minus-squareHexesofVexes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·29 days agoSo the first part I can answer - see that hole on the right under the handle? There should be a little screw bit in there you can tighten or loosen using an alen key. It looks to be missing. Odds are it just fell out (look on the floor nearby) - sometimes years of motion just does that. As for the second part, no idea XD

minus-squareHexesofVexes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·28 days agoI think it’s called a grub screw, take a photo of the door handle and head to a local hardware shop. Odds are they’ll be happy to help if you ask, and the photo will lend a hand on size.
