Re: Door handles droop, 37, 120

Dear rsvs:

Door handles usually droop due to wear in the mechanism.

You have two easy options:

a) build up the square on the handle and regrind it in non-drooping position

b) very carefully heat the shaft with a torch and give it a twist. Note: too much heat will melt the pot metal.

I won't go into the hard options like disassembling the mechanisms and building up the worn parts.

Hope this helps
