Hello @Murphy202 any chance of a photo of the other side of the handle (on the other side of the door) as I'm struggling to see how it is fastened...

Re: How to remove internal door handles?

Hello @Murphy202 thank you for the matching picture, is there a small hole on the lever handle either a set screw (Allen key) or an opening for a spring release of the handle?   Some handles can be removed this way so as to permit the rosette (cover piece) to be taken off exposing the hidden screws, this design (if no openings can be found) may require you to remove the rosette over then handle, it will be an interference fit so a little leverage could be required, if so lever against a piece of scrap wood to protect the door surface.

Hi @Murphy202,

 

Can you remove the cover plate as you did with the other side of the door? There are quite possibly similar screws within it that also need to be undone.
