This screw fits in a groove on the round lever rod. A loose lever requires some readjustment to properly fit into the rod assembly.
Things You Will Need
-
Determine whether you will need an allen wrench or a screwdriver based on the style of set screw, which you will find on the bottom of the door lever. Remove the screw, and slip the lever handle off the rod.
-
Inspect the rod's surface, and locate the groove where the set screw needs to be secured. Replace the handle, aligning the set screw hole with the groove.
-
Reinsert the set screw and tighten firmly with the allen wrench or the screwdriver.
-
Repeat this process on the opposite side of the door lever to insure a tight lever door handle.

- A loose doorknob of any kind is a nuisance, and if left unfixed, it will eventually fall completely off the door.
- Levers handles slide onto a rod assembly with a set screw.
- Replace the handle, aligning the set screw hole with the groove.
