How do you fix door handles that come with a flange that prevents you screwing them on the door?

Mine come with a two part surround. The front, decorative part
screws into a thread on the rear part, which is itself punched
with holes to allow it to be screwed to the door.

IOW they don't come with a flange that prevents you screwing them on the door?
Interesting.

This is weatherlawyer we're talking about. It'll be everybody's
fault but his for us failing to understand his problem.


I think what WL is saying is that his are not like that, and he has
found no way to undcrew the cover so his DO come...with a flange...that
prevents them being screwed to a door.


Which is nonsense, because how else would they be affixed?

The circular door handle is attached to the decorative flange
with a circlip (so it's free to rotate to operate the door
catch). Once the decorative part has been screwed onto the
rear part it holds the door handle in place and hides the
fixing screws.

Superglue?

Are they the sort that fit to the spindle with grub screws?

Drill the flange yourself?
