Door Handle Replacement

Door handles appear to be an insignificant thing however, if you don't like the way they look or are unable to use them, it's worth replacing them. Installing the new handle on your door is simple if you've got patience.

Most modern door handles have cover plates that hide the screws for an attractive appearance. If your new handle does not have screws already attached, you will have to attach them separately.

Removing the old Handle

Door handles are not only an important aesthetic addition to your home, but they're also essential for security as they allow you to lock and unlock your door. But, over time your door handle can lose its grip, appear loose, or look old and worn. This is an indication that it's time to replace it.

One of the first indications that your door handle is in need of replacing is the fact that it is becoming difficult to operate. This is a problem because it means you can no longer lock or unlock your door, which could pose an security risk to you and your family.

Another reason to replace the door handle is if it's damaged or broken. A damaged or broken door handle can be dangerous, particularly for elderly or children members who might struggle to open it. They may get trapped. Fortunately, it's fairly easy to fix a broken door handle by replacing the old one.

Most modern door handles are a standard size and therefore will fit on any door. If you aren't certain that the new door handle you are buying will work, take off the old one and take measurements of its holes in the housing. This will allow you to purchase the right size door handle.

It is the easiest method to remove the door handle by taking it off 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 need to remove this cover plate to get access to the screws underneath. After removing the old handle, take note of how the spindle has been connected. This will help you align the new handle.

You can also remove the door handle by depressing the latch mechanism.

Remove the Strike Plate

You'll need to replace the latch plate when you replace the handle. It's the plate that is the one that holds the hole in which the latch of the door hooks when the door is closed. The box that the new handles are packaged in will have two options for latch plates - one that is rectangular and the other circular (see the above diagram that outlines the parts of the door handle). If your current latch plate has rectangular in shape, swap it over to the round one so that the latch is able to hook into the strike plate in a way that makes the handle more comfortable to use.

The first step is to remove the screw that is holding the old latch plate in place. These screws can be quite tight and will require some force to loosen. It might be beneficial to have a second person assist with this task if you can.

If you're unsure if the latch plate is in the proper position Try closing and then opening the door to see whether it locks and closes correctly. If not you'll need to adjust the strike plate upwards or down, or even forward or back until the door closes 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 on older doors. It can be caused by wear and tear hinges that aren't narrow, the wrong size latch or a damaged strike plate. If this is the case, use a metal filing instead of a chisel or hammer to adjust the strike plate.

Removing the Latch

The latch is the angled piece of metal that moves in and out of the hole in the inner edge of your door. When you turn the handle, it pushes the latch forward, allowing you to open the door. It also hooks into a hole in the frame of the door to keep your door shut. If your composite door handles shakes when you close it, an upgrade to the latch could be all you need to fix the problem.

Insert the item into the latch's slot that is recessed and gently move it around until you feel the handle and latch start to separate. You may need repeat this process a few times before you are able to remove the latch.
