Thank you so much. This is the exact lock we have and could NOT figure out how to get the bl00dy thing off

I was going crazy trying to work out how to remove the spindle - thank you for having the exact video I needed.

Thank you for showing how to remove the spindle - brilliant!

Holy crap you saved me! I was wondering what was wrong with my latch compared to all the other tutorials!

Oh my god. Thank you so much!!!! This absolutely drove me nuts when I tried to remove the spindle. That darn o ring!!!!!Happy to say that as soon as I saw your video, I was able to replace the door handle that’s been out of action for months. Cheers

The issue is the spindles has gone in and the door is shut. Door won’t open now and has no handle, just the spindles stuck in it

The same has happened to mine. It closed so I can’t get to the other side to loosen the second screw. How did you manage to fix it?

Another Aussie posting an unbelievable video that I didn't think would exist. Great stuff! You gotta laugh at how many people would have been really pissed getting that bit off. I did a quick search and bang. Onya mate

Had the same problem guys..frustrating🫤🤣 Thanks for the great video mate 👍

Legend! Thanks so much, I just cut it off took 2 seconds. Mine was a Gainsborough brand handle if anyones trying to figure it out like me.

Thanks Bill, It was driving me crazy

Brilliant mate thanks. You almost need to be a surgeon for this one. Cheers.

Thanks mate, I was going crazy trying to get that spindle out, you saved me from tearing the door down in frustration 😅

You're doing an awesome job dude.

Bill you’re a legend - thanks!

I’m stuck at removing the cover 😫It’s not as easy as just turning left. Haven’t gotten to the ring part yet. It’s exactly the same brand I have here. Thanks for the vid

Thanks for helping me fix my door, cheers Bill

Wonderful, you saved our sanity! Thank you 🙂

Great tips - I was stuck with it your advice on o ring did the trick - thanks

Brilliant Bill! I couldn’t quite work out how to get that plate off. Now it is a piece of cake to tighten the screws again. Thanks for all your great videos. You’re a legend! Cheers Kev

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately, the spindle still wouldn't come loose after removing the washer. I had to use some locking pliers to yank it out. Hopefully this helps someone else.

After this video helped me realise there were covers in the way, I then found out that the allen key screw that was holding the cover on was stripped and preventing me from getting one cover off, but I did manage to fix several loose handles now though. Thanks heaps.

Thanks, just what I needed to know

Thanks brother, something as simple and small as that lead me to your video 😂

Really helpful! Really stupid O RING! Thank you!!!!

Ive just come across your channel. You explain things very well so I have great confidence that youll be able to help me with this problem. Ive been in the construction game for a while now. Im not at all a lock smith, but Ive had to wrestle with a few locks in my time. Ive recently come across an entrance lock that does not move. The door was closed and we couldnt open it. Ive taken the whole thing apart, both sides, up to exposing the latch. It has a type of metal sheet surrounding it. So, basically, you can see the latch going through and this vertical sheet is totally surrounding it and takes up the whole...um...hole, so the latch cant be wriggled free. Im hoping theres a way of taking it out without damaging the door. Have you come across this type of locking mechanism often?

If you send me a photo I may be able to help. If you just need to open the door and latch is faulty I have a video on using door shims to open the door. Hope this helps👍

Thanks bro

Coooooool thank you

Thanks heap’s

Thanks - worked a treat. I understand its purpose is to keep the spindle central, but Wouldn’t it be fine without the o-ring there? I can’t imagine the spindle slipping out of one of the handles.

Nice!

Thankyou, i was about to rip the door off it hinges but you saved me. What is with the rubber washer, dumb. Love hearing a aussie voice on a KZread help channel .

Awesome! I had the door handles loose and rattling which this video helped me a lot. But why would I need to remove the spindle - to solve what problem? I just left it there and tightened the screws and the rattling is gone!

Great video! I was about to break out a saw

Thanks for your video. Could you pls share the video where the spindle has a hole on one end. And use of allen key to remove

Hi Bill, thanks for the videos! Ive got the same gainsborough locks in our internal doors. The kids have been playing around with the locks and the push button screw has fallen out. Screwing it back in doesnt seem to lock the door - any ideas??

Oh my god thank you.

@@billshowto Thankyou so much again bill God bless

Thanks for this, finally managed to get mine off. The innards of mine were much simpler than this (no o-ring, thank god) but the outside cover was really tight and felt like it'd been glued in place. It also opened only from the outside when most articles talk about taking it off from the inside first, go figure.

The other models just has a tiny button at the top of the spindle that you push down and slide through and the spindle comes out

Cheers that did my head in until I saw this.

Awesome video but my issue is that im locked out so i can only access the outside of the door handle. Not sure how to get it open from here but if anyone has any tips please feel free to share.
