Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your tap handle.

Your tap handle could possibly have two types of locking mechanism. First is the hidden locking brass ring behind the handle. If you can look behind your tap handle, you'll see a ring with two slots. These slots are meant to take in a special tool from the Kinetic Spout And Handle Repair Kit. It's a flat blade with two prongs that fit into the slot allowing you to turn the locking ring.

The second lock could be a grub screw hidden under the tap handle. Inspect the handle very well to see if there are any signs of other fixing mechanisms.

I've placed a sample sketch below to give you an idea of the location of the brass locking ring.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
