hello, The return spring has failed on the latch mechanism on an Anglian supplied uPVC double glazed door. To get at the latch mechanism I have to remove the door handles and the square section rod which passes through the latch mechanism. The problem is I cannot see how the door handles are removed. The handle face plates have no screws they are plain aluminium with no penetrations. The face plates have black plastic end stops at either end. I have tried to remove these but I can only get them to move 2 or 3mm. They are very tight and it feels like if I move them further I will damage them. Has anyone got any suggestions on what I need to do to remove these handles?
Many thanks for any replies.
