Remove Arrone door handle

Undo the screws holding the plate to the door. The grub screws are merely to stop the bar moving out of contact with the handles.

Angle grinder?

Bash it with a hammer.

The screws are concealed under the circular plate at the base of the handle. You just twist it off to reveal the screws underneath.

As Tim+ said try unscrewing the round cover plate, on cheaper types the plate may just be sprung on so if it will not unscrew look for a small notch in the edge of the plate usually at the bottom and use a straight bladed screwdriver to prise it off.

Tried that, but no luck I'm afraid. You'll see in that video, the handles slides easily off the center, square shaft. This is the problem I have, the handle is super tight on the shaft, and won't slide off. Might need a bigger hammer!

replying to Tim+, Mark Manning wrote: Cheers Tim. Had already tried loosing the screws that hold the bsckplate on - no luck there. The shaft runs through the center and both handles are super tight on the shaft, so the backplates can only move so far...I do wonder if someone glued them on?!

replying to Richard, Mark Manning wrote: Thanks Richard. Tried that, but the handles prevent the backplates from being removed, and the handle is super tight on the shaft, so the challenge is how to get the actual handle off the square shaft.

Have you tried taking the handle off on the other side?

You indicate that maybe you cannot get the screws out

Cranked screwdriver

Or ratchet drive
