You should also consider applying a threadlocking adhesive solution to the screw threads to increase the grip and prevent them from loosening over time.

Drooping lever handles on door handles can be caused by a number of factors. The most common cause is that the fixings are too tight and the lever bearing to pull against the door. It could also be that the levers haven't been operated at a right angle, which causes compression of the latch mechanism and prevents it from fully springing into action.

Another common cause is that the sprung lever isn't working properly. This is typically due to the spring not being in the proper position within the backplate. To determine if the handle returns to horizontal, simply move it.
