Try spraying it with some spray penetrant, it might help to loosen it

Great video matey! I have identical doors and tried to fit new handles as the existing ones looked really naff. Only problem is, the screws don't get any purchase on the door, as the previous handles' screws have made the holes too big. Any tips for securing the new handles? Cheers!

Thanks. You can get screws for fixing handles that comprise of one male screw and one female screw, so you drill right through and then screw the male into the female. These should work in your situation.

@londonbeef Yep, bolt-through fixings for hollow doors. Sometimes they come with handles, but for some reason only 2 of them!
