I googled the group on this but found no solution mentioned.

Basically, I am looking for the round spring in an internal brass door
handle. It's 2 /12 turns, 22mm OD and made of 2mm wire. It has short
right angle turnouts on each end.

It seems like this frustrates a lot of people as the solution offered in
shops & sheds is to buy new handles.

Has anyone found a source for these springs so I don't have to get new
handles (or worse still new handles for every door in the house so they all
match!).

Thanks

Good website, thanks. I still hope someone might come up with a source for
the actual springs but if not I might give it a go!

I too have a brass door handle to replace, but I didn't find that URL
of much use....

Assuming can find a ready made spring, but it needs a little work
rebending it to suit the handle, how do I do it?

How about an architectural salvage yard? You don't say how old your
handles are but anyway, our local one keeps them of all ages. Maybe
you could find a an old tatty but similar one to cannibalise, which
would avoid having to renew all of your handles?

I suppose they may be needed with handles, but I took a load out of brass
knobs - they made them too stiff. The internal lock spring was more than
sufficient, if you took care in lining up the knobs.

Thanks to all for the feedback. Looks like if I want door handle springs I
need to try and make them myself!

Old post I know but
Door Furniture and More have a wide range of spares for repairing handles.
