Description
TSS 68PZ lever pad uPVC door handles with 215mm screw centres: a fully sprung replacement for Fullex door handles on exterior uPVC doors.
TSS Lever Moveable Pad Door Handles are a sprung lever/pad pair for exterior uPVC doors, compatible with most 68mm PZ multipoint locks. They are uPVC door handles with 215mm screw centres and 68mm PZ centres (the distance from the lever to the keyhole). They suit doors with a Fullex 68PZ multipoint lock, often found on older Anglian doors.
Made from zinc alloy in white, black, silver, polished chrome or gold, with colour-coordinated fixing screws. The polished chrome and silver finishes have been salt-spray tested for over 240 hours, and the trimmable spindle suits doors 55mm to 72mm thick.
Dimensions - Check It Fits:
Key sizes to check:
- PZ centres: 68mm
- Screw centres: 215mm
- Style: Lever / moveable pad
- Operation: Fully sprung
Measure PZ centres from the centre of the lever spindle to the centre of the keyhole. Measure screw centres from the centre of the top fixing screw to the centre of the bottom one.
This will not fit if: your lock has a different PZ (such as 92mm or 70mm), your fixing holes are not 215mm apart, or your door is thinner than 55mm or thicker than 72mm.
- Backplate length: 245mm
- Backplate width: 32mm
- Backplate depth: 12mm
- Top screw to spindle: 108mm
- Base of euro cut-out to bottom screw: 15mm
- Spindle: 8mm, 125mm long (trimmable)
- Door thickness: 55mm to 72mm
- Fixing screws: 2 × 75mm and 2 × 85mm
Backplate length and width matter less than PZ and screw centres. A slightly longer or shorter backplate makes no difference to fit.
What It Fits and Replaces:
- Most 68mm PZ multipoint locks on exterior uPVC doors
- Doors with a Fullex 68PZ multipoint lock, often found on older Anglian doors
- Replaces Fullex 68PZ lever/pad door handles with 215mm screw centres
- Doors 55mm to 72mm thick
- Left-hand or right-hand doors (non-handed)
Key Benefits:
- Fully sprung – two removable uPVC door handle spring cassettes fit over the spindle and return the lever to level, so it does not droop.
- Cycle tested – the handles have been tested to over 50,000 operations, which suits a front door used many times a day.
- Non-handed – the lever and pad are fully reversible, so one set fits a left-hand or right-hand door.
- Fixing lugs on both backplates – these locate the handles on the door and help hold them firmly in place.
- Trimmable spindle – the 125mm spindle can be cut down to suit doors from 55mm to 72mm thick.

Pro Tips:
Pro Tip: Push the spindle through the lock and offer up both handles before cutting it. Trim only enough for both backplates to sit flat on the door, as a spindle cut too short will not engage the outside handle properly.
Tools you'll need: A cross-head screwdriver, plus a junior hacksaw if the spindle needs trimming.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I measure uPVC door handles?
Measure two sizes: the PZ centres and the screw centres. These are uPVC door handles with 215mm screw centres and a 68mm PZ, and both must match your door. Backplate length and width are less critical.
Is this a replacement for a Fullex door handle?
Yes, where your old Fullex handle is a lever/pad set with a 68mm PZ and 215mm screw centres. This is the handle size used with Fullex 68PZ multipoint locks, often found on older Anglian doors. Check for the Fullex name on your lock faceplate and confirm both sizes before ordering.
Will these replacement uPVC door handles fit a 92PZ or 70PZ lock?
No. These handles are made for a 68mm PZ lock only. On a 92mm or 70mm PZ lock the keyhole in the backplate would not line up with the cylinder.
What does sprung mean, and do I need a sprung handle?
Sprung means a spring returns the lever to level after use. To check, remove your old handle and work the lever: if it springs back, your existing set is sprung and must be replaced with a sprung set. An unsprung handle can be replaced with a sprung one.
Are these door handles left or right handed?
They are non-handed. The lever and pad are fully reversible, so the same set fits a left-hand or right-hand door.
