Great advice and help, but surely if you keep getting a larger one each time you’ll eventually end up with a handle the size of the door 😅

The problem is the door handles in my house are huge so I will probably have no choice but to use smaller ones however he said it’s to avoid paint marks. If you plan on painting the door afterwards I guess it wouldn’t really matter

Thank you for the video. I just changed a door handle I’ve been putting off doing for ages. Also used your Phillips head screw trick to make the pilot hole for the flat head screw provided - worked a treat. Subscribed. 🙂

Nice one aaanton11 I had exactly the same issue with mechanism not opening enough. I found out that the reason was the space in between the funny shaped washer inside the handle did not have enough gap between its two raised points to let the handle go down enough. I ended up buying a new internal rather than just simply chop out a little of the frame. D'oh!! I'll know next time.

aaanton11 mines a hollow door from B&Q,,I just wasn’t sure if my door is strong enough to put the handle above the centre panel of the door is,,mine will be like yours just above the centre bit of the door

I just bought 50 quids worth of handles. Then I needed new latches. Then they wasn’t in line with the hole so I bought a router. So took them off hinges and they fire doors weigh a tonne. Now I’ve realised there’s no screws with the handles What a frigging nightmare. I’m gonna stop coming up with silly ideas.

I'm having problems with one of my handles, it hasn't gone floppy but when I pull it down to open the door the latch doesn't retract properly. It goes in if I push it in but not with the handle. I was afraid someone would get stuck and not be able to open the door, so for the moment I've swapped the internal bits with another one off a door we don't shut. Is the internal barrel bit sold separately and what is it called please, so that I can go and buy a new part.
