Sliding door handle broken

Sliding door lever broken

We also often encounter a break in the system. Consequences are, for example, that the sliding door handle is stuck or that the handle no longer goes down or up. The lever of the sliding door is then broken. The only solution to this wear and tear is to replace the existing sliding door fittings. There are problems with sliding door handles that you can solve yourself with a simple action:

Sliding door lever rotates

On a lift sliding door handle there is an Allen screw that ensures the pin of the handle fits into the system. It may happen that this part vibrates loose or breaks. The solution for this is to remove the handle, place the pin at the desired height; and put the Allen screw back in.

Sliding door handle is loose

When the handle is loose, you can remove the cap from the sliding door fitting and tighten the screw. If there is spelling on the handle, the handle will be difficult to open, so repair of the sliding door handle is necessary.

Sliding door handle is blocked or sliding door is stuck

If the sliding door handle is blocked, the lifting mechanism is broken, so it is therefore necessary to replace the lifting lock and carriages. This requires a complete replacement of the sliding door fittings.
