Front or back door handles loose or worn - replace them

Gold coloured lever handle and moving pad
Here are a selection of front and back door handles in common use today in Ireland and elsewhere.  They are on external doors and used with the type of lock that requires the handle to be lifted upwards before the key can be turned to lock the door.  These handles come either with a built in spring of without a built in spring.  There are many sizes and many finishes available, the main colours in common usage are gold, silver, white and black.  Other finishes available are polished brass, brushed chrome and polished chrome.  These handle are commonly used  on wooden, PVC, Aluminium and composite PVC and wood effect doors.
A very common complaint is these type of handles become loose, this happens mostly to the outside handle because to the action of pulling the door closed over many years.  In the case the worn or loose handles have to be replaced.  You need to check how many screws are fixing the handle on the inside, measure the distance between the screws and measure the distance between the centre of the handle pivot point and the
