Screw sleeves

When I try to remove the screws that hold the handle on the door, they keep spinning. The sleeve on the outside is turning too. How can I get those screws out so I can replace the handles.

Hello,

I'm going to have one of our senior experts take a look and see what the best option would be to remove your installation screws. We'll reach out as soon as more information is available.

This is a tough position to be in. I would recommend trying to hold the nut from the outside as you turn the screw if they are too stripped to remove otherwise. Once you can remove them, you can replace the handle set with either our keyed 82-086 or non-keyed 82-089 handle sets. I hope this helps!
