Depending on what type of double glazing handle you use the latch may be a separate part or an integral part of the knob. In either case, the same process for removing and reinstalling is applicable.

They are typically rectangular or circular and can be removed using the aid of a screwdriver. Some have a small hole in them where you can put your screwdriver, whereas others snap off.

Strike Plate

It is common to replace a door handle when it is loose or does not lock properly.

If this is the case, be careful to not be too rough with the chiseling process or you'll damage the integrity of the doorjamb.

You can also consider installing a new strike plate which provides the lock with a stronger grip on the door and requires more force to open it. It typically requires two longer screws to secure the strike plate to the door frame. To do this, you'll need to remove the existing strike plate, then drill and chisel the wood to create space for the new one.
