Replacing a faulty upvc door handle please subscribe if the video helped you thank you.
So it sounds like the hole in the handle that the bar connects in to has possibly worn down and now the handle is spinning as there is no grip on the connecting bar.

In this case it is most likely due to a misaligned door.
The door handle on my upvc is working loose how can i fix it.
If that does not work try and use a thin scraper or similar to disengage the latch from the gap between door and frame.
