WINDOW HANDLE IDENTIFICATION GUIDE

Our guide below will help you choose exactly the correct window handle for your window:

DOOR HANDLE MEASURING & IDENTIFYING GUIDE

The following guide can be used to help identify or correctly measure your UPVC/Composite Door Handle.

To ensure you buy the correct size door handle, it is vital that you know the correct measurements. There are two critical dimensions when measuring your door handle – the PZ Dimension and the Screw to Screw Dimension.

a. THE PZ DIMENSION
Measured from the centre of the spindle (follower) hole to the centre of the euro cyclinder hole.

b. SCREW TO SCREW (FIXING CENTRES)
Measured from the centre of the top fixing screw hole to the centre of the bottom fixing screw.

c. TOP SCREW TO SPINDLE
Measured from the centre of the top screw hole to the centre of the spindle (follower) hole.

d. OVERALL BACK PLATE
The length of the back plate.

UPVC DOOR LOCK MEASURING GUIDE

When trying to identify any multi-point lock, there are 2 main critical dimensions required (always measured in millimeters)

What are the 2 critical dimensions?

  1. THE PZ DIMENSION

    Measured from the centre of the spindle (follower) hole to the centre of the euro cylinder hole.

  2. THE ‘BACK SET’ DIMENSION

    Measured from the front of the lock face plate to the centre of the spindle (follower) hole.

EURO CYLINDER MEASURING & IDENTIFYING GUIDE

The following guide can be used to help identify or correctly measure your Euro Cylinder.

In order to correctly measure a Euro Cylinder there a two sizes that you require, the internal size and the external size.

a. THE INTERNAL SIZE
Measured from the internal side to your door facing inwards to your home, to the centre of the black rotating clip (cam).

b. THE EXTERNAL SIZE
Measured from the external side of your door facing outwards to your property, to the centre of the black rotating clip (cam).

FRICTION HINGE MEASURING GUIDE

Our 3 step guide below will help you choose exactly the correct hinge for your window…

  1. HANG TYPE

    Is your window Top Hung or Side Hung?

  2. HINGE LENGTH

    Measured to the closest inch e.g. 12″

  3. STACK HEIGHT

    13mm or 17mm (Not able to measure your stack height? Read below…)

NOT ABLE TO MEASURE YOUR STACK HEIGHT?

If you are unable to measure the stack height of the hinge then you can purchase some stack packer caps. The caps simply clip on the hinge and convert the hinge from a 13mm stack to a 17mm stack. We recommend fitting 3 packers per hinge (so a pair of hinges would require 6 packer caps).

HARDWARE HANDING

The following guide can be used to help identify which hand product you require:

WORRIED ABOUT SECURITY? HERE’S HOW YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE

 

WORRIED ABOUT SECURITY? HERE’S HOW YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE:

One of the biggest fears for homeowners this year is security and having their home broken into. But this isn’t surprising considering that 76% of all burglaries were through a poorly secured door. As well as 31% that were entered by forcing a lock. So what can we do to protect ourselves against burglaries? 
 The British Standard 3 Star Maximum Cylinder Security from ERA is the lock we recommend here at Select Windows. The lock has been independently tested to meet the latest industry security standards. This offers maximum protection and peace of mind.
 The high performance lock contains six hardened high security pins which means it is the ultimate defence against snapping, bumping and picking. These sections of the lock prevent intruders from accessing the inner workings of the lock as well as protecting from intruders drilling through the keyhole.
At Select Windows we believe you should always feel safe in your own home. That’s why we pride ourselves on our attention to security on all of our products.
We offer a range of extra security features such as locking systems, reinforced hinges and child safety mechanisms. We ensure that you can relax in the knowledge that you are safe.
Our products are accredited by Secured by Design, a police backed initiative awarded to products with security features as their main priority.

ANTI – SNAP

Two sacrificial sections means if the Fortress cylinder is snapped, the two front sections will break off, preventing the intruder from getting access to the inner workings of  the lock giving superb Anti-Snap protection.

ANTI – PICK & ANTI – BUMP

With six trap pins and over 98,000 differs, Bumping the pins or Picking the lock becomes time consuming and therefore redundant. Giving you a cylinder with the very best Anti – Bump and Anti-Pick protection.

ANTI – DRILL

The use of hardened pins protect from an intruder drilling through the keyhole to access the lock. Multiple pins prevent a drill bit penetrating the lock, for maximum Anti-Drill protection.
