The loose handle on the bathroom door is maddening. It squeaks and wobbles and does not really work right, the door does not close properly, Find a screwdriver and a pliers. Withdraw the pin that has gone loose, remove the handle, unscrew the rosettes around the handle. Check that there are no holes for screws in the lock, that is a feature of newer locks, but then, who knows? 

Replace the lock, place the rosette over the handle, push the square rod through the lock, put on the other rosette and fit the other  handle. Push the handles together ensuring a tight fit. Then put the pin in. Go downstairs to get the big pipe pliers, and squeeze the pin in flush with the shaft of the handle. Then four screws to hold the rosettes. 

Now the door works again and will continue to work until it breaks again.

This small job has been calling out to be done for the last five years.
