FAQs

Does this set include the door lock?

No, the bathroom mortice lock is required for installation and must be purchased separately.

Can this handle be used on bedroom doors?

This model is designed specifically for bathrooms with a thumbturn and release mechanism; it is not suitable for standard locking or latching-only doors.

What are the backplate dimensions?

The backplate measures 180mm in height by 40mm in width.

How do I open the door in an emergency?

Use a coin or a flat-head screwdriver in the slot on the exterior face of the handle to turn and release the lock.

Is the finish resistant to rust?

Yes, the handle is made from a zinc and aluminium alloy, which is highly resistant to corrosion in humid environments.

Is there a warranty on this handle?

Yes, this product is backed by a 10-year mechanical guarantee.

Troubleshooting

The thumbturn feels stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the backplate is aligned correctly with the mortice lock; loose or misaligned screws can create friction on the spindle.

The handle lever does not return to a horizontal position.

Check that the spindle is the correct length and that the internal spring mechanism is not obstructed by debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable zinc and aluminium construction resists corrosion
  • Stylish polished chrome finish complements modern interiors
  • Includes essential emergency release for enhanced safety
  • Backed by a 10-year mechanical guarantee for peace of mind

Cons

  • Bathroom mortice lock must be purchased separately
  • Requires specific tools for initial door preparation
  • Polished surface may show water spots more than matte finishes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your door is prepped with a compatible bathroom mortice lock. The package includes a pair of handles, an 8mm x 90mm main spindle, and a 5mm x 75mm thumbturn spindle.

  1. Install your bathroom mortice lock into the door cavity.
  2. Insert the spindles through the lock mechanism.
  3. Align the backplates (180mm x 40mm) and secure them using the provided screws.
  4. Test the movement of the T-bar lever and the function of the thumbturn before tightening screws fully.

For maintenance, wipe the polished chrome surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can scratch the reflective finish and degrade the protective coating.
