How to Replace Door Handles

Door handles are a crucial element of your home's decor. A new handle will elevate your space and bring your decor up-to-date.

Over time your knobs for your doors can begin to feel stiff and even break. These are indications that it's time to replace them. This guide will help choose the correct door handle replacement for your home.

Door Knobs

The handles on your doors will improve the look of your home and make it easier for you to open and close them. They come in a wide variety of colors, finishes and styles that will complement your decor. If yours is beginning to show signs of wear or you just want to upgrade replacing them is simple and can be done in a couple of steps.

You must locate the shaft, or spindle, through which the knob is inserted to the door. Some knobs have a tiny opening that you can access with a screwdriver to remove the set screws that secure the handle. Some have a thin slot, or hole, that you can use to press the spring-activated detent pin using a flathead. When you press this pin and the latch mechanism opens, it releases and lets you pull or push on the knob.

Once you have the spindle or shaft, in your hand, remove the old knob and replace it. Make sure it is aligned correctly and ensure whether the latch works before tightening the new set screws.

After replacing the knob, place the latch rod over the door's hole. Secure it by securing it to the rod system on the second knob. Make sure the holes are lined up then thread the screws on the latch plate and tighten them.

Some people opt for a smooth or brushed metal finish for their door hardware to create modern, sleek design that is a perfect match for other furniture in their homes. Some prefer a rustic style that goes well with farmhouse-styled rooms. If you have members of your household who have mobility issues You may be interested in an rim lock or a lever style door knob that require less pressure to operate.

While aesthetics are traditionally the main consideration when it comes to door handle design, other factors are becoming more important as well. Accessibility and infection control have been major considerations in the creation of new designs for window handles for upvc. For example some handles can be operated using a person's arm.

Latch

The latch that keeps your door handle open can wear out from age and use. The replacement of the latch to fit an entirely new handle can be an easy DIY project and it will make a huge change in the way your door opens and closes.

Depending on the kind of knob you have, the latch may be part of the knob itself, or it might be an independent piece attached to the Conservatory door handles. In any case, you'll follow the same procedure for removing and replacing. It's simple to take off the old latch, especially when you have an entry handle that has a "magic" button. The button is located on the left side of the knob, this small pressure-slot is the one you need to press to pull the latch out of the handle and out of the latching mechanism.

If your handle doesn't have this magic button you'll need to remove the cover plates that are placed over the latch plate. They are typically rectangular or circular and can be removed with a screwdriver. Some have slots where you can put your screwdriver. Other handles simply snap off.

Then, loosen the machine screws that hold the plate's inner and latch to the door handle. These are the screws that are shorter with a sharp point and you'll need to keep these in a secure location to reuse them in subsequent steps. Once the screws are removed you can pull the latch plate and mechanism out of the door's hole and set it aside.

You can now begin installing the new latch. Install the inside plate of the latch into the hole in the door and secure it with the hardware provided. Make sure that the square pin on interior of the latch faces the latching mechanism inside the handle and aligns with the screw holes on the other sides of the handle. Then, push the outside latch plate on and secure it using the screws supplied.

Strike Plate

It is common to replace a door handle when it is loose or isn't locking properly. This is typically caused by misaligned parts in the latching system, for example a striking plate that's either too short or has moved up or downward on the doorjamb as time passes. This simple project will allow you to replace your existing strike plate with a new, larger one that will provide better security and ensure that your door stays shut.

Apply a lipstick or other marking material on the latch bolt to check if it is the strike plate. Close the conservatory door handles and try to latch it. If the mark is below the strike plate's hole, it indicates that the plate is too small and the door will not latch. If the mark is over the strike plate hole, it's likely that the strike plate has been moved up or down the doorjamb.

You might be able to put the new strikeplate in the one you have already installed by using the screws supplied with it, based on your door. However, you might need to pre-drill holes and then chisel some of the wood to make sure it's snugly fitted. If this is the case make sure you don't cut too much wood or you'll damage the strength of the doorjamb.

You can also try installing a new box strike plate which gives the lock a much stronger grip on the door and requires more force to open it. It typically requires two longer screws to fix the strike plate to the door frame. You'll have remove the previous strike plate before drilling and chiseling the wood to make space for the new one.

This strike plate is specifically designed to work with rim locks from the past, and it's made from robust solid brass with the heavy duty thickness. This kit includes wood screws and machine screws, allowing you to choose the right hardware to suit your needs. Be aware that wood screws have a pointy tip, while the machine screws are more blunt.
