Replacing UPVC door handle

[House7000]

So the door handle to my back upvc door is dropping, it all still functions but doesn't sit correctly. Few questions:

1. Should replacing the handle fix this problem?
2. How easy is it to do? Watched a few videos online but just wary of taking my handle apart and not been able to put the new one on.
3. Any hints / tips?

Cheers

You probably only need new springs. Something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replaceme...arden_Door_Accessories_LE&hash=item4ac494977e

Take out the 2 screws to remove the handles then search door handle springs on ebay for a close match, Nice easy job.

This is good to know, but the handle is looking a bit tired so will be looking to update it anyway. Is the removal of the handle to change (even if just doing the spring) as simple as unscrew and replace?

Yes they are very easy to take off and put on (just the 2 screws) but ordering the correct new handle requires some very accurate measurements
