Tightening a UPVC front door handle?

Post by worm » Thu Sep 11, 2008 3:38 pm

My front door handle has become very loose now, most probably due to its age and use!

I thought I could just leave it until the other day when I went to leave the house and 'pull the lever' up to engage the mortice locks' as I left the house. But when I tried to get back in, because the handle has become so loose it did not engage the locks properly and even when unlocked I could not get into my house!!!! arrrrhhhhh

After a few calm minutes and gently trying it over and over I made it back into the house! phew!

I don't want to leave this until I am totally locked in/out, is there anyway of helping this without having to replace the door?

Thanks

the handle bar inside has probably worn you could replace the bar but check the inside of the handle you may need to renew aswell
