FAQs

What type of lock mechanism does this handle use?

This handle set features a Euro profile lock and cylinder for enhanced security, including anti-drill and anti-pick technology.

Can this handle be used on any door?

It is designed for standard door preparations and suits both left and right-hand opening doors. The included 100mm spindle may need to be cut to size depending on your door's thickness.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as they can damage the finish.

Is installation difficult?

The handle is designed to be DIY-friendly, with all necessary fixings included. Basic tools and the ability to trim the spindle if needed are typically sufficient.

What is the purpose of the anti-rattle adjustable keep?

The adjustable keep helps to reduce noise by ensuring a snug fit against the latch, minimizing door rattling when the door is closed.

Does the handle come as a pair?

Yes, each pair includes two handles, backplates, and all necessary fixings for one door.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely. Check if the spindle is correctly seated and if the spindle itself needs to be trimmed for a tighter fit.

Latch doesn't retract or extend smoothly.

Verify that the spindle is not binding in the lock mechanism. Ensure the lock cylinder is properly aligned and that no debris is obstructing the latch.

Door rattles when closed.

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame. Slightly repositioning the strike plate or the keeper's adjustable parts can often eliminate rattling.

Lock mechanism is stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the Euro profile cylinder is correctly aligned and fully inserted. Check for any obstructions within the keyhole. The anti-drill and anti-pick features may require a precise key insertion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suits both modern and traditional interiors.
  • Durable construction with a built-in spring mechanism for long-lasting use.
  • Enhanced security features with anti-drill and anti-pick lock cylinder.
  • Easy DIY installation with all necessary fixings provided.
  • Matt black finish offers a stylish and contemporary aesthetic.

Cons

  • The included 100mm spindle may require cutting to size, adding a step to installation.
  • Matt finishes can sometimes show fingerprints more readily than glossier surfaces.
  • Reliance on specific Euro profile locks means compatibility with existing non-Euro systems may require additional work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Check Door Thickness: Determine if the included 100mm spindle needs to be cut to ensure a snug fit within the door.
  2. Assemble Hardware: Attach the handles to the backplates, ensuring they are correctly oriented for your door (left or right-hand opening).
  3. Install Lock and Cylinder: Insert the Euro profile lock and cylinder into the door.
  4. Mount Handles: Secure the backplates to the door using the provided screws and fixings.
  5. Attach Spindle: Thread the spindle through the lock mechanism and handles, connecting both sides.
  6. Install Keep: Mount the adjustable keep on the door frame, aligning it with the latch.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for standard door preparations for Euro profile locks.
  • Suitable for doors with a thickness where the 100mm spindle can be adapted.
  • Works with both left and right-hand opening doors.

Care:

  • Clean the matt black finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
  • Periodically check that all screws remain tight and that the handle mechanism operates smoothly. Lubrication is generally not required due to the built-in spring.
