Understanding uPVC Handle Types: A, B, and C

Not all uPVC door handles are the same, and understanding the type you have can help ensure a proper repair or replacement. One of the easiest ways to tell is to check the location of the two screws, as they are in different places depending on the uPVC door handle type. The spindle is usually the same and goes between the handles. Here’s a quick guide to the three most common types of uPVC handles:

Type A Handles

Description: These are straightforward inline handles where the lever is positioned directly in line with the backplate. Both levers operate the same way on either side of the door.

Common Use: Typically found on doors where both sides require the same functionality, such as patio doors.

How to Identify: The levers on both sides are symmetrical and align perfectly with the backplate. The two screws are just below the handle and the lock.

Type B Handles

Description: These are offset handles, with one lever slightly lower or higher than the other. This design allows for different internal and external operations.

Common Use: Often used on doors with a multi-point locking mechanism where internal and external handles serve distinct purposes.

How to Identify: Look for the offset between the levers and measure the positioning against the backplate. The screw holes are at the very top and bottom of the back plate.

Type C Handles

Description: These are lever/pad handles, which feature a lever on the inside and a pad on the outside. This design enhances security by limiting external operation unless the correct key is used.

Common Use: Common on front doors or doors requiring additional security.

How to Identify: The inside features a traditional lever, while the external pad handle does not have lever functionality.

How to Determine Your uPVC Handle Type

1. Measure the Backplate

Check the dimensions of your handle’s backplate. Most uPVC handles have standardised sizes, which can help identify the type.

2. Examine the Lever Position

Observe whether the handles are inline, offset, or feature a pad handle externally.

3. Consider the Locking Mechanism

If your door has specific locking requirements, such as key-only operation from outside, it’s likely to be a Type C handle.

If you’re unsure, don’t worry! Our experienced locksmiths can quickly assess your handle type and recommend the right solution for repair or replacement.
