Door handles
As part of the re-varnish of our interior, we have taken the doors of to be stripped and re-varnished (I've had enough of varnishing for now!)

Problem is, I cant seem to get the door handles off! One side of the handles has two screws through the base plate, which I have taken off. And on one door I have been able to pull the handle off that side of the door; but the handle on the other side seems to be stuck fast.

The other door, both handles are stuck fast!

Does anybody have similar door handles (I will upload an image later as there is some issue with image at the moment); and am I missing something obvious here? I don't want to force anything as I will either damage the door veneer and or the handle!

Thoughts appreciated
Adrian

Problem solved.

I missed "the obvious" i.e. 36 years of corrosion!
