What is a multipoint locking door handle?

A multipoint locking door handle operates a multi-point lock case, engaging multiple locking points along the door edge for improved security and door compression compared to single-point systems.

Are polished chrome multipoint handles suitable for uPVC and composite doors?

Yes. Polished chrome multipoint handles are commonly fitted to uPVC and composite external doors in the UK and are also used on many timber doors where a multi-point lock case is installed.

How do I measure for a replacement multipoint door handle?

Check the PZ/centres measurement (spindle to cylinder centre), the screw fixing centres (top to bottom), and the overall backplate size to ensure a like-for-like fit.

What does 92mm PZ mean on multipoint door handles?

92mm PZ refers to the distance between the handle spindle centre and the Euro cylinder centre. It is one of the most common UK sizes for multipoint door handles.

Do I need a Euro cylinder with these handles?

Multipoint handles typically use a Euro profile cylinder, which is purchased separately so you can choose the security level and size required for your door.

Are these multipoint handles sprung or unsprung?

Many multipoint handles are unsprung and rely on the lock case springing. If your handle droops, the internal lock springing may be worn and could need attention.

What are multipoint locking door handles?

Multipoint door handles operate multi-point locking mechanisms (often found on front and back doors), engaging locking points along the door edge. This helps deliver better door compression, improved weather sealing, and stronger resistance than basic single-point handles.

Key benefits of polished chrome multipoint handles

Modern finish: polished chrome suits contemporary doors and refurb projects.
Everyday security: built to work with multi-point lock cases for consistent lock-up.
Replacement-friendly: ideal for upgrading worn or pitted handles while keeping the lock case.
Wide compatibility: commonly used on uPVC and composite doors, and increasingly on timber.

Things to check before you buy

PZ / centres (often 92mm): measure spindle-to-cylinder centres to match your existing handles.
Screw fixing centres: measure top-to-bottom screw spacing for a straight swap.
Backplate size: confirm overall height/width if you’re covering old marks or holes.
Handing: many styles are reversible for left or right hung doors.

Unsprung levers & multipoint lock compatibility

Most multipoint lock handles are unsprung, meaning the springing is handled by the lock case inside the door. If your lock case springing is weak, replacing the lock case (or selecting the correct handle type) can prevent droop over time.

Pair with a Euro profile cylinder

These handles are designed to work with Euro profile cylinders (sold separately), allowing you to choose the correct security level for the property—ideal for replacements, upgrades, and keyed-alike setups.

Polished chrome finish: care & longevity

For best results, clean with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry fully. Avoid harsh cleaners to keep the chrome mirror finish looking sharp, especially on exposed external doors.
