Key Features:

• Integrated Lock: The handle assembly includes a cylinder lock that is operated with a key, usually on the exterior side.
• Interior Operation: The inside of the handle typically has a thumb turn, lever, or snib to lock and unlock the door from the interior.
• Security: The key cylinder provides a level of security against unauthorized entry. The level of security depends on the quality and type of cylinder used (e.g., standard pin tumbler, anti-snap, anti-drill).
• Convenience: Combining the handle and lock simplifies installation and use.
• Material and Finish: Designed specifically for UPVC doors, these handles are often made from materials like zinc alloy or aluminum with a UPVC or powder-coated finish to match the door’s color (commonly white, black, brown, or grey).
• Variety of Styles: They come in various designs, including lever/lever (handles on both sides), lever/pad (lever inside, fixed pad outside), and handles with a snib (a small button or lever to hold the latch back).
