Once you have removed the screws that hold the handle on your door, 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, you may need to loosen them even more. Then you can remove the spindle from the door handle and replace it with your new Upvc handle. Before you screw the handle into place it is a good idea to ensure that it is in the proper place. You can do this by placing your finger in the gap between the frame of the door and the handle to ensure that it is in a level position.
Lever/Lever
Lever door handles function as a multi point lock using a Euro Cylinder and can be found on a majority of double doors made of aluminium, upvc doors and some wooden doors. They feature an inside lever and a paddle on the outside and are generally available in two types.

Non-sprung - These do not have a spring mechanism, and must be manually pulled to bring the handle lever to a horizontal position.

It's typically small, protruding ring or rectangular located on the handle base plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you can take it out using the help of a screwdriver.
Once the handle is in a horizontal position, you can put the screws back in place and tighten them to make sure the handle is secured to the base plate. It is also recommended to apply a threadlocking adhesive solution to the screw threads to improve the grip and prevent them from loosening over time.
There are a myriad of reasons that door handles for levers slide. The most frequent cause is that the fixings aren't tight, causing the lever bearing to bind against the door. It could also be that the levers may not have been operated at a right angle, which stretches the latch mechanism and stops it from fully springing into action.
A common cause of spring levers that are not functioning properly is the spring not being in the proper position on the backplate. The simplest way to check this is to operate the handle to see if it returns to its horizontal position.
It is crucial to repair any loose door handles immediately. This can cause excessive wear on the screws, and the handle may even be able to fall off the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all screws that are loose regularly, as this will help to prevent them from loosening.
