Default odd UPVC lock handles

Mate needs a new upvc patio door handle set- old one snapped off.

Had a quick shufty and sure I measured the fixing screws right at
115mm centres on a Type A backplate (both fixing screws below handle).

Trawled around and can't find any with 115mm fixing centres...lots at
122mm tho....

His house is recent (10yrs) new build so bit perplexed??

Anyone any clues please?

Cheers
Jim K

A picture helps, as it is not clear what dimension you mean.
Anyway, I've used these a number of times:

no pic yet - 2 screws join inner to outer handle through door & lock -
they are spaced at 115mm centres...

like this Type A but 115mm between screw/fixings not 122mm:-

PS looks like the muppet responsible for BnQ web****e searches has
been set loose on screwfix - try searching for "UPVC door handles" FFS

Anyway, I've used these a number of times:

Thanks

I'm now in the same boat - handle snapped off and mine are 115mm centres, both screws below the handle. Can the handles be replaced with standard handles with 122mm centres?
