anyone know what type of door handle this is and how to remove ?
info :
old full-size cupboard door
handles on both sides (can't remove either)
it's not :
1 the modern grub screw spindle type
2. the normal 'spindle falls out' type
seems to be a sprung type. maybe held in place by a lock slot thing ?

The handles may have a screw thread on it and so the other one unscrews from the other . Try lifting one handle and dropping the other and see if they unscrew from each other.0

i think you are right.
no luck yet, but it's a good bet.
never known a handle like this.0 -
does this mean i won't be able to fit a 'normal' type of spindle handle ?0

If you look carefully, it looks as if there is a 'key' of some sort at the part of the handle nearest the door. The thin bit that's a different colour on the edge. That might pry out, lift, or move somehow.
Haven't seen that type though.0 -
at the moment i have both handles spinning round fully in unison.
yes there does seem to be some sort of catch on that side.
atm im trying to unscrew what looks like a bolt on that side but cant find a spanner to fit the tight space.
the other side has the face plate connection still connected (but unscrewed from wood)
but i cant seem to detach it although it spins round with the handle.0 -
Is that not a circlip between the handle and the door?0

If all else fails the spindle can be hacksawed through.0

thanks everyone.
i think it is a circlip.
not sure if it keeps the 'decorative handle' on, or keeps the nut in place.
probably the saw will be used.
