Door Knobs

Door window handles for wooden windows enhance the look of your home, while making it easier for people to open and close doors. They are available in a variety of colors, finishes, and types to complement your decor. If yours is beginning to show signs of wear or requires an upgrade, you can replace them in a couple of easy steps.

You need to locate the shaft, or spindle, through which the knob is attached to the door. Some knobs have a tiny opening that can be used with an screwdriver to take out the set screws that hold the handle in place. Some have a tiny slot, or hole, that you can press a spring-activated detent pin with flathead. When you press the pin, the latch mechanism releases and allows you to pull or push on the knob.

Once you have the spindle or shaft in your hands take the knob off and replace it. Make sure you align it properly and test to see that the latch functions properly before tightening the new set screws.

After replacing the knob, you can place the rod for the latch into the hole on the door. Secure it by securing it to the rod system on the second knob. Make sure that the holes are aligned and then thread in the latch plate screws and tighten them.

Some prefer the smooth or brushed finish for their upvc door locks and handles hardware to create an elegant, modern look that matches other furnishings in their homes. Some prefer a rustic style that works well with farmhouse-style rooms.

Other aspects are being considered more and more for the design of door handles. Accessibility and infection control have been key issues in the creation of new designs for handles. For instance some handles handle designs can be operated by the arm of a person.

Latch

The latch that opens your door will wear out due to the wear and tear of use. It is easy to change the latch on your door handle. This will result in a big difference in how it opens and closes.

Depending on what kind of handle you choose the latch can be a separate piece or a component of the knob. In either scenario, the same procedure to remove and install is applicable. Getting the old latch out of its place is quite simple especially if the door handle has what is known as a "magic button". Located on the side of the knob, this little pressure-slot is the one you need to press to pop the latch out of the handle and off of the latching mechanism.

If your upvc handle window does not have this button, you'll have to take off the cover plates that are placed over the latch plate. They are typically rectangular or circular and can be removed using the aid of a screwdriver. Some have slots where you can insert your screwdriver, while others just snap off.

Then, unscrew the machine screws that attach the inner plate and latch to the door handle. You'll need to keep the screws that are shorter tilt and turn window handles have an angled tip in a secure location to be able to reuse them in the future. After these screws are removed you can remove the latch plate and mechanism out of the hole in the door and place it in a safe place.

Then you can begin to install the new latch. Install the inside plate of the latch into the hole in the door, and secure it using the provided hardware. Make sure that the square pin on interior of the latch is facing the latching mechanism inside the handle and aligns with the screw holes on the other sides of the handle. Then, secure the exterior latch plate with the provided screws.

Strike Plate

It is typical to replace a door handle because it feels loose, or doesn't lock properly. This is usually due to incorrectly aligned parts of the latching system, for example a strike plate that is too short or has moved up or down on the doorjamb as time passes. This simple fix allows you to replace your old strike plate with a new, larger one that will provide better security and ensure that your door stays shut.

Apply a lipstick or another marking material on the bolt for the latch to determine if it's the strike plate. Close the door and attempt to latch it. If the mark is below the strike plate hole, this indicates that your door won't latch because the plate isn't long enough. If the mark is higher or below the strikeplate hole the strikeplate may have been moved upwards or downwards on the doorjamb.

You might be able to install the new strikeplate in place over the existing one using the screws that come with it, depending on your door. But, you may have to pre-drill holes and then chisel out some of the wood to make sure it's snugly fitted. If this is the case, be cautious not to chisel too much or you may ruin the integrity of your doorjamb.

Installing a new style box strike plate will give the lock a more secure grip on doors and require more force to open the doors. Typically it requires two long screws that secure the strike plate to the frame of the door. To do this, you'll need to remove the existing strike plate and then drill and chisel out the wood to create space for the new one.
