About this product
This UPVC Door Handles Set offers a straightforward replacement for your existing door handles, designed to elevate the appearance of your UPVC front or back doors. The polished chrome finish provides a sleek and modern aesthetic that will complement a variety of contemporary interiors, particularly well suited to those looking to update their external access points.
The set is engineered with standard 92mm PZ centres, meaning it should fit seamlessly into most UK UPVC door profiles without requiring any modifications. It’s supplied as a complete kit, including backplates measuring 212mm x 34mm, ensuring a secure and professional installation. The handles themselves are crafted from durable UPVC and feature a classic lever-to-lever design with a screw pitch of 122mm – giving you the necessary space for comfortable operation.
While the polished chrome finish is undeniably stylish, it does have a tendency to show fingerprints more readily than a satin chrome alternative. This is something to consider if you’re particularly sensitive to smudges. The set comes with all the necessary fixing screws and spindle components, simplifying the installation process further.
It's a practical and economical solution for replacing worn or damaged door handles on your UPVC doors, offering a simple upgrade to improve both the look and functionality of your home. This is a mid-range option that provides good value for money, particularly if you’re looking for a straightforward replacement rather than a premium finish.
