Description
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). This pack is ideal if you have more than one type of handle to fix or if you are unsure of the thickness of the original springs. 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 store. Two springs of each of the three most common sizes of 2.5 turn coil are included in this pack. 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. The circlips included in this pack are the most common size and fit the vast majority of door handles.

Tip: When fitting a new spring a little grease will give better wear and movement. Fitting instructions are available on the Northern DIY website.
