Latch

The latch that opens your door will wear out due to age and use. It is simple to change the latch on your door handle. This will make a big difference in how it opens and closes.

Depending on what type of handle you are using the latch may be a separate part or a part of the knob. In either case, you will follow the same process to remove and replace. Getting the old latch out of its place is quite simple especially if the door handle is equipped with what's known as a "magic button". This tiny pressure-slot, found on the side knob is the one you'll need to press in order to pop the latch out of the handle.

If your handle does not have this magic button you'll have to take off the cover plates placed over the latch plate. They are typically rectangular or circular and can be removed by using a screwdriver in order to remove them off of the handle. Some have a small hole in them where you can insert your screwdriver through, while others simply snap off.

The next step is to loosen the two machine screws that secure the latch and the plate to the door handle. You will need to store the screws that are shorter and have an angled tip in a safe place so that you can reuse them in the future. Once the screws are removed you can pull the latch plate and mechanism out of the hole in the door and place it in a safe place.

Then you can begin to install the new latch. Install the inside plate of the latch into the hole in the upvc door handle and secure it using the hardware supplied. Make sure that the square pin on the interior of the latch is pointing towards the latching mechanism inside the handle and that it lines up with the other screw chambers in the door handle. Then, push the outside latch plate on and secure it with the screws provided.

Strike Plate

One of the most frequent reasons to replace the door handle is because it is loose or doesn't lock properly. This is typically caused by malfunctioning parts of the latching mechanism, such as a striking plate that's either too small or has moved up or downward on the doorjamb over time. This project allows you to replace your old strikeplate with a longer one, which can provide better security for your door and ensure it stays closed.

To check if the problem is due to the strike plate, apply lipstick or similar marking material on the bolt that is used to latch. Close the door and try to latch it. If the mark is below the strike plate's hole, this means that your door isn't latching because the strike plate is too small. If the mark is higher or below the strikeplate hole, the strikeplate is likely to have been moved upwards or downwards on the doorjamb.

You may be able simply to screw the new strikeplate into place over the old one by using the screws supplied with it, based on your door. It is possible that you will need to first drill holes and then chisel a bit of wood to ensure a tight fit. If this is the case, you must be cautious not to chisel too much or you may cause damage to the integrity of your doorjamb.

You could also try installing a new strike plate that will give the lock a more secure grip on the door and requires more force to open it. It usually requires two longer screws to fix the strike plate to the door frame. To do this, you'll have to take off the existing strike plate, then drill and chisel away the wood to make room for the new one.

This hard-to-find strike plate is designed to be used with antique rim locks and it's made from sturdy solid brass in an extremely thick.
