FAQs
What is included in the fixing kit?
The kit typically includes the door handles, spindle, latch mechanism, screws, and any other necessary hardware for installation.
Can these handles be used on exterior doors?
These handles are designed for internal doors only and may not offer the necessary durability or security for exterior applications.
What is the required door thickness for installation?
The handles are generally compatible with internal doors between 35mm and 45mm thick.
How do I clean the polished chrome finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching.
Is the spindle length adjustable?
Yes, the included 100mm spindle can be cut to size to ensure a secure fit on your specific door thickness.
What is the benefit of the built-in spring mechanism?
The built-in spring mechanism helps to prevent the handle from drooping over time and ensures smooth, reliable operation for daily use.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels stiff or doesn't return properly.
Check that the spindle is correctly aligned and not binding. Ensure the screws securing the handles are not overtightened. The internal spring mechanism may require lubrication with a suitable agent if persistent.
Handle is loose after installation.
Verify that all screws are tightened securely. Ensure the spindle is adequately gripped by both handles and that the rose escutcheons are flush against the door.
Latch mechanism not engaging smoothly.
Check for any obstructions in the latch hole or on the latch bolt itself. Ensure the latch is correctly oriented and that the strike plate on the door frame is properly aligned.
