WP Lever/Lever Inline Door Handle: Features, Measurements and Installation Guide

Choosing the correct door handle is essential for maintaining the security, functionality and appearance of your door. The WP Lever/Lever Inline Door Handle has been designed specifically for use with aluminium multipoint locking systems, making it a reliable solution for residential and commercial exterior doors.

Designed for Aluminium Multipoint Locks

The WP Lever/Lever Inline Door Handle features a 48mm PZ centre, making it compatible with most aluminium multipoint locking mechanisms. Supplied as a pair, each handle set includes an 8mm spindle and colour-matched fixing screws to ensure a professional and coordinated finish. The handle is universally handed, allowing it to be fitted to both left- and right-handed doors without the need for additional components.

Available in White, Gold and Silver finishes, this handle combines durability with a clean, contemporary appearance suitable for a wide range of door styles.

Understanding the 48mm PZ Centre Measurement

When replacing an existing door handle, accurately measuring the PZ centre is crucial. The PZ measurement is the distance between:

The centre of the square spindle hole
The centre of the euro cylinder keyhole

For the WP Lever/Lever Inline Door Handle, this measurement is 48mm. Confirming this dimension before purchasing helps ensure compatibility with your existing lock mechanism and avoids installation issues.

What Does "Inline" Mean?

An inline door handle features a lever that sits in a straight line with the backplate, creating a streamlined and symmetrical appearance. Both handles operate using the same spindle, allowing smooth and consistent operation from either side of the door.

To lock the door, simply lift the handle upwards and turn the key fully. To unlock, turn the key back and press the handle down to retract the locking points and open the door.
