Noisy Door Handles

[puntloos]

Why are door handles so hard? So many door handles I've had in my life make a ton of noise when turning. 

<krrrrrr> generic cracking

<ping poing> maybe a spring? No idea why springs need to make noise but eh

<pop> the latch that pops loose apparently had some tension

<shhhhhhh> door that slides across the carpet

<squeeee> hinges (ok this I can kinda fix with oil.)

 

How do I find quality doorhandles?

Ìs it the handles, or is it the locks/ latches ? As far as handles go. There are a few posh companies who produce high quality handles, but get ready to pay £250 a pair of handles.

Well my sound spectrum includes both I guess. I'm in a fairly nice-ish rental place now and the list of noises that the door handle+latch are making is impressive  - but yes it's not *just* one or the other in my particular door.
