Learning how to remove a door handle is useful when replacing worn hardware, refinishing a door, correcting a loose lever, or installing a new lockset. Most handles are secured by visible screws, concealed mounting screws behind a rosette, or a small detent that releases the lever. The exact process varies, so inspect the handle before applying force.
