If it isn't working and you can get the old one off, I'd replace it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carl To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2010 6:15 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] ergent help neded i can get the handle off i hav looked to see if thair is any rounding of the corners on the shaft. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Kennedy To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2010 11:05 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] ergent help neded Are you able to get to the screws that hold the handle in place? That would be the easiest way. Beyond that, you will need to play around and cause the latch to retract enough to let the door open. Popping the latch can be a problem depending on your skill level. I have used old credit cards and butter knives before. I have some thin sheet metal that works well because it has some spring to it. As a last resort you can always knock out the hinge pins and lift the door out of the jam. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carl To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2010 5:46 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] ergent help neded i hav a holo cor dor or one of thes egg box cor dors and the dor handle mechanism is not working i'v chequede that thair is no rounding on the corners of the rod that coneckts boath sides of the dors handles to the latch and that's not the problem. how can i get the dor open to remove the latch and replace iit?
