Lever/Lever The lever handles on doors are used to operate a multi-point lock using a Euro cylinder. They can be located on many double upvc doors as well as some wooden and aluminum doors. They come in two types, with an interior lever and a paddle outside. Sprung – These have a spring cassette inside the backplate, which helps to bring the handle lever into an upright position. Non-sprung: They do not include a mechanism that can spring the handle lever into a horizontal position. To repair a door handle lever that is sagging, you'll need to find the detent access pin or hole. This is usually a small hole or protruding ring or rectangle located on the handle base plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you can remove it with the help of a screwdriver. Once the handle is in a horizontal position, you can re-install the screws and tighten them so that the handle remains fixed to the base plate. You should also consider applying a threadlocking adhesive to the screw threads to improve the grip and stop them from loosening over time. There are a myriad of reasons why door handles of levers drop. The most frequent cause is that the fixings are too tight, causing the lever bearing to bind up against the door. It could also be because the levers are not being operated in a straight line and this is causing compression of the latch mechanism preventing it from fully springing back into service. Another common reason is that the lever that is sprung is not operating correctly and this is usually due to the sprung not being in the proper position within the backplate. To determine whether the handle has returned to its horizontal position, simply turn it. If your door handles are loose, it is important to identify the problem quickly, as this could lead to excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all screws that are loose regularly in order to prevent them from loosening.
