door handle springs

[vernerbongo2]

I need a few replacement springs for door handles, I don't want new handles as the ones I have are good quality and it would be a real waste.
I have seen 1 web site 94p each trouble is postage is £7.80 stupid or what
any ideas

They’re the ones! Sorry didn’t check your location; postage is a bit more manageable here but I think £6.64 is still a rip off. I managed to effect a repair by fitting a spring from one of the old handles I took off 18 months ago (that’s how long the new ones lasted!) but it’s not really strong enough. Had a quick Google but nothing immediately obvious came up; will have a more detailed trawl later today & post back if I find anything more reasonable.

I had a similar problem a few months back and I took the handle to my local (independent) locksmith and he found me a spring in a "bits" box, FOC . Good man !

The flat coiled spring shown appears to be just what I want. Now how do I get them?

Post is now 18 months old but this should do you http://www.thehandleshop.co.uk/shop/9/74/index.htm

I now have new doors & decent handles fitted now so slightly irrelevant for me now!

I just got a pack of 6 for £5.95 on Amazon with free P&P - There seems to be different types available from different sellers, but they're all of the curly flat type shown in the posts above. Some seem to have two turns and some two and a half turns. Some are also thicker than others. It was a lot cheaper than replacing the handles - and a lot easier (the screw holes in the plates never seem to be in exactly the same place!)
