After you have removed the screws that hold your existing door handle it is a good idea to loosen them, and then inspect the mechanism to see how it's performing.

Lever/Lever
Lever door handles operate a multi point lock using a Euro cylinder and can be found on most double doors made of aluminium, upvc doors and some wooden doors. They have an inside lever and a paddle on the outside and are generally available in two types.

Non-sprung - these do not include a spring mechanism and must be manually pulled to raise the handle lever to the horizontal position.
To fix the door handle lever that is sliding, you'll need to find the detent access pin or hole. It's typically a small hole or protruding ring or rectangular located on the handle base plate. Once you have located the detent access hole or pin, you are able to take it out using a screwdriver.
Once the handle has been set horizontally, it is possible to put back the screws. Make sure to tighten them so that the handle is securely attached to the base plate. You may want to apply a threadlocking solution to the screw threads in order to increase grip and stop them from loosing over time.
Lever door handles that droop could be the result of many factors. The most frequent reason is that the fixings have been over tightened, and are putting pressure on the bearings of the lever, causing it to bind against the door face. It could also be due to the fact that the levers aren't being operated at a straight angle and this is causing compression of the latch mechanism and preventing it from fully springing back into operation.
The most common reason for a spring lever not operating correctly is the spring not being in the correct position on the backplate. To determine whether the handle has returned to horizontal, simply operate it.
It is crucial to fix any door handles that are damaged as soon as you can. This could lead to 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 screws that are loose regularly in order to stop them from loosening.
