Side Arm length = 4mm

The additional photographs show the spring being fitted to a Rothley Brass RB/G 101 door handle.  The spring is positioned below the cam washer and the only part usually visible is the top arm as it pokes through the small hole in the cam washer (see photograph).  However, if your spring is broken you may just see an empty hole here.

The springs in this listing are suitable for Rothley Brass models RB/G 100, RB/G 101, RB/G 200, RB/G 201 (These codes are stamped on the inside of the handle plate.  Sometimes the 'G' can look like a '6').  However, the springs do suit other makes as well.  Please note it may be necessary to shorten one of the spring arms to prevent it protruding through the front of the handle plate.

We offer a very similar spring made from 1.4mm wire which is also suitable for certain Rothley Brass handles, eg. the Rothley Brass G102/30.  There's a picture of this handle in the listing for the 1.4mm spring.

If you don't have a micrometer the additional photographs may help you assess the wire gauge of your broken spring by comparing the coil with a stack of 1p pieces.

1. Place spring in chamber, making sure the bottom arm is located in the hole in the bottom of the chamber.
2. Raise the handle to vertical.
3. Place the cam washer over the handle shaft, making sure the top arm of the spring locates into the hole in the cam washer.  At this point the cam washer will not be seated properly.
4. Lower the handle down to horizontal, winding up the spring.  You should feel the tension as you lower the handle.
5. Once the handle reaches the horizontal position, the cam washer should drop down so the tab on the cam washer is between the two stops that define the handle's range of movement.
6. The tab of the cam washer should be at one end of the range of movement when the handle is horizontal.
7. When the handle is pressed down from horizontal (normal operation) the tab of the cam washer will move to the other end of its permitted range of movement.  This stops the handle being pressed down any further.
