Loose handle? Look at the washers

Handles get pulled hard every day, and the washers at each fixing take a lot of that strain. They spread the clamping force, stop the screw head or handle base biting into the surface and help the fixing stay tight. A worn, cracked or missing washer often shows up as a handle that moves, creaks, sits crooked or keeps coming loose no matter how often it's tightened. Swapping the washers is a simple fix before the mounting holes get damaged.
