Door Lock Spindle 9/32" Square

This two-piece sectional spindle measures 9/32" square by 3-1/2" long with 3/8"-20 threads per inch. It is made of steel with a satin chrome finish. The part replaces worn spindles on vintage door knob sets from brands including Corbin Russwin, Yale, and Baldwin. It suits restorers and maintenance teams fitting period hardware.

Two Piece Sectional Capacity

The 3-1/2" length spans standard door thicknesses found in older residential and commercial openings. The 9/32" square section fits matching knob broaches without play. Steel construction resists twisting force from daily operation. It will not suit modern tubular latchsets that require a solid spindle or a different square dimension.

3/8"-20 Thread Limit

The 3/8"-20 thread pitch matches the listed vintage knob threads exactly. Knobs with a different thread count or diameter will not engage. The sectional design allows the two halves to meet inside the latch hub. Locksets using a through-bolt or set-screw retention method cannot use this spindle.

Questions about this item

Will the 9/32" square spindle fit my existing Corbin Russwin or Yale vintage knobs?

Yes, the 9/32" square by 3-1/2" long steel spindle is designed as a direct replacement for Corbin Russwin, Yale, Marks, Norwalk, National, Baldwin, Progressive and most vintage door knobs using that square size.

How can I verify the 3/8"-20 TPI threading engages correctly after installation?

Thread each section into the knob hubs; the 3/8"-20 threads should turn smoothly without binding and the two halves should meet flush in the centre when the knobs are tightened.

Does the box contain both spindle halves and any set screws, or must I source fasteners separately?

The box supplies the two-piece sectional steel spindle with satin chrome finish; set screws or other fasteners are not included and must be purchased separately if your knobs require them.
