These upvc door handles are not spring-loaded. They rely on the force applied to them by the latch/multi-point lock to return their lever to their horizontal position following use. This is less effective over time, causing the handles to drop.

If you're having an issue with the handle, the spring inside the cassette is likely to wear out and needs to be replaced. You can test this by taking off the handle, then pressing the lever.

The cylinders that come with these handle sets are smaller in size and do not require the larger bulb-shaped cylinders that are normally used on older multipoint doors. These cylinders can be obtained from your local locksmith or purchased on the internet. This is an expense in addition to the new handles made of upvc and is only required if your double-glazed door has older multi-point locks. The majority of upvc handles on the market are supplied with these cylinders because they are the most popular size in use. However, it is always a good idea to keep spare cylinders in the case in case of loss or breakage. This will help you avoid the hassle and expense of having to order an entire replacement set of handles in the future. This also allows you to utilize the same cylinder for a repair to your current Upvc handles if the spring in the internal handle cassette breaks or wears out.
