    All,

    The door handle to our front uPVC door comes off the door when you pull it. The vertical part which the handle and the lock sits into has become worn. It is difficult to explain it. But you can remove this vertical piece by unscrewing the two screws from the inside face. Does anyone know where I could pick up one of these vertical pieces.

    I cannot post any attachments. If you go to a company called Mila and within their PDF manual, Page 34. I think it is called the lock guard. In our case the lock guard and the handle are not integrated as one.

    Is there a second hand shop place where you could pick up one of these. We do noy want to replace the whole door.

    MILA, kilbarrack. You buy them in a set. 2 handles. About 25€.

    Might be a missing circlip.

    Take off the other handle and compare the two of them, you might notice the missing part.

    The handle is made to suit the mechanism so you might need to bring the door mechanism with you

    Any i've ever seen are universal with standard Euro cylinder opening. Only thing to watch is the length / colour. As Joey says, bring it with you anyway to be sure.

    Its a common enough occurrence. 99% of the time, the plastic washer snaps behind the handle. Not serviceable unfortunately. And its the inner handle that goes due to frequency of the pulling action in the vast majority of cases.
