Brass Door Handle spring replacement - SAVE $$$ 

Sounds good, tell us how you get on! Worth getting a tool then to handle the lock spring fitting as that was a pain as you can tell in the video.

Thank you! Cheers!

Most welcome!

Would have been handy and would suggest getting these to make the fix much easier... GREAT suggestion 👍

What if I don’t have one

You will struggle a little like me in the vid using small screw driver :)

Hi depends on the door handle, they are called "Door Handle Spring Replacement Internal Coils", you need to count the number of turns of the coil, either 2 turns, 2 & 1/4 turns or 2 & 1/2 turns. Good luck !!

Very sorry Ian not sure, these are only style I have in the house Did you figure it out?

@@joewoodford9428 Yes, eventually. I worked out that the shaped washers were held in place by the brass of the inner part of the hanle having been beaten and rolled over. I filed a small amount of this off then managed to prise the washers off, and remove the handle, and extract the spring. I made a new spring for each side of the door handle by fixing an electric drill in my bench vice and manually turning the chuck with a bolt while winding 1.5mm piano wire around a dowel. Once I found the right size of dowel (Trial and error), making the springs was not difficlt. I hammered the washers flat, gently hammerd the brass of the inside door handle back until I could slip the washers over it, then re-beat the brass to hold the washers in place. Now I have to handles good as new!

Thank you! Cheers!

Not to sure what you mean, by replacing the mechanism? This to show how to replace the spring.

Let me check - give me a few days!

@@joewoodford9428 not a problem I will wait for your reply thank you 😊

This is where I bought them from www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201369033652

@@joewoodford9428 thank you so much for replying I already put in my order can’t wait to fix the other two door handles keep up the good work you explained really well too from all the other videos I watched it was clear and very helpful thank you 😊 will get back to you if I have any more questions for sure 👏🏻👍

I've used a circlip pliers to remove the clip no damage and they can rtgen be reused and the coil spring is 2 turn you can also get 3 turn spring so be sure you have the same spring as you are replacing.

@ Derek Laheen, the parts were bought off eBay for a couple $$/££. Suggest you google them or check out your local eBay sellers. Good luck , they are fiddly to fix as you can see but worth it and much cheaper than new brass handles. If helpful please think to Sub and LIKE :)

Yup those would have been handy, though not every one has them. For 90% how don't this is a method you can try. Use safety glasses is great idea !

As per the notes, eBay was here I order some. They are cheap.

Hahaha, maybe we like to repair things ??!
