New Front Door Handles??

    Can anyone identify this Front Door Handle fitted to a Munster Joinery Door as I need to replace.

    Theres nothing wrong with the actual locking mechanisms but the actual door handles themselves have failed and fall off. The outside handle came off in someones hand and when I disassembled to investigate it appears the flange on the end of the handle has worn away and there is nothing for the locking horse-shoe washer (assume its called something like that) to grip onto to hold the handle to the rest of the handle/lock frame thingy.

    I figured that until I can replace, I'd swap the inside handle that had an intact flange and horseshoe washer for the outside one, so using a grips I pulled the horseshoe washer open a bit to get it over the flange, to remove the inside handle and swap it to the outside, whereupon I pinched the horseshoe washer closed behind the flange. Job was a Goodin for about a day but I've obviously weakened or cant pinch it back tight enough behind the flange because now that handle won't stay attached either and both handles come off the square through bar in ones hands.

    Ideally, I'd like to avoid replacing the actual locking mechanism itself and have to get new keys cut for the whole family. I really just need the door handle hardware. So if anyone has advice on what brand this handle is and where to get a replacement, that would be fantastic. TIA.

    Jaysus. I found it myself with google straight after posting. LOL. I'll leave the thread in place for future googlers/boardsie searchers.

    My handle with the Hexagon Logo is a 'Hoppe' door handle.

    I bought a replacement set of front door handles from this company in the UK, worked out a lot cheaper than the local builder's merchant, better selection too: https://security-hardware.co.uk/door-hardware/upvc-door-handles/handles-by-brand/hoppe-door-handles/

    You will need to measure the centre-to-centre distances between the spindle and lock barrel to see which matches your existing ones.
