Got a kitchen fire door quite solid, got a couple of handles like these ones and a latch been working fine except its not now:(
Managed to open by turning the handles up and down to get the sod unlocked but there is a single hex head grub screw in each handle, took the screw out on both sides handles wont come off the door shaft that goes from one side of the door to the other no other visible fixings anyone know how its done other than with an Angle grinder?.
Cheers..
hub puller?
you have to use a thin bladed screwdriver to lever off the rectangular plate. There will be a fixing plate under that that will have screws into the door......

+1. The cover plate will lever off with a thin blade under the edge. You?ll find the fixing screws underneath.

And quite likely through bolts from one side to the other

Semtex?
Err Nope! Usual DIY tool as used on this site a lot Angle Grinder!...
Indeed. For that you want newsgroup ie.d-i-y.
The first comment on that site talks about a plastic washer and an undersized hole. Maybe the washer on the handle is getting trapped behind the cover?
