The most important measurements you should take are the measurement A (also called PZ) along with the length of the backplate. Make sure to check these measurements to ensure the new uPVC handle will fit.

Lever/Lever

A lever is a solid bar that is pivotally positioned around a point (known as a fulcrum). When you apply force towards the end, the fulcrum will rotate in the direction that the force is applied. This motion increases the applied force which allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you were to apply directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever can move. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage increases as the lever gets extended. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the point at which you apply force by the distance between fulcrum point and the end of the lever.

Levers also have various effects depending on how the forces are applied. A lever of class 2 for instance, has a tendency of rotating in the opposite direction when the effort force is applied. If you push the door handle, the forces will produce rotational effects similar to this.

However, levers don't create energy. They multiply the force by making small amounts of effort applied over a long distance into greater amounts of force applied over shorter distances. This is what allows you to do more work in less time, and that is why levers are commonly employed to lift heavy objects or moving large amounts of cargo. This is also the principle behind the levers that are found in many everyday tools, such as crowbars and fishing rods, hammer claws and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your car.
