Question
The handle fell on Shabbat, how can the door be opened?
Answer
In the event that the door cannot be opened without a handle, it is permissible to open the door with a key, and if that is not possible, it can be opened with any other object, even one whose primary use is for prohibited work, such as a screwdriver, etc. It is also permissible to reattach the handle upside down, as it is not customary to leave it in this position for long.
