Professional door handle fitting - new handles installed with proper alignment. Spindle positioned correctly, grub screws tightened, handles work smoothly every time.
### Small Job, Big Difference
Door handles seem simple - **but a wobbly handle, one that sticks, or handles that don't line up are surprisingly annoying**. Proper fitting means solid, smooth operation that lasts.
> 🚪 **Details matter.** Handles that are slightly off make the door feel cheap. Fitted right, even budget handles work well.

Good to Know
> 🔧 **Spindle length matters** - if your spindle is too long for the door, the handles will wobble even when tight. Cut it down so there's 1-2mm clearance inside each handle rose. **Buying handles:** - Measure current backset (usually 57mm) - Check spindle included or separate - Consider rose vs backplate style - Match finish to other door furniture **Multiple doors:** - Makes sense to do whole house at once - Consistent style throughout - Better value for call-out
Frequently Asked Questions about Door handle fitting in Teignmouth
Can I upgrade from knobs to lever handles?
Usually yes. The spindle hole is the same. You may need to drill new screw holes and fill old ones. Lever handles are easier to use, especially with hands full.
My handles keep coming loose - is that normal?
No. Loose handles usually mean the grub screws aren't tightened properly, or the spindle is worn. Proper fitting with the right torque keeps them solid.
Do I need to buy the handles first?
Yes - bring your own handles and I'll fit them. Or tell me what style you want and I can source them. Either way, having the handles on the day saves time.
Can you fit handles to new doors?
Yes. New doors often need handle holes drilling. This is included in door hanging but can be done separately if you've hung the door yourself.
