Here’s a breakdown of common types of projection handles you might find on UPVC:

For UPVC Doors:

• Lever Handles: These are the most common type of projection handle on UPVC residential doors. They project outwards and are pushed down to operate the multi-point locking mechanism and open the door. They come in various styles (straight, curved, cranked) and finishes (chrome, brushed nickel, black, white, etc.).
• Pull Handles: Often used on UPVC French doors, patio doors, or commercial doors, pull handles are fixed and project outwards, allowing you to grip and pull the door open. They can be bar-shaped, D-shaped, or more ornate.
• Espag Handles (for some older or specific UPVC door types): These handles often have a longer projection and are used to operate an espagnolette locking system with visible rods. They are less common on modern multi-point locking UPVC doors.
