## Overview

Northern DIY’s zinc-plated 3mm thick door handle springs deliver durable, corrosion-resistant performance with a universal ambidextrous fit.

## Description

Door Handle Springs (2.5-turn coil, 3.0mm thick) for internal door handles. Can be used on both right handed and left handed handles. Spring dimensions are shown in the additional photograph. Excellent quality springs giving the handle a firm, positive feel. The springs have a passivated zinc coating for corrosion resistance. When replacing a door handle spring the two most important things to check are a) the orientation of the external hook compared to the internal hook eg. is it a 2-turn coil or a 2.5-turn coil and b) the thickness of the spring (we define thickness as the height of the spring when laid flat). Most springs are retained with a circlip, which can be removed and replaced using external circlip pliers. External circlip pliers are available quite cheaply elsewhere on desertcart. This spring is 3.0mm thick. Please note that if you fit a thinner spring than originally fitted the handle will have some excess play. If you fit a thicker spring than originally fitted it may be difficult to replace the circlip and the handle may have a tendency to stick. To see our full range (organised by spring type and size) please click ‘visit the Northern DIY store’ by the title above. Tip: When fitting a new spring a little grease will give better wear and movement. Fitting instructions are available on the Northern DIY website.

Review: Much cheaper than replacing door handles, and more satisfying - I replaced a number of broken springs without any difficulty. It saved me replacing the door handles – and was far cheaper. It requires patience but is not difficult. The symptom is the door handle not returning to the horizontal position. That actually means that two springs have gone, not one, because there is a spring in each handle. On discovering this, I checked all my other door handles and found that some were sloppy i.e. they didn’t quite return to horizontal (unless I pushed them to horizontal) and they did so with less force than others. I realised that that meant that a spring had gone in one of the handles. The first thing to do is to measure the spring’s thickness – take the door handle off and put a 2p coin (1993 onwards), £2 and £1 coin against the spring (without taking the handle apart). If your spring is as thick as a 2p/£2/£1 coin then you need a 2.0/2.5/3.0mm thick coil respectively. Reassemble the door and order the parts. Don’t do what I did and leave the door with no handles on it because I came within centimetres of closing it out of habit – had I done so then I would have in effect locked myself in that room (as I had left the catch itself inside the door – it would have engaged in the door frame). In addition to springs you will need circlip pliers – ordinary pliers will not do the job – and safety spectacles. A tiny amount of Vaseline is recommended to lubricate the spring. There are two types of circlip pliers – external and internal. You will need external ones (when you squeeze the pliers, the jaws open. With internal ones, they close. Circlips on door handles are external i.e. they envelop a shaft. Internal circlips are located inside a bore). Some people say that the circlips can fly off when taking them off. This did not happen to me. However, only open them gently – I opened one too far (which is not far at all) and it snapped. For the job, I bought springs of three different thicknesses (as I have different door handles with all three size springs), spare circlips and circlip pliers. If my experience is anything to go by, you do not need the spare circlips. To summarise, you need: • Springs • External circlip pliers • Safety spectacles Optional: • Vaseline • Spare circlips

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these springs fit martelli handels**
A: I do not know, I doubt it.  They fit some Carlisle items but not all.   Google door latch springs and you will find dozens all different.  Take your lock apart and check the spring, measure diameter, thickness and number of turns and find a match.  Best help I can offer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheaper than new handle

did the job perfectly, cheaper than new handle. You'll ideally buy a circlip tool kit too.
