FAQs

Are these handles suitable for exterior doors?

No, these handles are designed for internal doors only. They are not weather-resistant or rated for external use.

What tools are required for installation?

You will typically need a screwdriver (Phillips head), a measuring tape, a pencil, and potentially a saw or cutting tool to adjust the spindle to the correct length.

Can I use these handles with a different type of lock mechanism?

These handles are designed to work with the included heavy-duty tubular latch. Using them with other lock types may not be possible or could affect performance.

How do I determine if I need left-hand or right-hand handles?

These handles are reversible and designed for both left and right-hand opening doors due to the nature of the tubular latch and lever mechanism.

What is the warranty period for these door handles?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

How durable is the matt black finish?

The matt black finish is designed for durability in interior settings. However, like most finishes, it can be scratched or damaged by abrasive materials or harsh cleaning chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly

Check that the grub screw fixing the handle to the spindle is tightened securely. Ensure the back-to-back bolts are also tightened.

Latch does not retract or extend smoothly

Verify that the spindle is correctly inserted and not obstructed. Ensure the tubular latch mechanism itself is clean and free from debris. Check if the latch is aligned with the strike plate.

Door does not latch securely

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame to ensure it properly engages with the latch bolt. Ensure the strike plate is correctly aligned with the latch.

Matt black finish is smudged or marked

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances interior aesthetics with a modern matt black finish.
  • Durable construction from Aluminium ensures longevity.
  • Smooth and reliable operation due to the integrated spring mechanism and ball bearing hinges.
  • Comprehensive installation kit simplifies the DIY process.
  • Versatile design suits both contemporary and traditional interiors.

Cons

  • Matt black finish may show fingerprints or require careful cleaning to avoid smudging.
  • Requires precise cutting of the spindle for a perfect fit.
  • Tubular latch mechanism may be less robust than a mortise lock for high-traffic doors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the door is prepared for a standard mortise lock installation.
  2. Use the provided cut-to-size spindle to match your door thickness. Cut the spindle to the required length.
  3. Attach one handle to the door using the grub screw fixing, ensuring it is securely fastened to the spindle.
  4. Repeat for the second handle on the opposite side of the door, ensuring they are back-to-back.
  5. Install the tubular latch into the door edge, using the provided screws.
  6. Attach the strike plate to the door frame.
  7. Test the handle for smooth operation and ensure the latch engages correctly with the keep.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for internal doors with a standard mortise lock cut-out.
  • Designed for doors with a thickness typically between 35mm to 55mm, adjustable via the spindle.
  • Accommodates both left-hand and right-hand opening doors.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the matt black finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
