All, I may be going crazy here or over thinking....need some help pls.
I am looking to replace the door handles in my front upvc door.
It is a dual spindle mechanism, where the outside handle needs to be pushed up to engage the lock, push down the handle will have no effect to the latch.
Meanwhile the inside handle can unlatch door by pushing down, and engage the lock by pushing up.
The outside handle controls the top spindle, and the inside handle controls the bottom spindle.
But the problem is, all dual spindle door handles online appears to be the opposite - the outside handle controls the bottom spindle and vice versa.
Is there something wrong with my current handles and locking mechanism or i am just not looking at the same thing??!?!

Any manufacturer details on door? Looks on top and around all edges.

Not a type I'm aware of. Sounds like a special mechanism.
 
The lock says Zenith, and I looked up, it was made by Cego, old lock. That's probably the reason why, but am surprise it is so difficult to find a replacement

Thanks for the tip
 

think these are what you are looking for possibly

what a bummer £52 vs the 'standard' from Toolstation <£30 with different styles and colours to choose from.

Thank you all
