## Description

Thickness: 9/32"Threads Per Inch: 20Length: 4-3/4"Material: SteelDesigned For Use With Privacy Latches And Mortise Locks With Knobs On Both SidesHas A 3/8" Removable Center To Accommodate Most Locks

Review: Worked with Old Yale Mortise Lock with Slight Modification - Worked with 1929 Yale mortise lock using the included shims. The trick is to center the spindle so both door handles operate independently. Recommend screwing both sides together and then backing off one full turn. The threaded spindles are the standard size and fit my 35 year old Baldwin lever handles. One word of caution: As some have noted, the spindles are very long and may bottom out on standard handles leaving the door handle sticking out. The solution is to cut the spindle on both sides to the correct length. This is easily done with a hacksaw. Finding swivel spindles with included shims is becoming very difficult. I ordered an extra one just to have a spare.
Review: A little long - It works great but it’s too long so the door knob jiggles.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does the two ends turn independently and designed for mortise locks with day-night switch ?**
A: Yes, it does. You can accidentally lock yourself out if you're not careful!! Be wary of what the day/night latch is set on before you let the door close behind you.

**Q: I just need something clarified, is this product 3 pieces, the 2 spindle halves and the center piece that holds it all together?**
A: It is actually 4 pieces. The 2 half-spindles & 2 adaptor bushings/sleeves (one on each half-shaft) so that it will fit properly & not slide through the mortise assembly.

Recommend screwing both sides together and then backing off one full turn. The threaded spindles are the standard size and fit my 35 year old Baldwin lever handles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little long
*by J***T on May 27, 2022*

It works great but it’s too long so the door knob jiggles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Repairs old entry doors with the bigger swivel spindle
*by P***. on August 21, 2024*

My 120 year old front door spindle finally gave out. Not only are these thicker than regular spindles, but they also swivel since there is a way to set these locksets to lock so they can only be opened from the inside (the square insert they spin is actually two separate pieces). This is the only swivel spindle I could find that fit. It seems to be a regular thickness spindle with a shim on it to replicate the original thickness of the larger block of metal in the middle. This is a good thing, because it also means you can use it with modern replacement door knobs. In my case the old knobs wouldn't come off the leftover spindle pieces, so that universality was appreciated! For reference, it seems that regular spindles are about a 32nd more than 1/4" thick, so 9/32" and these older swivel spindles have a center that is a 32nd short of 3/8", so 11/32"
