FAQs
Are fixing screws included?
No, this product does not include fixings. You will need to source screws that match the thickness of your specific door.
Is this handle suitable for internal doors?
While it can be fitted, it is designed for external UPVC doors and includes a keyhole, which is generally unnecessary for internal applications.
Does the handle come with a cylinder lock?
No, the package includes the handles and backing plates only. The locking cylinder must be purchased separately or reused from your existing setup.
What does a split spindle mean?
A split spindle allows the internal and external handles to operate independently, often used on doors that require a key to open from the outside but can be opened freely from the inside.
Can I use this to replace a different brand of handle?
Yes, as long as the dimensions, including the screw centers and the PZ dimension, are compatible with your existing lock case.
Troubleshooting
Handle is loose or wobbles after installation
Check that the fixing bolts are tightened securely and that the spindle is fully seated in both the handle and the lock case.
The lever does not return to the horizontal position
Ensure the internal springs are correctly oriented during installation and that there is no debris blocking the handle mechanism.
The key is difficult to turn
The handle may be slightly misaligned with the cylinder; loosen the fixing bolts slightly, adjust the handle position, and re-tighten.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, verify that your current door's backplate dimensions and the distance between the handle center and the keyhole center (the PZ dimension) match this unit. Because this handle does not include fixings, reuse existing screws if they are in good condition or purchase new M5 or M6 handle bolts of the appropriate length for your door thickness. To maintain the handle, periodically wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and salt buildup. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can damage the white finish. Lubricate the internal spring once a year with a silicone-based spray to ensure continued smooth movement.
