  • Door handle mount
    Patent number: 4569547
    Abstract: A door handle mount for a door having a rotatable spindle for operating a latch includes a lever handle cantilevered on the spindle and a trim plate having a spring resiliently biasing the spindle to seek a home position. The home position sought by the trim plate spring may be changed by relocating a movable stop. The user selectively biases the home position of the spindle to accommodate the cantilevered weight of the lever handle, to alter the bias from one direction to the other, or to temporarily cancel the bias during installation of the latch mechanism and trim.
