The most important measurements are measurement A (known as PZ) and the length of the backplate (measurement F). Take these measurements to make sure that your new uPVC handle will fit.

Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around an object. When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum will tend to rotate in the direction that the force is applied. This rotates the fulcrum, increasing the force applied and allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you tried to apply it directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever can move. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever extends more, the greater the mechanical benefit. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing distance from the fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by the distance between fulcrum point and the end of the lever.

Levers can also have different effects depending on how the forces are applied. A lever of class 2, for example is prone to rotating in the opposite direction when an force applied to it. If you press on the handle of a door and force it to open, the forces will cause similar rotational effects to this.

However, levers don't create energy. Levers increase the force by making small amounts of effort applied over a lengthy distance into larger amounts of force applied over shorter distances. This is what enables you to complete more work in a shorter period of time, and that is why levers are commonly used for lifting heavy objects or moving large quantities of cargo.
