Does anyone know how to remove this type of door handle (Arrone)? I've
removed the grub screws on both sides, and was expecting the handle to just
slide off the square shaft, but after an hour trying, I've given up! Any
advice greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mark

Presumably its just tight on the shaft.

Undo the screws holding the plate to the door. The grub screws are
merely to stop the bar moving out of contact with the handles.

The screws are concealed under the circular plate at the base of the
handle. You just twist it off to reveal the screws underneath.

As Tim+ said try unscrewing the round cover plate, on cheaper types the plate may just be sprung on so if it will not unscrew look for a small notch in the edge of the plate usually at the bottom and use a straight bladed screwdriver to prise it off.

So you don't know. Why can't you just say so, Mr Know-it-all?

Thanks Alan,

Tried that, but no luck I'm afraid. You'll see in that video, the handles
slides easily off the center, square shaft. This is the problem I have, the
handle is super tight on the shaft, and won't slide off. Might need a bigger
hammer!

no luck there. The shaft runs through the center and both handles are super

From the second photo with the cover off the door plate with screws,
it looks like you might well be able to tap a flat bladed screwdriver
into the gap between the end of the round part of the handle with
the grub screw hole in it and get some leverage involved to get the
handle to move on the square shaft it slides on. Do that in a number
of places around the round part of the handle. That might well even
break the glue if some fool has glued the handle on.

Have you tried taking the handle off on the other side?

You indicate that maybe you cannot get the screws out

But the youtube video suggest that the handle still has to slide
off the square section that slides into it to get the handle off.
Hard to see what else the grub screw is there for except to
hold the handle on the square section it slides onto.
