You can do this by putting your finger into the gap between the door frame and the door handle to make sure it is in a level position.
Lever/Lever
Lever door handles function as with a multi-point lock that utilizes an Euro cylinder and are found on the majority of upvc double doors, aluminium doors, and some wooden doors. They are available in two varieties, with a lever on the interior and a paddle outside. Sprung - they come with a spring cassette inside the backplate to bring the handle lever to a horizontal position. Non-sprung: They do not have a mechanism for bringing the handle lever into a horizontal position.
To fix a sagging lever door handle you must find the hole for access to the detent or pin, which is typically an elongated or rectangular with a protruding hole that is located on the opposite side of the handle base plate. Once located you can loosen the set screw using a screwdriver and remove it to release the lever and return it to its horizontal position.
Once the handle is in a horizontal position, you can re-install the screws and tighten them so that the handle is secure on the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the screw threads in order to increase grip and prevent them from loosening over time.
Drooping lever handles on door handles can be caused by various causes. The most common cause is that the fixings have been 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 are not being operated in a straight line and this is causing the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing back into action.
Another common reason is that the sprung lever isn't operating correctly and this is typically due to the spring not being in the proper position within the backplate. To determine whether the handle has returned to horizontal, simply operate it.
It is crucial to repair any door handles that are loose as soon as possible. This can cause excessive wear on the screws, and the handle may even be able to fall off the base plate. It is also recommended to tighten any loose screws on a regular basis to prevent them from becoming looser.
