If I remember right, there is a sort of metal clasp sort of thing that you use that is built into the end of the handle in which you insert into the skillet in order for it to be secure. after you match the holes, you adjust the clasp so it secures it to the skillet.

There is an adjustment in the handle that can be made or the problem lies elsewere. My husband easily made the adjustment. We have been very happy with the handles! Hope this helps!

I think it's a screwed up design, I have to get a screwdriver and flip the lever underneath to let the handle down and hope you don't push it all the way back up or you will have to do it again.My vacuum guy is looking at mine to see if anything can be done to fix it.

hm... I don't have that problem. It seems like you have a bigger handle bar? I'd bring a screw to a local hardware store and look for a same size but longer ones. Good luck.

Answer here..I have been using mine quite regularly and my handle does not need to be constantly tightened. You might want to try a drop or two of glue to hold it securely.

I've had a similar problem. The only thing I've done is squeze the handles together above and below the pivot with a screwdriver. This has worked for me - I hope this helps. Best Regards - Philip

hi Sangki,Iv'e had my pan for several months. The handle still seems tight as it should. If yours is loose Iwould exchange it for a new one. To be honest with you its a great pan, cleans easily. Iwould buy another. I think it' the best. thanks jimmy

When my slicer first arrived I adjusted the handle and wire and it hasn't moved since. Maybe yours is defective? I'm not sure because I have not had this problem. Maybe they will replace it?

I had the exact same problem! I finally just pulled the handle straight out with pretty strong force and it came out. Good luck.

The handles should just lock or snap together. You have to make sure the ends of the middle section (between the hand end and the machine end) are oriented in the right direction. Hope this helps... otherwise, you should be able to find a customer service number for them in the manual or on their website. Best of lock.

Hi Cheryl, I had a very hard time with this also. I loosened the tension all the way & enlisted my wife's help. I held up the handles and my wife connected the hook. It took the two of us to finally get it. I think we were trying too hard; because, it just kind of went into place. Sorry, it's hard to explain what we did. It was very frustrating. Good luck

I suppose you could tie a long string around the handle and drop it in. Or drill a hole in the handle and use a chain. But personally would call the company, they are very responsive and may have some better ideas. They seem to be very consumer oriented and are always looking to improve their products.

I never had a problem, it just screwed right in. I just unscrewed it to check: the bottom part definitely has threads on the outside of the pole part and the middle pole has threads on the inside. Must be defective. :( Have them send you another.

I pull the handle all the way up and turned the lower part of the handle below the blue ring until it felt tight. Hope this help

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top.**UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

I wish I could help you. I never had that problem. There usually is a clip on the handles to keep them together. Good Luck.

This is part of the issue I have had from the beginning. Try turning the knob situated above the handle. It locks the unit in place if you have it seated properly. I hope that helps...
