FAQs

Does this product include a lock mechanism?

No, this is a latch mechanism only. It is designed to hold the door closed and requires a separate mortise lock or tubular latch to be purchased and installed if locking functionality is needed.

What material is the Spira Brass Oakley Lever made from?

The lever and backplate are constructed from zinc.

What is the finish of this door handle?

The finish is polished chrome.

What are the dimensions of the backplate?

The backplate dimensions are 170 mm in height and 40 mm in width.

Is this suitable for exterior doors?

This latch is primarily designed for interior doors. For exterior doors, consider hardware specifically rated for weather resistance and security.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For best results, use a mild soap and water solution and dry thoroughly.

What is the weight of the product?

The product weighs approximately 0.6 kg.

Troubleshooting

Lever feels loose or wobbly.

Check that the backplate screws are tightened securely. Ensure the spindle is correctly seated and the lever handles are properly attached to it.

Lever is difficult to push down.

The issue may lie with the internal latch mechanism. Ensure the latch is not obstructed, is properly lubricated, and is compatible with the handle.

Chrome finish is tarnished or discolored.

Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water, then dry completely. For persistent issues, consult a specialist chrome cleaner.

Handle doesn't return to the horizontal position.

This often indicates a problem with the return spring within the lever mechanism or the connected latch. Check the latch mechanism for smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine Latch Type: Ensure you have the appropriate mortise lock or tubular latch that is compatible with the lever handle. This product is a lever on a backplate and typically requires a separate latch mechanism.
  2. Prepare Door: Mark the door for the latch mechanism and the lever handle spindle.
  3. Install Latch: Fit the chosen latch mechanism into the door according to its specific instructions.
  4. Attach Levers: Insert the spindle through the latch mechanism and attach one lever handle. Secure the other lever handle on the opposite side, ensuring they meet in the middle and are flush with the door.
  5. Secure Backplates: Fix the backplates to the door using the provided screws.

Compatibility:

  • This lever handle is designed for use with standard interior doors, typically 35-45mm thick.
  • Requires a separate mortise lock or tubular latch (sold separately).
  • Compatible with doors requiring a latch mechanism, not deadbolts or locking functions.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as they can damage the polished chrome finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
  • Periodically check screws for tightness to ensure the handles remain secure.
