ISO: door handle rebuild

[G50911]

i’m looking to have my door handles rechromed and rebuilt. can anyone recommend who can do this? i could just tear down and re-chrome but not sure what to do about the center piece that’s chrome. anyone have this done?

The handles I sent to Christensen in LA.

The center pieces were nice as is.

Btw the cylinder with key was just for reference. I played with the thought of rekeying that one for the original key.

Christensen plating in Vernon, CA

Jose (Luis) de la torre.

He had a medical issue on my latest order (which took longer than normal), you might ask first if it’s over in case you are in a hurry

hi richard. any tips on disassembling the push button and spring housing? i can get the "c' clip off but can figure out how to remove it so i can send down the handles.

Use lubricant (like a penetrating oil) and push (work) it out. Inside the handle is a seal to which the spring housing sticks. Kind of similar to remove the push button from the spring house. It sticks due to old grease and a small nylon seal.

sorry i'm not exactly following (monday fog ). here's where i'm stuck.... i was able to remove the large "c" clip and also the tumbler. but the push button housing and the spring is what i don't know how to remove. that other metal ring-like item just left of the c-clip in your image is what i can't figure out how to remove.

It’s just pushed on. Carefully pry it off.
