Does the handle actually pop up when pressing on it , or just could be pulled out longer?

It's a press & twist action to raise the handle. However my handle broke within a couple of months. Oxo products are generally good, but not this one.

It has two straps on the side to hold the entire thing closed. The handle just slides down and tucks in like regular rolling suitcases. Doesn't have anything to latch the telescopic handle in place. I've never had an issue with it popping up on its own. Hope that answers your question.

If it happens while pressing the button on the handle then don't hold the button so long. if it's stopping for another reason then I have no answer.

It is pretty tight but it will open. With front (diamond side) facing you, pull up on left side -- really hard. The "top" handle.

You can remove one of the pieces of the handle. You push the little buttons on the sides so they are completely in - hold down both buttons (one button on each side) at the same time and then pull up - that should release the piece of the handle. You can pull out the middle piece and not use it but then it might not be long enough. The handle isnt adjustable so other than pulling out one of the pieces, I dont think there is anything else you can do to make it shorter.

The handle was already attached, i haven't tried to remove it. if you did remove it, you would have a gapinghole at the top.

If you pull it apart, it should just pop open. Just watch out because it is quick and may pop you in the face.

I think that it opens easily. My hands have trouble opening some things. No problem with this on! It's a good size to grip too. I like that the pop up button is easy to work.

It's on the end of the handle. Dark blue portion, two buttons on either side of it. Squeeze tham and the end opens up.

I bought 2 of them the first one open right up the second one didn't. On the left side close to top use a small screw driver or nail file to pop open the handle.Then once you get open do not close it.

You just push down on the assist open part and it will just flip out, you dont need to pull it out but yes, you do pull out enless you push the assisted opening part then it will come out its self

There should be a button on the handle. You have to hold it down continuously.

Mine has never popped off. I'm not sure if it's fixable after that happens. I would think so though. I would put some baby oil on the plastic points wher the handle pivots in and then try to slide the handle back in positon. If that fails....... write te manufacturer and see what they say.

it doesn't open and close anymore, it just stays open. when it was working it had a pull out handle

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.

yes the handle opens up.when you open the area where you put the key, there is an unlock handle button, just push and voile.. you can not attach to your door knob. i do wish it was a bit thinner.. it make it a tad cumbersom when you turn the door handle, but it is perfect for what i need it for. i am glad i purchased it. i was always worried that someone would not be able to get to her.. i am thinking about getting another one for my back door in case anyone ever gets locked out. that way i am not running around trying to find a hiding spot for my extra key.

It is a little tricky but mine opens and closes. After inspecting it I see that as you may suspect, turning the handle right tightens it and left loosens it. Yours must be initially stuck. I bet if you can get it to open once you won't have any trouble the next time. ;)
