Finding outside lever handle to fit replacement latch

Hello Swisco Team,

I recently purchased a replacement latch. It fits perfectly with the existing screw holes to put in place on the issue of the door. However the new latch is not able to revive the shaft from my existing outside lever handle. I have attached a picture of the old broken latch (left) and the new replacement latch (right). Do you sell a replacement outside lever handle in gold / brass or white that is compatible with the lever I recently purchased from you? Or, is there a way to modify the one I bought to work with the existing outside lever handle?

Thanks,

BrettĀ

Hi there Brett.

Thank you for reaching out to us. I see you purchased the 40-150. This has an insert that can be removed to accommodate 5/16" spindles. Have you removed that yet? If not, I recommend doing that first. You can use a 3/32 Allen wrench to loosen the bolt on the side of the handle and the spindle insert will fall out.
