Thanks for the feedback. The circlip removal tool is the only worthy tool for the job and you will end up using it on other doors as I found. Trying with thin pliers is a bad idea, as it damages the existing clips if it slips and you also end up cutting your hand. If you use a proper Circlip removal tool, then the clips can often he re-used, as the spring is usually the faulty part.
Hello. The door handle should just pop off once you've undone the 4x screws. If it's a bit stubborn (which can be the case if the handle is stuck to paint), then just pull it horizontally with a bit of force.

That's very simple. To remove the handle part, you have to loosen the screw with the help of the screw driver. In the same way, loosen all the screws. Finally it can be removed simply with hands. It's that simple.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Been looking for this handle for ages 😭your the only one who has this same handle as me everyone else has different thank u mate ur a legend one questione where do I get the little latch piece from cuz it’s broke for me too the same piece
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.
Yeah totally agree, the days of robust goods is over in certain sectors, the manufacturers cut costs and use cheaper less durable materials, then as a side hustle setup a separate parts business to keep taking on the back end
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
I bought them from the links provided in the description. I can't remember the exact size I used for this handle, but I've used them on all types of handles.
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
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!!
Do you measure the springs by how many turns they have ? I presume the sizes are not universal. Nice video.
excellent video thank you
Thank you!!!! Finally - simple, straightforward and with an ‘old’ style handle! Thought I’d spend the rest of my life searching 🤣 thank you!
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
Thanks for the feedback. The circlip removal tool is the only worthy tool for the job and you will end up using it on other doors as I found.

@@HandymanSavage I agree. It cost less than a fiver and saves you hours of messing about with the *wrong* tool.
Hello, do you have a video how to detach the door handle from the door please? It just doesn't want to come off....
Hello. The door handle should just pop off once you've undone the 4x screws. If it's a bit stubborn (which can be the case if the handle is stuck to paint), then just pull it horizontally with a bit of force.
Very helpful. ..but where can you purchase a replacement spring please..?

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

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!

Thank you so much for such a handy video. I now have saved two perfectly good door handles from landfill!
Glad it helped!
@@HandymanSavagedont have circlip pliers how do i take that clip off ive tried for hours no joy
@@gtaplayboi6 Save yourself hours by buying the circlips, they come in handy for when other handles go faulty.
Does this apply of you have the same handle but it has a key locking hole aswell?
I took the handles off to paint the door and now both handles have no springyness. Wtf?
Thank you. Very helpful. Just what was required 😊😊😊

Great video. Simple, practical solution to something I had no idea where to start. Where can I get those springs?
Thanks for the feedback, links to the springs can be found in the video description
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?
Post up a pic of the item
Sliding doors are superior. No mechanical parts, impossible to breakdown.
Hello,
.Great video, Where did you buy the spring?
Thanks, check the links in the description, there are links to the springs there
Where do you find the springs?
Do you mean where you buy them?
Really helpful, thank you 👍
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!!
If you mean the metal bit with the pointy ears, that's called a "Door Handle Cam Washer".
Here's a link to the item: amzn.to/3pBYWFC
