Fix a loose/floppy door handle

Fixing a loose or floppy door handle (tightening it, adjusting the mechanism or replacing parts) on Zoofy usually falls under the door-handle installation service. According to Zoofy’s price list, this has a fixed price of €55.

In practice, costs typically range from €55 to €100 on average, based on previous jobs. Zoofy has no call-out fees and pricing is based on professional averages.

On average, getting a door handle properly working again takes about 1 to 2 hours. The exact time depends on the cause—tightening a loose set screw is quick, while replacing a spring cassette or dealing with a tricky lock mechanism takes longer.

A handyman makes sure the handle is secure and springs back smoothly. The job typically includes:

Inspection & diagnosis:
Checking whether the issue is caused by loose fixings, a worn spring unit, a bent spindle, or a problem inside the lock case.

Dismantling:
Removing the handles and rosettes/plates to access the internal components.

Repair or replacement:
Tightening screws and set bolts, and replacing parts when needed (spindle, sprung rosette, spring cassette, or lock mechanism).

Adjustment & testing:
Re-aligning, fitting everything firmly, and testing smooth operation and proper return.

Tidy up:
Cleaning up and giving a brief tip on preventing it from loosening again.
