Thank you!!!! Finally - simple, straightforward and with an ‘old’ style handle! Thought I’d spend the rest of my life searching 🤣 thank you!

Just done this to 3 door handles. Thank you so much. Saved me a few quid on new door handles. Also noticed one of the latches was very stiff so took it out and dropped in some graphite powder. Handles are working like a dream now. Thanks again.

Clear and helpful - managed to fix my door. Thank you!

Top man. Just fixed a pair of handles, with relative ease, thanks to you.

Hi handyman savage and everyon. The metal thing that goes into the door frame which I don't know the name of hardly moves when I turn the handles, I hope that makes sense can you give me any tips or advice to sort out issue please. Great video thankyou.

Do you measure the springs by how many turns they have ? I presume the sizes are not universal. Nice video.

Why did you skip the removal of the door handle part. I struggle with that

@joerichard.i1579

That's very simple. To remove the handle part, you have to loosen the screw with the help of the screw driver. In the same way, loosen all the screws. Finally it can be removed simply with hands. It's that simple.

Really nice tutorial! Is there any other way to open the door handle for those who dont have the circlip removal tool? Im struggling here haha

Thanks for the feedback. The circlip removal tool is the only worthy tool for the job and you will end up using it on other doors as I found. Trying with thin pliers is a bad idea, as it damages the existing clips if it slips and you also end up cutting your hand. If you use a proper Circlip removal tool, then the clips can often he re-used, as the spring is usually the faulty part.

My handle has no circlip - only a steel washer with notches to limit the handle movement. This seems to have been put on and held solid by friction. Trying to lever up this steel washer bends it. How do i get this off?

Hello, do you have a video how to detach the door handle from the door please? It just doesn't want to come off....

Hello. The door handle should just pop off once you've undone the 4x screws. If it's a bit stubborn (which can be the case if the handle is stuck to paint), then just pull it horizontally with a bit of force.

This is the first video that comes up when I search for “round door knob handle keeps popping off; will not stay on” the spring that holds the “round handle” will not hold it on. Do you have an answer for my question since your video keeps coming up? It’s a simple question.

Usually the springs only break after the handles are well worn - Better to replace the full pair of handles as the cost of finding the correct springs against the cost of a new pair of handles in minimal

Happened to 2 door handles in my house, within one day of each other. One spring goes before the other so you end up with a working handle that's a lot easier to push - then about 4 months later the next spring goes, causing the handle to flop down. I looked up the date I bought them (they are "bolt through" ones going on cheap doors with hardboard outer panels) and they were bought in July 2020 so it's now March 2024, they didn't even last 4 years. If I open the door 20 times a day for 4 years that's about 30,000 times. Why don't they just make the springs more durable! They could just make it thicker vertically, which would make it harder to turn the door handle, but I don't care about that. They make everything cheap as they can these days and it's annoying. Meanwhile my downstairs door handles have been turned just as many times and they must be at least 30 years old by now, so they have had about 146,000 turns, with no issues.

Yeah totally agree, the days of robust goods is over in certain sectors, the manufacturers cut costs and use cheaper less durable materials, then as a side hustle setup a separate parts business to keep taking on the back end

I took the handles off to paint the door and now both handles have no springyness. Wtf?

Sliding doors are superior. No mechanical parts, impossible to breakdown.

Thank you for this video very informative and helpful. I did want to ask what is the measurement of the spring?as your handle is the exact same one I have. I’ve seen some online 1.8mm and 2.5mm
