Lever door handles that droop can be caused by various causes. The most frequent cause is that the fixings aren't tight which causes the lever bearing to pull against the door. It could also be that the levers have not been operated at a right angle, which compresses the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing into action. The most common reason for spring levers that are not functioning properly is that the spring is not being in the proper position on the backplate. The simplest way to check this is to operate the handle and see whether it changes to the horizontal position. It is essential to repair any door handles that are damaged immediately. This could lead to excessive wear on the screws and the handle could fall off the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten any loose screws regularly to stop them from becoming looser.
