Non-sprung: These do NOT have a mechanism for bringing the handle lever to a horizontal angle.

The most frequent cause is that the fixings are too tight and the lever bearing to bind against the door. It could also be that the levers aren't operated in a straight line and this is compressing the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing back into operation. Another reason is that the lever that is sprung is not working properly. This is typically due to the spring not being in the right position within the backplate. The simplest way to check this is to operate the handle to check whether it changes to the horizontal position. If your door handles are loose, it is crucial to find the issue quickly, since it could cause excessive wear on the screws, and even to the handle falling off the base plate. You should also tighten any loose screws on a regular basis to prevent them from becoming looser.
