After you have removed the screws that hold the door handle you have, it is an ideal idea to loosen them and inspect the mechanism to determine the condition it is in. If the screws are too tight then you might need to loosen them more. Then, you can remove the spindle from the handle and replace it with your new Upvc handle. Before screwing the handle into the frame, it is recommended to check that it is in the correct place. You can do this by putting your finger into the space between the door frame and the door handle to ensure that it is level.

Sprung – These come with a spring cassette inside the backplate to move the handle lever to an upright position. Non-sprung: These do NOT have a mechanism to spring the handle lever to a horizontal position. To fix a door handle lever that is sagging it is necessary to locate the hole or detent access pin. It's usually a small hole or protruding ring, or rectangle, that is located on the base of the handle plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you are able to take it out using a screwdriver. When the handle is in a horizontal position, you can put the screws back in place and tighten them until the handle stays fixed to the base plate. It is also recommended to apply a threadlocking adhesive to the screw threads to improve the grip and stop them from becoming loose over time. Drooping window handles could be the result of various causes. The most frequent reason is that the fixings have been too tightened and are putting strain on the bearings of the lever, which causes it to become a bind on the door face. It could also be that the levers aren't operated at a straight angle and this is compressing the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing back into operation. A common cause of a spring lever not operating properly is that the spring is not being in the right position on the backplate. To determine whether the handle has returned to horizontal, simply move it. If the door handles aren't tight, it is crucial to find the issue quickly, since it could cause excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off of the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten any loose screws regularly to stop them from becoming looser.
