FAQs

What type of lock is required for this knob?

This is an unsprung door knob and requires a compatible mortice lock or rim lock that does not rely on a sprung mechanism within the knob itself.

Can this knob be used on external doors?

While the design is versatile, the ceramic material and gold finish are generally best suited for internal doors where they are protected from harsh weather conditions.

What is the diameter of the knob and rose?

Both the knob and the rose have a diameter of 60mm, providing a comfortable grip and visual presence.

How is the knob attached to the spindle?

The knob typically attaches to the spindle via a grub screw or other securing mechanism, which is usually tightened from the underside or side of the knob.

What is included in the pair?

The pair includes two knobs, the necessary spindle, and screw fixings for installation.

What is the guarantee period for this product?

The Designer Levers White Banded ceramic door knob comes with a 10-year mechanical guarantee.

How do I clean the silver lining on the ceramic knob?

Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning the ceramic and silver lining. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Knob feels loose on the spindle.

Ensure the grub screw or other securing mechanism on the knob is tightened appropriately. If the spindle is damaged or worn, it may need replacement.

Lock mechanism does not engage properly with the knob.

Verify that the knob is correctly seated on the spindle and that the spindle is properly inserted into the lock mechanism. Ensure the lock itself is functioning correctly and is compatible with an unsprung knob.

Gold finish appears dull or tarnished.

Gently polish the gold-finished rose with a soft cloth. For stubborn tarnish, use a dedicated mild gold polish, applying sparingly and buffing off immediately.

Fixings are difficult to align or secure.

Ensure the door preparation is accurate. If mounting the rose separately, ensure the mounting holes align with the lock mechanism or spindle. Double-check that you are using the correct screws for the door thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have the appropriate lock mechanism (mortice or rim lock, compatible with unsprung knobs).
  2. Insert the spindle through the lock mechanism.
  3. Place the rose onto the door, aligning with the spindle.
  4. Secure the rose using the provided screw fixings. The rose can be mounted separately for easier installation.
  5. Attach the knob onto the spindle, ensuring a snug fit.

Compatibility:

  • This knob is designed for use with unsprung door locks (mortice or rim locks).
  • It is suitable for internal doors with a thickness typically between 35mm and 50mm (confirm with lock mechanism specifications).
  • The rose can be mounted separately, allowing for installation on doors with existing hardware cutouts.

Care:

  • Clean the ceramic knob with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface or damage the silver lining.
  • Polish the gold-finished rose periodically with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its shine. For deeper cleaning, use a mild brass or gold polish, following the product instructions carefully.
