing centres. Then check whether your door uses a multipoint lock and euro cylinder (most UPVC and composite doors do). Also confirm whether your existing handle is sprung or unsprung. Matching these details will ensure your replacement handle works smoothly and securely.

Can you replace handles on UPVC doors?

Yes, replacing UPVC door handles is usually straightforward. Most are secured with two screws through the backplate. Once removed, you can fit a new handle as long as the measurements match. This makes it easy to upgrade damaged, worn or outdated handles without replacing the entire door.

What’s the difference between UPVC, composite and patio door handles?

UPVC and composite door handles are typically designed for hinged external doors with multipoint locking systems. Patio door handles are often slimmer or differently configured to suit sliding door systems and may include inline or offset locking options.
