Spindle Thickness Converter Sleeves

These spindle converter sleeves are a simple but effective and extremely handy solution to using locks, handles and other door hardware which accept different spindle sizes. If you have a 5mm spindle or a 7mm spindle and your handles require an 8mm spindle, well then stick one of these on and job done! This could save you a lot of money by avoiding the need to replace perfectly good hardware for the sake of matching spindle sizes

These spindle converter sleeves are available to convert a 5mm spindle to 8mm, and to convert a 7mm spindle to 8mm.

Can I use 8mm spindle handles on a 5mm or 7mm spindle lock?
Yes you can! Simply put the existing spindle through the door as you would normally, and then pop one of these spindle sleeves over the end of the spindle on each side of the door to allow your handles to receive and operate the spindle correctly.

Can I use 5mm or 7mm spindle handles on an 8mm spindle lock?
Yes you can! Simply slide a few of these spindle converter sleeves onto your existing 5mm or 7mm spindle, leaving enough space at each end of the spindle for your handles to sit onto, and pop the spindle through the door as you would normally. The spindle will then sit nicely into the lock due to the thicker mid-section with the sleeves on, and the handles will still fit into the ends of the spindle which have no sleeve coverage.

Simple! :-)
