Door handles enhance the appearance of your home, while making it easier for people to open and shut doors. They are available in a variety of finishes, colors, and styles to complement your decor. If yours have started to show signs of wear or requires an upgrade You can replace them in a couple of easy steps.

You need to locate the shaft, or spindle through which the knob is connected to the door. Some knobs have a small opening that you can use an screwdriver to take out the set screws that secure the handle. Some have a slot or hole where can be used with a flathead screwdriver to press on a spring-activated pin, also known as a detent. When you press the pin, the latch mechanism releases and allows you to pull or push 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 new set screws.

After replacing the knob, put the rod for the latch into the hole on the door. Interlock it with the rod system on the second knob. Make sure that the holes are lined up then thread the latch plate screws and tighten the screws.

Some people choose an brushed or smooth metal finish for their door hardware, giving their home a sleek and contemporary look. It will complement their other furniture.

Other aspects are being looked at more and more when it comes to the design of aluminium door handle handles. Accessibility and infection control have been key issues when it comes to developing new handle designs. For example, some can be operated with the arm of a person.

Latch

The latch that holds the door handle open may wear out as time passes. It is easy to change the latch on your door handle. This will result in an enormous difference in the way it opens and closes.

Depending on the type of knob you are using, the latch may be part of the knob itself, or it could be an independent piece that is attached to the door itself. In either scenario, the same procedure for removing and installing is applicable. It's simple to take off the old latch, particularly if you have doors with a "magic" button. The tiny pressure-slot, which is located on the side knob, is the one you'll need to press in order to pull the latch out of the handle.

If your handle does not have this button the first step is to remove any cover plates that rest over the latch plate. They are typically circular or rectangular and can be removed with the help of a screwdriver. Some have a slot in which you can insert your screwdriver, whereas others simply snap off.

Then, remove the machine screws that secure the inner plate and latch to the door handle. It is important to keep these shorter screws with sharp tips in a safe place so that you can reuse them in the future. Once the screws are removed, you can take the latch plate and mechanism from the hole and set it aside.

You can now begin installing the new latch. Install the latch plate into the door hole and secure it using the hardware supplied. Make sure the square pin that is on the interior of the latch is pointing towards the latching mechanism inside the handle and that it is lined up with the other screw chambers inside the door handle. Then fix the exterior latch plate with the provided screws.

Strike Plate

One of the most common reasons to replace the double glazed door handles handle is because it feels loose or doesn't lock properly. This is usually caused by incorrectly aligned parts of the latching mechanism, such as a striking plate that's either too small or has moved upwards or downward on the doorjamb over time. This easy project allows you to replace your existing strike plate with a longer, new one that will give you better security and will keep your door shut.

Apply a lipstick or other marking material on the bolt for the latch to determine if it's the strike plate. Close the door, then try to latch it. If the mark is lower than your strike plate hole, it means that the plate is too small and the door won't latch. If the mark is higher or below the strikeplate hole, the strikeplate has likely been moved up or downward on the doorjamb.

You may be able simply to screw the new strikeplate into place over the one you have already installed using the screws included with it, based on the door. However, you may need to drill holes prior to drilling and then chisel out some of the wood to make sure it's a good fit. If this is the case, you must be careful not to cut too much or you may damage the strength of your doorjamb.

Installing a new style box strike plate will give the lock a more secure hold on the doors and will require more force to open the doors. Typically it will require two longer screws to secure the strike plate to the door frame. To do this, you'll have to take off the existing strike plate, then drill and chisel the wood to make room for the new one.

This hard-to-find strike plate is specifically designed to work with rim locks from the past, and it's constructed of robust solid brass with an extremely thick. This kit includes both wood screws as well as machine screws so you can select the appropriate hardware for your requirements. Keep in mind that wood screws have a pointed point, whereas machine screws are blunter.
