Looks like a knob you get in a cheap motel. Just in time for Xmas. Come and visit then NEVER escape! Problem is even with grub screw out handle won't budge off the plate. Plate also feels 'loose'....

ProDave Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Did YOU fit it? If so you will remember how it is supposed to come apart. If not, you are guessing how it is supposed to dome apart. Try taking the handle the other side off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no handle the otherside ( opening from outside is either finger scanner or key ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But usually in my experience ; remove grub and handle comes off easy; then remove plate. There is no handle the otherside ( opening from outside is either finger scanner or key ).

ProDave Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 I bet the outer part of that square is a cover that will just pop off if you get something flat like a chisel under it to prise it off and will reveal some fixing screws. The grub screw is probably to clamp the bar, not hold the handle in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t want to use brute ( masculine ) force and (expletive deleted) the door ! . But normally this is easy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Is that an Internorm door? if you look at the end of the door, there will be lots of screws holding the gear/mechanism. Be worth taking it out but the handle will need to come off first & pull the spindle out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming handle coming off was the best course - but it won’t Edited December 23, 2024 by Pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Pretty sure it will just prize off, small bit of plastic (credit card) to lever off gently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twice round the block Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 3 hours ago, Pocster said: Nope. I didn't fit it. There is no handle the otherside ( opening from outside is either finger scanner or key ). Take it off it's hinges and spin the door over so the duff handle is on the inside. 🤣🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
