Types of UPVC Door Handles If your upvc door handle requires replacement, it is essential to find the right replacement for your home. Locksmiths can supply and install high-security uPVC door handles with extra security features. The most important measurements you should take are the measurement A (also called PZ) and the length of the backplate. Please check these measurements to make sure that your new uPVC handles will fit. Lever/Lever A lever is a rigid bar that pivots around a central point (known as a fulcrum). When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum will turn in the direction the force is applied. This motion increases the force and lets you lift or move things that normally require more force to lift. The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever can move. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever extends the greater the mechanical benefit. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum until the point at which you're applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and where you will end the lever. Levers also have various effects based on how the forces are applied. For instance the class 2 lever has a tendency to turn in the opposite direction as the force of effort is applied (like a teeter-totter). If you press on the door handle and force it to open, the forces will cause similar rotational effects to this. However, levers don't create energy. They just multiply the force you exert by changing a small amount of effort across a large distance into a larger amount of force applied over a smaller distance. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and transport massive quantities of cargo. The lever principle is also used in everyday tools like crowbars. Hammer claws fishing rods, hammer claws, and your own legs, when you are standing on your car's hand brake.

Lever/Moveable Pad This popular style of handle is typically used for front doors.

This is achieved with a 'pad-shaped' external handle that locks into the gap between the handle and the lock case.
