Question
What is the ruling regarding a door handle that fell out of place?
Answer
A door handle that fell out of place should not be returned to its place due to the prohibition of building. However, it is permitted to return it in an inverted manner since it is not customary to leave it that way for a long time. If it is impossible to open the door without the handle, one may open the door with a security key, and if that is not possible, it can be opened with any other object, even one typically used for prohibited work, such as a screwdriver, etc.
