Types of UPVC Door Handles It's important to choose the right replacement Upvc handle for your home if your handles made of upvc require replacement.

Lever/Lever A lever is a solid bar that pivots around a central point (known as a Fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the bar, the fulcrum is likely to move in the direction of the force is applied. This motion increases the force and allows you to lift or move objects that would normally require more force to lift. The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point where you apply force determines the maximum movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The greater the length of the lever the greater the advantage in terms of mechanical. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the place where you are applying force by the distance between the fulcrum point and end of the lever. Levers can produce different effects based on the method by which the force is applied. A lever in class 2, for example has a tendency of turning in the opposite direction when the effort force is applied. If you press on the door's handle the force will create the same rotational effects as this. However, levers don't create energy. They just multiply the force you exert by changing a small amount of effort applied over a long distance into a larger amount of force applied over a smaller distance.
