6–8mm Spindle Sleeve Shims — Plastic Conversion (1–20 pack)

Why choose these 6-8mm spindle sleeves Worn or undersized spindles cause sloppy, rattling door handles. These plastic sleeve shims slip over a smaller spindle to convert it up to 8mm, restoring a snug fit inside the handle hub and removing the side-to-side play that causes the door to refuse to latch. A simple, low-cost fix that’s far cheaper than replacing the whole handle. Pack options 1 unit (sample) — confirm fit before buying multiples. Pack of 2 — repair both ends of one spindle. Pack of 4 — pair up two doors in one go. Pack of 10 / 20 — economical for property managers, landlords and trade users. Typical uses Loose lever-on-rose handles, sloppy uPVC handle followers, replacement spindles that are slightly under-spec, and old plastic-finish hubs that have worn over time. Works on interior, bedroom and bathroom doors as well as some uPVC patio handles. How to fit Slide the sleeve over the existing spindle so it sits inside the handle hub. Refit the handle, check the latch operates smoothly and tighten the grub screws on the flat of the spindle. Trim the sleeve to length with a sharp knife if it protrudes past the hub.
