Description
Door Handle Springs (2.5-turn coil, 2.0mm thick) for internal door handles. This spring has an external diameter of 27.5mm. A spring with an external diameter of 30mm is also available (see separate listing). Can be used on both right handed and left handed handles. Spring dimensions are shown in the additional photograph. 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 store. This spring is 2.0mm 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.

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