The interior chassis includes an interior trim portion, an interior handle mount rotatably attached to the interior trim portion, and an interior spindle portion rotatable with the interior handle mount. The exterior chassis includes an exterior trim portion, an exterior handle mount rotatably attached to the exterior trim portion, an exterior spindle portion rotatable with the exterior handle mount and axially aligned with the interior handle mount, and a mounting post extending toward the interior chassis from the exterior trim portion offset from the exterior spindle portion. The alignment guide is removably attached to the interior trim portion and is formed of a resilient material. The alignment guide extends toward the exterior chassis from the interior chassis and includes an aperture aligned to receive the mounting post.

A door handle assembly includes a chassis, first and second trim plates, and a latch assembly. The chassis includes an interior chassis portion and an exterior chassis portion. The interior chassis portion is configured to extend from a first side of a door and includes at least one trim engagement mechanism. The exterior chassis portion is configured to extend from a second side of a door and includes at least one trim engagement mechanism. The first trim plate is configured to removably engage the first trim engagement mechanism, optionally via a trim plate adapter. The second trim plate is configured to removably engage the second trim engagement mechanism, also optionally via a trim plate adapter. The latch assembly extends between the exterior chassis portion and the interior chassis portion. The first trim engagement mechanism and the second trim engagement mechanism are capable of removably engaging with interchangeable trim plates.

Universal chassis for door handle assemblies

The present disclosure relates to a door handle having a grip with a first end and a second end. The door handle further includes an upper mounting plate coupled to the first end of the grip and a lower mounting plate coupled to the second end of the grip. A mounting post is coupled to the lower mounting plate and is configured to move relative to the lower mounting plate. Means for adjusting the position of the mounting post with respect to the lower mounting plate facilitate movement of the mounting post along at least two axes. The means for adjusting the mounting post may further comprise a rotating arm that is pivotally connected to the lower mounting plate and to which the mounting post is attached.
