Door handles suitable for 35mm door without cutting metal bar

[amateurSparky]

I have a standard setup for our bathroom door. The handle does operate the latch. However I got locked in the bathroom before. I think the issue is my dad cut th the metal bar too short.

Are there handles that are made for a 35mm door without having to cut the metal bar?

Why would cutting the square metal bar, present a problem?

If the handles are OK, why not just source a replacement square bar?

Lock spindles - or follower bars as they were once known - are readily available from Screwfix or whatever.
Often 8mm square, they are easy to cut with a hacksaw.

Your question has zero logic.Or is your dad fitting it ?

my thoughts

you have a bar that when it fully enters the handle one side it lets go off the other handle??
my solution assuming it is say 45mm too short dowel/pencil/other item 20mm long placed in each handle before fixing

this off course will only work providing around 12mm square in each handle for grip

Had an issue with my external doors where the bars had been cut slightly too short, would end up engages with one side more deeply than the other, stressing the shallow side and eventually cracking the handle casting. After discovering the problem first time I cut squares of foam (so, slightly compressible to take up any variance without having to measure every door and bar) as spacers and went round all the handles, putting a spacer on each side so the bars sat centrally rather than being more in one side than the other.

It may be possible to recycle your existing bar in the same way; same size spacer foam packed into each handle then remount, stop the bar wandering around and positions it centrally

Just buy a new spindle.
