Sizing grub screws for door handles
Whilst it will be fairly easy to measure the length and point required it is not so easy to determine the thread size and type required, especially if the original grub screw has been lost. You may be able to locate another grub screw on the handle assembly which is likely to be the same size as the lost one. This could be measured or checked with a nut of a known size to confirm the thread size. You could alternatively make an estimate of the thread size and order a few different sizes close to your estimate.

Grub screws come in a wide range of sizes to accommodate various applications and requirements. The size of a grub screw is usually defined by its diameter and length, which can vary significantly depending on its intended use. Common diameters start as small as 1mm or even less for precision applications, and can go up to 10mm or more for heavier-duty purposes. The length of grub screws can also vary, ranging from just a few millimetres to several centimetres.
