Fitting of new door handles on 2 interior doors
The spring in the tubular latches have gone in 2 of my door handles. I have purchased nice new handles but unsure of what size replacement latches to get and have zero DIY skills.

"Hi, you just need to take the old one out, or measure from edge of door to centre of spindle hole. Which can be seen once the handle is removed. Standard sizes are 44 or 56 mm from edge of door to centre of spindle hole."

"You should measure your latch size from the edge of the door to the centre of the door handle spindle, hope this helps.
