Types of UPVC Door Handles It's important to choose the appropriate replacement Upvc handle for your home when your handles are in need of replacement. A locksmith can offer and install high-security uPVC door handles that come with additional security features. The most important measurements to take are the measurement A (also called PZ) along with the length of the backplate. Make sure to check these measurements to ensure that your new uPVC handles will fit. Lever/Lever A lever is a rod that pivots around a point. When you apply a force at the end of the lever, it is likely to cause it to turn the fulcrum in the direction of the force. This rotation multiplies your force and allows you to lift or move objects that normally require more force to lift. The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the maximum amount of movement. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever extends, the larger the mechanical benefit. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing distance from the fulcrum point to the point at which you are applying force by the distance between the fulcrum point and end of the lever. Levers can also have a variety of effects depending on how the forces are applied. For instance a lever of class 2 is inclined to turn in the opposite direction to when the force applied to it (like a T-totter). The forces produced when you push on the handle of a front door will produce rotational effects that are similar to these. However, levers don't create energy. They simply increase the force you exert by converting a small amount of effort across a large distance into a larger amount of force applied over a smaller distance. This is what allows you to accomplish more in a shorter period of time, which is why levers are often employed to lift heavy objects or moving large quantities of cargo. This is also the basis behind the levers that are found in many everyday tools like crowbars, fishing rods claws for hammers and even your own legs when you stand on the hand brakes of your car. Lever/Pad Lever pad handles, also referred to as upvc door handle s, feature levers on both sides to operate the multipoint locks.

They are not as safe as a cylinder lock however they are cost-effective ways to increase the security of your home.

This handle is designed to work with uPVC multipoint locks which use a split spindle mechanism.
