Give us a quick call today to discuss your loose door handles.

Typically we find that when we get callouts for a door handle that is spinning loosely or not returning, it is usually a sign that something within your mechanism has slipped.
Through no fault of your own, this could be loose screws, a spring that needs a little adjustment, a plate that is loose or a spindle that has slipped out of alignment.
We’ll check:
The detent mechanism and springs
The spindle alignment between both sides of the handle
Loose lever door handles or knobs that aren’t gripping properly
The faceplate and set screw that hold the handle together

A loose door knob can be even more irritating than a wobbly lever handle. Sometimes it turns but doesn’t open the latch; sometimes it just spins.
As expert locksmiths, we handle everything from lock installation to having a door handle removed, from being asked to tighten door handles to explaining what screw threads and protruding pins are for in a door handle mechanism.
We’ve fixed countless loose door knobs and loose handles in Kensington homes and Chelsea offices, and in nearly every case, the fix was straightforward once we got the handle off and inspected the mechanism.
When we fix a loose lever door handle, we fix a door handle by using one of the methods below:
Tighten any loose screws we find on your handle
Check and realign the handle post and backing plate
Ensure the lever returns smoothly without sticking

Once we’re finished, nothing feels loose, everything fits snugly and properly aligns again.
We’ve done this for countless properties around Earls Court and South Kensington, from small retail doors to larger office spaces. The difference after a quick adjustment is immediate.
If you’ve got a uPVC door handle, there’s a good chance your screws are hidden behind a faceplate or small round hole.

Check all your visible screws as well
Replace any of your missing screws with new hardware that matches the old
Test the full door handle assembly to ensure a smooth return
You’ll have your handle feeling tight again, and it’ll stay that way.
