Got the Febi door handle carrier and had a friend's shop put it on as I really didnt feel like doing it myself but I wanted it done asap.

They got it on and its working well, but the gap between the handle and door lock pad is bigger than before and I will be bringing it back to the shop.

Interestingly the one I removed was a Febi also but marked "Germany", which is conspicuously missing from the new one.

Old carrier had not broken at the hinge, but is binding as it pivots. Without a new one on hand to compare it to, I cant see what exactly is wrong with it at this time.
