Another common reason is that the sprung lever is not operating correctly and 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 if it returns to its horizontal position.

If the door handles aren't tight, it is important to identify the issue fast, as this could lead to excessive wear on the screws and possibly to the handle falling off of the base plate.
