This comprehensive set offers a reliable 3-lever locking mechanism and fire-rated components, making it both functional and compliant for interior door upgrades. While the silver finish provides a classic look, users should be aware that the spindle may require manual cutting to ensure a perfect fit for doors of varying thicknesses.

No, these are designed specifically for interior doors and do not provide the level of security required for external entrances.
Yes, each pair comes with all necessary fixings required for standard installation.
Yes, the included ball-bearing hinges are rated for 30 minutes of fire protection.
The latch bolt is designed to be pulled out, rotated 180 degrees, and re-inserted to change the handing from left to right.
You will typically need a screwdriver, a drill for pilot holes, and a hacksaw for cutting the spindle to the correct length.
The internal spring may have become dislodged; check if the mounting screws are overtightened, which can cause friction against the spring mechanism.
Adjust the position of the keep on the door frame. Ensure the latch bolt aligns perfectly with the keep opening.
Ensure the lock body is perfectly vertical within the door mortise. Misalignment often causes binding between the key and the lever mechanism.
Clean the silver handles periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the metallic finish and lead to premature tarnishing. If the handle mechanism becomes stiff over time, a tiny amount of dry lubricant sprayed into the spindle hole can restore smooth movement.
