Garage door handles - inside knob

[willshak]

I have two garage doors in my garage, one has a garage door opener and the other is hand operated. The hand operated inside knob broke and, being of white metal casting, could not be repaired. I took the inside knob off the auto operated door, since it was not being used, and put that one on the hand operated door. That didn't last long and broke as well. I Googled for repair parts for garage doors and all I could find were the outside (locking) knob parts. Right now the locking mechanism for the hand operated door is secured with a small visegrip. Anyone has a source for inside handles??

Have you tried a local place that sells/repairs them like Overhead Door?

Other possibilities maybe an Ace hardware, Borg, building supply?

Seems like there's quite a few garage door repair companies near Hamptonburgh:

I broke mine 3 times in about 5 years and replaced the handle with a piece of web belt I got from the military surplus store. I fastened it on with a carriage bolt and fender washer. This was about 15 years ago and its still there.

I had this problem with my own garage door; I don't recall where I got the parts from but I ended up having to drill the shaft for a hitch pin, I do remember that. Stuff that ought to be a bolt on sometimes isn't...

I did have to do a lot of searching to find the parts I needed (the two rods and rotating cam assembly that go inside the door) none of my local stores had them.

One of my doors is Wayne Dalton (OP doesn't mention brand)

The inside handle is very close to this pic.

Get one of these:

They usually come with this whole motor and track thingy attached, but they can be use to manually open and close the door. :-)

Hmm, If you keep breaking handle, your door may need a tune up. It should roll up/down with one hand push/pull. You can get replacement prts for sure at garage door shop or even at HD.

I have one of those. It is on the overhead garage door with the electric opener and is used to bypass the motorized opener in case of a power failure. Picture this: A garage door that has a handle and opens and closes by turning a handle and lifting or pulling down on the door. No electricity is needed. Now the inside handle has broken, which is essential to locking the door, so it can't lock the door on the inside, and the outside keyed handle, which relies on the inside handle, no longer locks the door.
