Re: how to fix loose Gainsborough door knobs

Hello @ruwantha 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us.

 

Unless you are aware of the door handles model name or number of the door handle itself. It will be very difficult to track down the spare part of your door knob. Another issue that might hold you back is that the door handle threads might be the one that has worn out and not the door plate you currently have on the photo. You could try the nail polish suggestion recommended earlier, but I'm not sure how long that type of repair will last. I therefore recommend changing your door knob for a new set.

 

I also recommend having a look at the stores Door Lock Installation Service to save you time in having to look for a trades person.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Gainsborough door knobs and door lock (door lock issue, thread gone)

the Gainsborough door knobs are in good condition. 

But on one side the inner thread on below  shows attachment seems faded away, so knob cannot be attached.

 

Since both door knobs are in good condition, can I buy only one side of below item or complete inner door part? 

 

I could not find it in bunnings online.

Re: Gainsborough door knobs and door lock (door lock issue, thread gone)

Hello @ruwantha 

 

In regards to your question, I believe Gainsborough does not sell half a door knob set. This is why you can't find it on the website. There is a dummy knob called the Ikonic White Heritage Door Knob With Brass Rosette, but is not compatible with the Gainsborough set as it meant for blank fixings only

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
