MikeC5 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I hope someone can help with this. I was trying to remove the door hadles to begin prepping the doors for priming and ran into this (see pic). I used a plastic face hammer to tap the handle out of the mechanism and... crack. It won't come out any further and I'm afraid to hit it any harder. Also, is the escutcheon supposed to rotate when you turn the handle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwollam Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 You need to unscrew the escutcheon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platt-deutsch Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Can it be that you have to press the spring latch in when removing the handle shaft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 I tried but it didn't cooperate. It appears the stub of the door handle is frozen in the escutcheon. Maybe a little heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 I did finally get the escutcheon unscrewed and the door handle off. Now another door question: I'd like to remove these sockets (for side curtains, I believe) from the tops of the doors. Does anyone know if the tabs are welded? They don't want to move but it's hard to tell what is holding them to the oval ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
