TSS 92PZ Sprung Lever Door Handle Pair 160mm Screw Centres— uPVC Door Replacement Set
TSS 92PZ Lever/Lever Multipoint Door Handle is a direct replacement handle pair designed for uPVC doors fitted with a 92PZ multipoint lock and 160mm screw centres. If your existing handles have gone floppy, the spring return has failed, or the levers have worked loose over years of daily use, this set restores smooth, positive operation without the cost of a full door replacement. The contemporary lever design is comfortable to grip, fully reversible for left or right-handed doors, and the box contains everything you need to fit the pair in one sitting.
Manufactured in hard-wearing zinc alloy and supplied with colour-coordinated fixings, two spring cassettes and an 8mm spindle, the TSS 92PZ pair is built to handle daily use on busy front, back and side entrance doors. The handles have been cycle tested for over 50,000 operations, with the polished chrome, silver and polished brass finishes additionally salt spray tested for over 240 hours — giving you confidence that the finish will stay looking sharp for years. Before ordering, please confirm your existing handle has a 92mm PZ (centre of spindle to centre of cylinder) and 160mm between the screw hole centres — both measurements must match exactly for the handle to fit.
Key Benefits for uPVC Door Owners:
- Restores Smooth Lever Action – The built-in spring cassettes return the levers cleanly to the horizontal every time, eliminating the floppy, drooping handles that plague worn-out door hardware and making the door feel solid and reliable to use again.
- Cost-Effective Repair – Replacing a tired handle pair is a fraction of the cost of fitting a new door, making this a sensible upgrade for any homeowner who wants their existing uPVC door working properly without spending hundreds on a full replacement.
- Universal Handing for Easy Ordering – The levers are fully reversible by design, so a single set works on left or right-handed doors — no need to worry about handing when you order, and no risk of ending up with the wrong configuration.
- 50,000+ Cycle Tested for Long-Term Durability – Independently cycle tested to over 50,000 operations, this handle pair is built to outlast the cheap budget sets that fail within a year or two, giving you genuine long-term value.
- 240-Hour Salt Spray Tested Finishes – The polished chrome, silver and polished brass finishes have passed 240-hour salt spray testing, so they resist tarnishing and corrosion even on exposed or coastal doors.
- Complete Fitting Pack Included – The 8mm spindle, two spring cassettes and matching colour-coordinated screws are all in the box, so there's no second trip to the merchant halfway through the job.
- Fits a Wide Range of uPVC Doors – Designed for door thicknesses from 60mm to 72mm, this pair suits the majority of standard uPVC door slabs fitted across UK homes.
- 160mm Screw Centres for Common Multipoint Locks – Matches the 160mm screw spacing used by many UK multipoint lock cases, making it a straightforward swap when your existing fixing holes line up.
- Locating Lugs on Both Backplates – Lugs on the rear of both backplates position the handles squarely on the door and help prevent rocking or movement once the screws are tightened.

Please measure your existing handles carefully before ordering. The two critical dimensions are the distance between the screw hole centres (160mm on this set) and the distance from the centre of the spindle to the centre of the cylinder barrel (92mm — known as the PZ measurement). If you are unsure which size you need, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.
Pro Tips:
Pro Tip: Before fully tightening the new handle screws, fit both backplates loosely, push the spindle through, and operate the levers a few times to make sure the mechanism returns cleanly and the locking action engages smoothly. If the levers feel stiff or the multipoint lock is hard to throw, slacken the screws slightly and reposition — over-tightened handles are the most common cause of stiff operation on a freshly fitted pair.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Will this handle fit my uPVC door?
This set fits uPVC doors that have a 92mm PZ measurement (centre of spindle to centre of cylinder) and 160mm screw centres (distance between the two fixing hole centres). It also suits door thicknesses from 60mm to 72mm. Measure your existing handle's screw hole spacing and the spindle-to-cylinder distance before ordering — both must match.
Is the PZ measurement the same as the screw centres?
No — these are two separate measurements and they're often confused. The PZ measurement (92mm on this handle) is the distance from the centre of the spindle to the centre of the euro cylinder barrel. The screw centres (160mm on this handle) is the distance between the two screw hole centres on the backplate. You need to check both to confirm the handle will fit.
Do I need to know if my door is left or right-handed?
No. This handle pair is fully reversible and works on both left and right-handed doors, inside and out. You can fit it either way around without ordering a specific handed version.
What tools do I need to fit these handles?
A Phillips/cross-head screwdriver is all most homeowners will need. The job is straightforward: remove the two screws from the inside backplate, withdraw the old handles and spindle, then fit the new pair with the supplied spindle and screws. Most people complete the swap in 15–20 minutes.
