To fix a door handle that is sagging, you will need to find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is typically a small round or rectangle shape hole or protruding pin situated on one side of the base plate. Once you have located the hole for accessing the detent or pin, you can remove it using an screwdriver. Once the handle is placed horizontally, you can put back the screws. Make sure to tighten them so that the handle remains firmly fixed to the base plate. You should also consider applying an adhesive that locks the screw threads to improve the grip and stop them from loosening over time. Drooping lever handles on door handles can be caused by various causes. The most frequent reason is that the fixings are over tightened, and are putting pressure on the lever bearing which causes it to become a bind on the door's face. It could also be that the levers aren't operated in a straight line and this is causing compression of the latch mechanism and preventing it from fully springing back into operation. Another common cause is that the lever that is sprung is not operating correctly and this is typically due to the spring not being in the correct position within the backplate. The easiest way to test this is to turn the handle to check whether it returns to the horizontal position. It is important to fix any door handles that are loose as soon as possible. This could cause excessive wear on the screws, and the handle could be able to fall off the base plate. It is also a good idea to tighten all loose screws regularly in order to stop them from loosening.
