Variety of accessories

The appearance of accessories can be very diverse - from elegant Italian products to deliberately rough, imitating antiquity. More important is structural diagram fixtures.

On this basis, 3 main types of fittings are distinguished.

• Overhead - or stationary. They do not include any locking mechanisms and serve only to open or close the sash. The shape of the accessory can be very diverse: U-shaped, round, sculptural. You can disassemble such a handle using a conventional screwdriver.
• Push - includes a locking mechanism. When you press the pressure lever, usually L-shaped, the force is transmitted through a special rod and removes the latch tongue from the lock groove. Thus, the interior sash is opened.
• Knob - have a round, oval or other volumetric form, although in fact they are distinguished from other types of door fittings by the presence of a more complex lock that allows you to lock the room from the inside. This option is very common in living rooms and hotels, but is also rare in apartments. In the photo - an elegant version of the accessory.

Accessories are made from the most different materials. Moreover, both the style of the product itself and the design of the fittings are important. So for the pressure version, metal is most often used, less often plastics - the latter is too soft and fragile and, if pressed too hard, quickly becomes unusable. The overhead model is made of wood, metal, and plastic.

For a round model, metal and glass, both silicate and organic, are most often used. As a rule, glass is painted in different colours, form patterns and even an image in the depth of the subject. No less popular is the combination of metal with glass. This combination is especially effective in the sculptural execution of fittings.

2. Then a thin sharp tool, like a screwdriver or an awl, is pressed on the locking pin and the handle is pulled out. In the photo - extracting the knob.
3. Then, on the end part of the canvas, where the latch comes out, the bar is unscrewed. Usually this is enough Phillips screwdriver, however, there are models that require a special tool.
4. Pry off the bar with a screwdriver and carefully pull out the latch.

Varieties of the mechanism

All the variety of fittings can be reduced to 3 main types.

• Stationary - they are not connected with the lock, they are fixed directly on the door leaf. Often they can have the most intricate form, since in this case their design does not affect functionality in any way. It is easy to dismantle them: just unscrew the fixing screws.

• Push - this fitting is connected with a latch on a spring. Its role is to fix the sash in the closed state. When opening, the tongue hides inside the canvas and the sash opens. Such a device has a small decorative nozzle with a diameter of about 30 mm, which is called a socket. Such models are produced, for example, by company A

• Round or nobs - represent one whole with a simple mortise lock. On the one hand, in such a mechanism there is a keyhole for the key, on the other - a latch or button that blocks the opening. The model is completed with a round nozzle with a diameter of at least 50 mm. Moreover, quite often a sign that the castle is classified as a nob is not in itself round form, namely the overlay and the presence of a retainer.

Knobs are very popular lately, so many companies are engaged in their manufacture, for example, Palladium or Sirius.

The procedure is quite simple and in order to disassemble the mechanism you will need the simplest tools.

1. On the side where there is a button or latch on the nob, the decorative part of the handle is removed. To do this, press the stopper of the spring-loaded pin with a screwdriver or an awl - it is located on the side, as a rule, and at the same time the lining is pulled out. In the photo - the dismantling of Sirius fittings.
2. Then they find a recess on the flange - from below or from the side, and prying it with the flat side of a screwdriver or the tip of a knife, they also remove it.
3. Mounting screws are hidden under the flange. Since the decorative parts of the fittings have already been removed, nothing prevents them from unscrewing. Remove the handles together with the pin holding them.
4. At the end of the sash, the screws holding the bar are unscrewed, after which the latch can be removed.

First of all, you need to take care of removing the handle itself. To do this, unscrew the screw from the side or bottom using a screwdriver or a hex wrench. For nobs it is used special key to lock the spring-loaded pin. Then remove the decorative trim and unscrew the fixing screws. Remove the handle together with the axial part. This will give you access to the lock mechanism.

In order to disassemble the lock itself, you must first unscrew the plate from the end part. it can be held by 2-4 screws. After that, removing the tongue with all the other details is not difficult. You just need to push them in and get through the hole in the door leaf at the place where the handle was installed.

Latch

For a latch lock, there is a slightly different, but nevertheless largely similar principle of operation. In order to disassemble such a mechanism, you will need to initially remove the part that is located on the front side of the door.

To do this, unscrew the decorative cap from the side of the plug, it is often attached to the thread, but there are models that are fixed on the latch. After that, unscrew the screws that have opened to you and carefully remove the mechanism, including from reverse side.

Scheme of the interior latch device

To remove the lock, unscrew the end plate and gently push the inside of it. If the latch is connected to the handle, you will need to completely disassemble both to get the part you are interested in.

If you plan to completely replace the lock, do not forget to unscrew the strike plate on the door frame.

Complex locks

Another question – how to disassemble the interior mechanism door lock, which is closed with a key and contains more complex details at its core? It's about first of all, about such types as a cylinder and lever lock.

If we talk about the cylinder, in order to remove it, you need to unscrew the plate from the end and remove the front front part. This is done in the same way as in the case of the latch. Then using a screwdriver or other handy tool carefully slide the lock so that it can be removed from the end of the blade.

Also, its further repair will depend on the form and mechanism, so you can begin to be interested in this issue even at the time of purchase.

Types and arrangement of door handles

Modern production offers the following types:

• Fixed (stationary) - the most common. But they are the most inconvenient and not practical. They are a brace certain form(rectangular or arcuate) attached to the door leaf. Their repair comes down to moving to another place or replacing them.
• Push - this is a L-shaped device, which is attached to both sides of the canvas. Its mechanism is mounted inside door leaf and has an external tongue, with the help of which the door is fixed in doorway. To open such a mechanism, you need to press the handle.
• Round - this is a combination of a ball-shaped handle with a lock, mounted in the door. In practice, it is often placed in interior doors - only a small percentage of their models are designed for installation on front doors - most often they do not have burglary protection.

Door handle replacement

To replace or repair a handle with any variation of the mechanism, it will first have to be disassembled. To do this, you need a standard set of tools that perform minor repairs: Phillips screwdriver, pliers and a small adjustable wrench.

You can disassemble the stationary handle by performing the following series of actions:

• using a screwdriver, the outer lining is dismantled;
• then with the same screwdriver it is necessary to unscrew a pair of screws connecting the external and internal mechanisms;
• removed the main part

• we separate from the door part of the door lock that remains.

disassemble round pen it is possible like this:

• first remove the thin outer lining;
• under it we find a stopper, press it with something sharp, gently pull the mechanism to move the handle away from the canvas;

Repairs and minor damage

Having dismantled the door handle of the interior or entrance doors, it is necessary to check how all the elements work. Most often, repairing it means simply lubricating all the moving parts, and it will work as well as a new one.

Any lubricant can be used as a lubricant. machine oil or oil for lubricating parts of sewing machines.

You can clearly see the repair process in the video:

If the fixed (stationary) handle is loose on the door leaf, it may be sufficient to tighten the screws securing it to the door leaf or replace the plastic washers.

In a push-type handle, most often, such malfunctions occur: the mechanism has become loose, the return spring in the handle has weakened, or the tongue has stuck. Each of these faults can be fixed by yourself. To fix the loose mechanism, it is necessary to tighten the screws hidden under the outer lining. If the tongue is stuck inside the mechanism, then there may be two reasons for this: either the return spring of the L-shaped lever has weakened (burst), or the spring for attaching the tongue.

Both types of malfunction are eliminated by replacing the indicated springs.

The round handle also needs to be repaired periodically - it may break (weaken) the handle return spring or the latch tongue fastening spring. It is not difficult to disassemble it to eliminate backlash - first, in the round handle, a decorative trim is moved away, located near the door leaf, tucking it with something. Next, by pressing a sharp object on the ball inside small hole remove the handle ball. Then, the fastening screws, handles are tightened and everything is assembled in the reverse order.

The one-sided knob is attached to the socket. If there are no visible fasteners in the socket, then it is covered with a decorative overlay. To remove, first try to twist it counterclockwise. Usually the pad is unscrewed in 2-3 turns. If the overlay is not removed in the specified way, it means that it is put on the mounting plate using the snap-in method. The plate is carefully pry off with a screwdriver and removed, opening access to the mounting screws.

brace

Model-brackets are installed on heavy entrance doors. The bracket is more often on the bar, there are also models on the screeds. The latter include popular handles for plastic doors frequently found in office space. Mounting screws in models on the bar are often not hidden by a decorative overlay, so figuring out how to remove them is not difficult.

It is held by a clamping nut located on the base. To unscrew it, you will first need to find a hole for the rod. It is convenient to use a thin hex wrench, a small screwdriver. The rod is inserted into the hole, the nut is unscrewed, the bracket is removed.

push model

The l-shaped file handle is becoming a popular model that is installed on interior doors. For work on the dismantling of this type of door handle, you will need a thin Phillips and flat screwdrivers.

File handle

Lever handles have two types of devices: on the bar and on the socket. Each type has its own mounting features:

• Models on the outlet are available in two types: with and without a decorative overlay. Handles without a lining are equipped with open fasteners, so they start twisting immediately. In models with an overlay, the lever with the mounting plate is additionally held on the turntable with side screws, the holes for them are located on the side of the base of the bracket. After twisting the decorative trim, the fixing screws open.
• Models on the bar are removed according to the same principle. At open mount screws are removed immediately. decorative overlay is held by a snap, so it is removed by prying with a screwdriver.

Important! Decorative trims are made from thin metal. To remove it without bending, carefully examine and find it on the side small hole, through which it is hooked.

Pressing the locking element on the knobset

Important! After successful disassembly, the handle must be correctly installed back. When reassembling, make sure that the fixing pin falls into the socket (a characteristic click is heard). To do this, the knob is rotated around the axis. Otherwise, with a sharp opening, it may remain in the hands.

The decorative strip is fastened with thread or snap-on clips. It has a hole for the possibility of prying. After removing the bar, it remains to unscrew the screws on the screeds.
