Upvc fixing screws form an important part of Upvc window or Upvc door hardware.
The screws securely fix the hardware furniture to the window and door and allow it to operate in the correct manner to achieve a long lasting repair. Sometimes the Upvc window or door hardware fixing screws become loose and you require a larger gauge screw, which you should find with one of our repair screws. This screw is commonly known as a Upvc repair screw as it has 4.8mm diameter gauge (The standard Upvc hardware fixing screws used are normally between 3.9 - 4.3mm) therefore the extra thickness allows the screw to bite into fresh material to secure the window or door furniture again.The first Step in identifying and measuring a uPVC door handle is to check if the top screw is above or below the handle, see below: Top Screw Below uPVC Door Handles If the top screw is below the handle then you’re in luck! Top screw below handles all have roughly the same dimensions, all you need to decide is which design you prefer. We have design one here and design two here.
Top Screw Above uPVC Door Handles uPVC door handles with the top fixing screw above the handle come in various sizes. To identify your handle we need to know measurements A, B & C, shown above. Measurement A is known as the PZ. This is taken from the centre of the handle to the centre of the keyhole. Most common PZ is 92mm. We then need measurement B which is from screw to screw. Overall length is less important but you may need this to ensure you cover the area where your old handles once where. Lever Lever or Lever Pad uPVC Door Handles? Pictured below we have a lever pad uPVC door handle arrangement. The pad is the shorter handle which you will find on the outside of your door. Quite often you find that the pad side is lower than lever, meaning the PZ is shorter. Lever Pad arrangements are not always but quite often used as a security feature to prevent somebody from accessing your property unless they have a key!

The guide on the left can help you understand how to measure door handles. The most important measurement is the PZ measurement (labelled 'A' on the diagram). This is crucial andThe fixing screw centres (labelled 'D' on the diagram)These need to line up with your existing fixingTheoretically you can use other holes but it is important to try to match these as not all lock cases offer the same design footprint in terms of where screws can pass through. the measurements should be fairly self-explanatory!

Here are a few quick suggestions on how to go about doing this type of repair yourself. Drill out the stripped hole and glue in a dowel the same diameter as the drill bit. If door sag has been a problem, drill through the jamb, any shims behind the jamb, and into the door framing studs. This gives you a dowelled connection all the way back to the wall framing that will be suitable for a long wooden screw.
Glue, then cut the dowel off flush with the edge of the door or hinge mortise and pilot drill for the screw after the glue sets. Relocate the hinge just a little up or down. This may require re-chiseling the pocket in the frame and on the door; then filling with plastic wood and touching up the paint. This is probably the most labor intensive fix. Suggest you try this when all else fails. Wedge a shim into the hole (a toothpick or wooden matchstick, for example) but it probably won't hold for long. You may be tempted to try this, but for a hinge, you really need holding power. For example, a longer screw (2-1/2" ( 6.35 cm) to replace a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm)) or a thicker screw (#8 in place of #6). Make sure that the screw head won't stick out and interfere with operation of the door by causing binding or scarring the frame. Coat a shim or plug with wood glue and wedge it into the hole. After the glue dries, re-mount the hinge. Re-drilling a pilot hole into the shim might be helpful in keeping the screw in line with the hinge plate.
Use a sheet-rock anchor. However, like the shim-only method (no glue), this might not last for very long. Take a small piece of pine, (1/4" (1/2 cm ) cm) x 1/4") and, using a sharp knife, whittle it to a point. Put a dab of wood glue on the point and tap it into place lightly, with a hammer. Once you have the whittled pine sitting snugly in the hole, use a sharp chisel to slice the pine flush with the hole. Make sure that the glue has dried, then place the hinge back where it belongs and mark the hole with a pencil. Use a small finish nail or drill with a small drill bit (smaller than the diameter of the screw) to create a pilot hole for the hinge screw.Probably the most permanent way is to use decking screws about 5 inches (12.5 cm) long, especially if it is an exterior door. Check to be sure the the heads are the same size as this will keep them from protruding and keeping the door from closing fully. Using the existing holes, run the extra long screws through the jamb and into the 2 x 4" (5 x 10 cm) framing stud inside the wall.
This will permanently anchor the door into place and will last for many years. The reason for the extra long screws is that they have to pass through the jamb and through a couple of inches of empty space before hitting the framing stud in the wall. This is so effective that it is generally only necessary to use a couple of the decking screws per hinge. Stuff steel wool into the hole with screwdriver. Fill the hole almost completely. Screw the screw into the hole. Drive a golf tee into the old hole and use a chisel or cut it flush. Use wood glue for a more permanent fix. Mix one or two sheets of toilet paper with Elmer's Glue, e.g. using a small cup and a screwdriver. The paper disintegrates easily, and the mixture can resemble modeling clay with the right amount of glue. Stuff the mixture into the hole, e.g. with a nail head, before it sets and make a pilot hole with the nail. Before the unused mixture has hardened completely, drive the screw partially into the pilot hole, then remove the screw and allow the material to harden further for an hour or two.
The dried material is firmly bonded and holds screws as well as the original wood. This procedure also works well for filling holes in wallboard. Just use a 2 inch long, self-drilling screw with a power drill. Drill the screw at an angle, I.E. slightly up or slightly down. I have been fixing doors this way for twenty-five years and have never broken a jam or had the door come off again. Do not put the screw in at an angle more than 20 degrees or the head of the screw will stick out and prevent the hinge from closing (but you can file the screw down so it will not hit with an attachment that goes on the drill). I usually put the screws in at about a 10 or 15 degree angle so they will not prevent the hinge from closing. Many times you can use longer a 3 inch, self drilling screw right in the old hole without having to go in at an angle. I have used 2, 3, 4, 5 and even 6 inch screws in old jams. Since I learned this, I have never replaced a jam. I buy the screws in one pound boxes but I use so many 2 inch, self drilling screws to fix doors that I buy them in five pound boxes.
Be sure and replace all three screws where the problem is so that it will really hold well (permanently). With the self drilling screws and an electric drill, you can fix the door really fast (in minutes). This method is good for a first time repair. Coat the inside of the hole with lite oil, but don't overdo it. Let it soak into the wood for a few hours. When drilling a pilot (starter) hole for a wood screw in a hinge, use a self-centering drill bit (one brand name is Vix Bit). They ensure a perfectly centered hole. If the hole isn't centered the screw will go in crooked and leave the screw head a little protruded. This could prevent the door from shutting properly. There is a file attachment that goes on the power drill. You can use this attachment to file down the head of the screw if it prevents the hinge from closing. This can be done with the screw in the door. Use a dial caliper that probes to gauge the depth of the hole for pre-cutting a dowel filler.
