Lever-style door handsets are identical to traditional doorknobs in mechanical design and function. When repairing or replacing a doorknob lever, you need to remove the faceplate -- also called a trim plate or rosette -- to gain access to the internal latch and mounting components. Removal procedures will vary slightly based on lever handle design and model, but all types can be successfully removed with basic household tools. Levers and faceplates are typically mounted with screws, spring-loaded mechanisms or a combination of both. First, you'll need to inspect the device and choose the correct tools. Inspect the lever and faceplate on both sides of the door and locate the single mounting screw on the lever shaft and two or more screws on the faceplate. Screw heads may be of the slotted (flat-head), cross-head (Phillips) or hexagonal (Allen) variety. If screws are not visible on the shaft, plate or both, refer to the next section. Remove the shaft screw by turning counterclockwise with a screwdriver or hex wrench.
Remove the lever by pulling outward from the shaft. Remove the faceplate screws by turning counterclockwise with a screwdriver or hex wrench. Remove the faceplate by grasping and pulling outward along the shaft. If the plate is difficult to remove by hand, insert a flat-head screwdriver under the edge of the plate plate where it meets the door surface, prying outward using gentle pressure. Repeat the procedure to remove the opposite lever and faceplate if desired. Inspect the lever shaft and locate the slot or hole. Some models may feature a hole or slot on the inside rim of the faceplate just below the shaft. Remove the lever by inserting an awl, nail or small screwdriver into the slot or hole, pushing inward while pulling the lever outward along the shaft with your hand. Note that some lever assemblies provide a special tool for this purpose. Inspect the faceplate at the edge where it meets the door surface and look for a narrow notch on one side of the base. Some models may not feature a notch but can still be pried off.
Insert a flat-head screwdriver putty knife or similar tool into the notch or under the faceplate edge, prying outward with gentle pressure. The plate will unsnap from the interior mounting ring and will remove by pulling outward along the lever shaft. Repeat the procedure for the opposite lever and faceplate if desired. /Getty Images Suggest a Correction BUYING DOOR KNOBS – THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW Door knobs sound like a straightforward item to purchase, but there are some pitfalls and things you need to know and consider before buying. Door knobs that are designed to turn are sold in pairs with a connecting spindle, normally with the screw fixings required to attach them to the face of the door. The Latch or Lock Mechanism For your knobs to turn they will need a lock or latch mechanism. These should be purchased separately to suit the door knobs, or you may already have these in your doors. There are two types of mechanism. Most common is a mortise lock or latch, which is set into the edge of the door.
The other traditional option is a rim lock or latch, which is a surface mounted box, these are often decorative. Rim Knobs or Mortise Knobs If you have a mortise type latch/lock, then all our door knobs will fit. If you have a rim latch/lock, only selected rim knobs will suit. The functionality is indicated in the product description on our website. Rim knobs require loose backplates, as normally only one backplate is used on the non rim lock side of the door. Mortise only door knobs have backplates which are fixed to the door knob part and are generally attached to the door face using fixing screws. Door knobs require a deeper setback than door handles. The setback is the distance from the edge of the door to the centre of the hole in the latch/lock which the interconnecting spindle passes through. You must ensure you have enough space to fit 50% of the knob diameter plus finger room, when the door is closed into the rebate. Tight spacing is a problem which must be avoided (apart from damaged fingers) it is a sign of shoddy building work.
If you are buying a new lock/latch this should be easy to get right. If you have existing spindle holes, you can cut a paper template of the door knob diameter, stick it on your door and check the spacing. Door handles require less setback and so it is normally not possible to replace door handles with door knobs without a change to the mechanism and all that this entails. The spindle bar goes into the back of one door knob, through the mechanism and into the back of the other one. Spindles can vary in their design, especially for rim knobs. Modern (post metric) spindles are a standard 8mm square section bar and this is what fits through standard locks and latches. Old latches/locks may have an imperial spindle size. This can be a problem as the metric standard is very slightly larger and the spindle is too fat to fit through the hole. The simple way around this (which saves replacing all the old mechanisms) is to file around the spindle hole in the latch/lock until it fits. We often meet this problem and this is the easiest and best solution.
Imperial/ metric sizing is an issue if you are buying reclaimed door knobs, as spindles and holes in the back of knobs will not fit modern metric fittings. Inside the latch mechanism is a spring which door knobs rely on to return them after turning. Some modern door knobs have a spring in the backplate of the knob itself, these are called sprung door knobs. Ours all rely on the spring in the latch doing the work and are unsprung. The spring in latch must therefore be heavy duty. Cheap latches from DIY sheds will not be man enough for the job unless they are labelled Heavy Duty. In our range we have pairs of door knobs between 42 and 75mm in diameter. On a modern standard door (1980 x 760mm) a 50mm diameter knob is normally about right. Large internal and external doors can take a larger diameter, up to 75mm. The size which is right for your door depends upon the size of the door and how much presence you want the knob to have. We recommend making a paper template to help determine this.
If you are not sure, you can purchase samples. Click this link to go to another post “How to select the right size door knobs” We have styles in the range from all periods in time. You need to think about whether you are trying to keep your house in period, or perhaps you want to go for the ones you like best. If you have a Georgian property, consider Bloxwich and Octagonal styles. For Victorian, the beehive would be the most traditional. Edwardian, look to the Classic Oval and Classic round and any wooden door knobs. We also have a wonderful collection of Art Deco door furniture. You may want to consider the same door knobs throughout your house, but do not be afraid to have one style downstairs and another up. This would have been very common, as downstairs doors would often be larger and would be where visitors would see and use the door knobs. Door knobs have been made over the years in lots of different materials. The choice you have is wide, brass, nickel, chrome, wood, glass, iron etc.
Your decision may be determined by the period of your property, your interior scheme or your personal preference. If you want to add colour consider glass or porcelain. If you want to go with the period, brass and porcelain were most popular in Victorian times, wooden door knobs were popular in Edwardian houses and when we hit Art Deco look to polished nickel or chrome. By far the most popular material is brass and all our brassware is sold unlacquered – the way it always was. Door Knobs which are not required to turn If you do not want a turning door knob and want it as a pull there are a few options. There are large door pulls for external doors which are sold singly and fixed with a bolt from the rear. For cupboard doors you can use cupboard knobs, again these are fixed with a bolt from the rear. Another option is that you can use a 1/2 pair of mortise door knobs (ones with backplates fixed to the door knobs) and just screw to the door face, discarding the spindle. This is useful if you want the same look on cupboard doors as on your main doors.
