How to fix a Loose Door Handle - Replace broken spring 

Thank you!!!! Finally - simple, straightforward and with an ‘old’ style handle! Thought I’d spend the rest of my life searching 🤣 thank you!

Just done this to 3 door handles. Thank you so much. Saved me a few quid on new door handles. Also noticed one of the latches was very stiff so took it out and dropped in some graphite powder. Handles are working like a dream now. Thanks again.

Top man. Just fixed a pair of handles, with relative ease, thanks to you.

Thanks so much! The door handles in my house are 65 years old and I'd rather not have to replace them all as they break!

Now to fix my door handle. Previously I just bought new handle but I can't get the same shape anymore. Thank you for showing how. Best wishes b

Why did you skip the removal of the door handle part. I struggle with that

Do you measure the springs by how many turns they have ? I presume the sizes are not universal. Nice video.

Hi handyman savage and everyon. The metal thing that goes into the door frame which I don't know the name of hardly moves when I turn the handles, I hope that makes sense can you give me any tips or advice to sort out issue please. Great video thankyou.

Great video. Simple, practical solution to something I had no idea where to start. Where can I get those springs?

Really nice tutorial! Is there any other way to open the door handle for those who dont have the circlip removal tool? Im struggling here haha

This is the first video that comes up when I search for “round door knob handle keeps popping off; will not stay on” the spring that holds the “round handle” will not hold it on. Do you have an answer for my question since your video keeps coming up? It’s a simple question.

Hello, do you have a video how to detach the door handle from the door please? It just doesn't want to come off....

My handle has no circlip - only a steel washer with notches to limit the handle movement. This seems to have been put on and held solid by friction. Trying to lever up this steel washer bends it. How do i get this off?

Very helpful. ..but where can you purchase a replacement spring please..?

Happened to 2 door handles in my house, within one day of each other. One spring goes before the other so you end up with a working handle that's a lot easier to push - then about 4 months later the next spring goes, causing the handle to flop down. I looked up the date I bought them (they are "bolt through" ones going on cheap doors with hardboard outer panels) and they were bought in July 2020 so it's now March 2024, they didn't even last 4 years. If I open the door 20 times a day for 4 years that's about 30,000 times. Why don't they just make the springs more durable! They could just make it thicker vertically, which would make it harder to turn the door handle, but I don't care about that. They make everything cheap as they can these days and it's annoying. Meanwhile my downstairs door handles have been turned just as many times and they must be at least 30 years old by now, so they have had about 146,000 turns, with no issues.

Hello, .Great video, Where did you buy the spring?

Usually the springs only break after the handles are well worn - Better to replace the full pair of handles as the cost of finding the correct springs against the cost of a new pair of handles in minimal

Nice video. Where did you get the replacement spring? UK based... Many thanks in advance

Greatt stuff..where do I get the replacement springs?

Just moved into a property and im trying to change the door handles mechanism but the previous owners have painted over it. Any ideas please?

Sliding doors are superior. No mechanical parts, impossible to breakdown.

Where do you find the springs?

What is the metal ring piece that you put after spring is in place called? The two little metal piece of the inner ring is bent and i dont know what it is called to find the replacement. Tx!!

I took the handles off to paint the door and now both handles have no springyness. Wtf?

Thank you for this video very informative and helpful. I did want to ask what is the measurement of the spring?as your handle is the exact same one I have. I’ve seen some online 1.8mm and 2.5mm

Thanks my dog is broken but I think I’ll call you give me your number so you fix my door please I am in sand with your videos
