I can't comment on the repop latch and handle hardware, but it's possible that the square on the end of the handles has a loose fit in the latch. There's also a spring in the latch that returns the handle to horizontal, but that spring may be weak in your latches.

As far as locking with the inside handle, are you saying that doesn't work on your latches, (either side), or are you just not able to use the procedure that Wm L describes? There's an adjustment procedure for the inside handles that you may need to redo. The bolts holding the remote assembly are slotted for adjustment.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
