Door Handle replacement handles for windows

Door handles appear to be a small detail but if you aren't happy with the way they look or are finding them difficult to use, it's worth replacing them. Installing the new handle on your door is simple if you've got patience.

Modern door handles are typically equipped with cover plates that hide the screws for a more attractive appearance. However, you'll have to attach them separately if your new handle does not have them attached already.

Remove the old handle

The door handle is not just a decorative feature for your home It's also an element of security that allows you to lock and unlock your door. However, as time passes your door handle can lose its grip, appear loose, or appear old and worn out. This is a sign that it's probably time to replace it.

One of the first signs that your door handle requires replacing is the fact that it is becoming difficult to operate. This is a problem because it means you can no longer sash lock door handles or unlock your door which could pose a security risk for you and your family.

It's also a good idea to replace your door handle in the event that it's damaged or broken. A damaged or broken door handle is dangerous, especially for children and elderly family members who struggle to open it. They could be trapped. Fortunately, it's fairly easy to fix a broken door handle by simply replacing the old aluminium window handles one.

Modern door handles are usually standard sizes and will fit any door. If you're not certain if your new door handle will work, remove the old one and take measurements of its holes in the housing. This will help you purchase the right size door handle.

It is easiest to take off the old door handle by unscrewing it from the door. Usually you'll need a screwdriver. However some door handles have a cover plate that conceals the mounting screws, so you'll have to cut off this to reach the screws beneath. Once you have removed the old handle, make an outline of how the spindle is attached so that you can make sure it is aligned when you put in the new one.

Alternatively, you can remove your door handle by unscrewing it from the latch mechanism. You can use a screwdriver for removing the door handle. But, you'll have to locate the tiny latch which is located on the edge cut piece. Once you've removed the latch, remove the handle from the strike plate, and then remove the latch away from the door's edge.

Removing the Strike Plate

You'll need to replace your latch plate when you replace the handle. This is the plate that holds the hole where the latch of the door hooks when the door is closed. The package the new handles arrive in will include two options for latch plates: a rectangular one and circular (see the diagram above for the components of a door handle). If you have an rectangular latch plate, replace it with a round one. This will allow the latch to be able to hook into the strike plate and make the handle easier to use.

The first step is to unhook the screw holding the latch plate. The screws are usually quite tight and require a lot of force to loosen them. If you can, it might be beneficial to have a second person assist you with this task.

The latch plate should come out of the door once the screws have been removed. If it is stuck or doesn't move using a nail file to scrape around the edges of the latch plate. This can sometimes open the plate up.

You can now move on to preparing the new door strike plate to be installed. Screw the latch plate into the door jamb using the screws that were included with your new handles. Do not tighten the screws too much as this can damage the strike plate.

If you are not sure whether the latch plate is in its correct position, shut and then open the door to check whether it locks and closes properly. If not you'll need to adjust the strike plate either up or down, or forward or back until the door shuts and latches correctly.

If the door is still jiggling or moving, you may need to increase the size of the hole for latching in the strike plate. This is more common with older doors, but could be due to wear and tear, hinge mortises that are too shallow or not the right size for the latch, or because of a broken or damaged strike plate that is damaged or broken. If this is the situation, follow the same procedure for adjusting the strike plate, but using the use of a metal file instead an hammer and chisel.

Removing the Latch

The latch is the angled piece of metal that slides in and out of the hole in the inner edge of your aluminium door handle. The latch is moved forward when you turn the handle. It also catches the door's frame so that the door stays closed. If your door is wobbling when you close, an upgrade to the latch could be all that is needed to fix the issue.

The screws that secure the door latch are difficult to see, but you can usually use a screwdriver to make an insignificant hole on the trim plate and then pry the latch off. After removing the trim plate, you should be able to remove the latch and the bolts that hold it and the spindle.

If the latch isn't easily removed using a paperclip or tool to take it off the handle mechanism. Insert the item in the recessed latch slot and gently twist it or jiggle until the handle and latch begin to separate. You may have to do this several times before the latch becomes loose enough to let it out.

Once the old latch is removed, you should be able to slide the new latch into the slot without issues. Make use of the new screws to connect the latch to the strike plate or door frame. Make sure it's properly positioned in the slot, aligned with the screw chambers.

Measure the existing backset (the distance between the centre of the large hole on the front of the door and the edge) before installing the new handle. Verify that the size of the latch of the new handle is in line with the measurement.

You'll require a new lock cylinder if you're replacing the latch and handle, or your old one is damaged. If you're not changing locks, the new latch should fit in your existing recess, and work just fine with your current keys. Be sure to select the latch with a rectangular cover plate that match the handles you have.

Removal of the Cover Plate

You can replace your door handles with a modern design of roses and levers to enhance the appearance of your house. You can purchase complete sets that include privacy adaptors, escutcheons, and escutcheons.

To replace the aluminium door handle handle inside take off the cover plate (or rose) that covers the screws and mechanism. Utilize a flathead to take off the plate. It could have an opening along one side or be held in place by pins.

When the cover plate is off, remove the screw that holds the interior handle in place and put it aside. It is also necessary to take out the screws that hold the latch and inner plates, which you can do by loosening them with a Philips screwdriver. Then, take the inner plates and latch plate from the door and set them aside.

Most doors have gaps between the jamb of the door and the inside edge of the frame, which allows for a handle, but not all have. If yours does not allow for a handle, you'll have to make a hole in the door. This is the same process for opening a locked door however you'll need to be extra careful not to scratch the frame or door.

After drilling the holes, you'll need to install new door knob screws. Purchase the same size as the old screws to ensure that you don't get a handle that is too loose or tight. Installing a new strike rod and latch is also necessary. These are not included in the majority of door handle sets.
