upvc door handle won't spring up

[jcat]

hi, we have a upvc door at the rear of the house, but the handle won't spring up any more so u can't push the door and have it latch on an close automatically. the door has bolt like latches at multiple points so when you pull the handle up they lock into place.

is there anyway to get the handle to spring back up again, or does this involve replacing the whole door mechanism

door mechanism gone m8 and need replaced sooner rather than later as the door could end up stuck closed!!!!!

Agree with BBL. If you don't have a local supplier have a look on email there's loads of suppliers.

Mine does a tension spring just to bring the handle back up so the catch latches on when you just push it, the door is about 4 months old since I fitted it.
