They come in two forms, having a lever on the interior and a paddle on the outside.

It's typically an insignificant hole or protruding ring, or rectangle, located on the handle base plate.

There are many reasons that door handles for levers slide. The most common reason is that the fixings are over tightened, and are putting pressure on the bearings of the lever, causing it to bind against the door's face. It could also be due to the fact that the levers are not being operated at a straight angle and this is compressing the latch mechanism and preventing it from fully springing back into service. Another common reason is that the sprung lever is not functioning properly and this is usually due to the sprung not being in the proper position within the backplate. To determine whether the handle has returned to its horizontal position, simply turn it. If your door handles are loose, it is important to identify the issue quickly, since this could lead to excessive wear on the screws and eventually to the handle falling off the base plate. You should also tighten any loose screws regularly to stop them from becoming looser.
