you may need to have your door handles replaced  needs to be looked at  could be a fault on your lock

Leon · Answer

Sounds more a lock problem than a handle problem… could start with the handle first and see

James · Answer

It could be you have a gear box with a split spindle . The outside spindle may be faulty. I would need to see to be sure .

Paul · Answer

It sounds like it could be the mechanism. I could have a look at no cost and advise you

Stevie · Answer

It sounds like u may need a new pair of handles  there probably worn

Paul · Answer

Either the handles are not spring loaded putting them back into position, or your mechanism gearbox is worn (common issue with loose handles)

Handles need to be tighten as the spindle is not been properly lifted up to engage the locking mechanism.

Jason · Answer

Hi, I am assuming your door has a multi point lock that requires you to lift the handle to lock the door. If this is the case then it it highly likely your locking mechanism has a broken component inside. Best thing is to remove the lock and have a look, identify the locking mechanism at the same time.
Good luck

Ebrahim · Answer

If the handle on the outside is a pad then they are an oval shape and are shorter in length so you have less leverage when lifting the handle up. It may be possible to change the handles to lever outside rather then pad.
