At the risk of stating the obvious, you do know that the normal operation requires you to pull it up once?I have a UPVC back door. I have to pull up the handle several times before the key will turn. Does anybody have any idea what the problem may be please?

Good squirt of WD40/GT85 around all moving elements of the locking bits and flick the handle up and down a few times with the door open whilst manipulating the handle....................should be back to how it was
Yeo, I ended up having to strip off and clean the whole locking system after similar to the OP. Silcone spray to everything and smooth operator back in action .

Thanks for the replies. I get the same problem with the door open so it's definitely a case of removing the brass strip and lubricating everything.
