Kitchen Door Handle - Repair Loose or Sticking Handle

In this video on Work Play Have Fun, I show how to diagnose and fix a worn kitchen door handle — and if needed, replace the mortise latch too — in around 20 minutes. The “Work Smart” rule for this job is simple: diagnose before you buy. I run through the three most common causes (loose screws, a failed handle spring, or a worn/sticking latch), then strip the handle down, show what actually failed inside, and fit a replacement handle and latch. I also cover the key latch measurements (backset and case size) and share a real-world hiccup: everything looked finished… until the spindle angle caused binding, so we corrected the hole alignment and re-fitted properly. 🛠 What’s covered in this video: • Quick diagnosis: screws vs spring vs latch • Removing the handle (and keeping mess under control) • Checking the latch + how to measure backset & case size • Fitting new handles and a new mortise latch • Troubleshooting sticking handles (spindle alignment fix) ⚠️ Safety note: DIY involves sharp tools and drilling. Take your time, keep fingers clear, and if you’re unsure, get help from someone experienced. 🌐 Links: • Website: https://www.workplayhavefun.com 💬 Question: Have you had a door handle that “flops” or sticks — was it the handle spring, the latch, or just loose screws? #workplayhavefun 📌 Chapters: 00:00 If your door handle does this, you’re ~20 minutes from fixing it 00:24 Welcome + what we’re doing (replace worn kitchen door handle) 00:41 Work Smart rule: diagnose before you buy 00:47 3 common causes: loose screws, broken spring, worn/sticking latch 01:00 Quick check #1: handle returns = likely loose screws 01:12 Quick check #2: handle flops = likely broken spring 01:20 Quick check #3: latch action gritty/sticking = likely latch replacement 01:37 Prep tips: protect the floor + stop the door wobbling 02:10 Remove the handle (hello dirt) 02:43 Inspecting the old handles (good spring vs failed spring) 03:17 What’s worn + why one broken handle affects the other side 04:15 New parts overview (new handle set + spindle + screws) 04:30 Remove and inspect the old mortise latch (play in mechanism) 05:15 Clean-up + why gloves help 05:39 How to measure a mortise latch (backset & case size) 07:06 Compare old vs new latch (why worn ones cause droop) 07:31 Fit the new latch + install spindle/handles 07:54 Let the plate “find position” before final screw 08:13 First finish check (handles + door) 08:30 Plot twist: handles start sticking (what went wrong) 08:41 Root cause: spindle hole angle/binding explanation 09:23 Fix: open up the hole for clearance (13mm drill) 10:14 Re-align spindle perfectly horizontal 10:19 Mark centre line + drill pilot/clearance holes 11:08 Two-part screws + tighten from both sides 11:27 Final check: solid handle, smooth latch 11:49 Tip: take a photo before dismantling 12:04 Wrap + thanks
