How do I clean the handles?

What is included in the installation kit?
The kit includes a cut-to-size 100mm spindle, grub screws for fixing, and back-to-back bolts.
Can these handles be used with a mortise lock?

What is the lifespan of the spring mechanism?

Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly
Check and tighten the grub screws located on the underside of the handle levers, ensuring they are securely fastened to the spindle.
Handle does not return to position
Verify that the spindle is correctly seated in the latch mechanism and that the grub screws are tight. Ensure no obstructions are present within the door or latch.
Installation hardware seems incorrect for door thickness
The included spindle is cut-to-size. If you require significant adjustment, consult the manufacturer's support or a hardware professional. Ensure the back-to-back bolts are sufficiently long.
