Hi,

I have a upvc front door where you lift the handle up, turn the key and the door will lock.

From the inside it works fine.

From the outside if you turn the handle, it just goes round and round and doesn't do anything.

If the handle inside is turned up, I can lock the door from the outside.

Do I just need to replace the handle or is it something else? I had a look at the door and cannot see how to tighten the handle although I have not unscrewed anything yet.

Take the handle off, the spindle may have worked its way out of the handle. If so push it back in
