Can you spray wd40 or something into the locking mechs? Then lift handle up and down and hopefully it'll be all loosey goosey.

Can confirm this as a great "go for it diy" option.
My handles got really stiff and the locks wouldn't engage properly.
Squirted wd40 in every hole I could find and gave it a good tug up and down, inside and out.
Feels like a new door now.

Thanks for responding. I’ll give this a try first thing.
