Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the mortice lock included?

No, the mortice lock is sold separately.

Can I use this handle on a bathroom door?

This model is designed for a standard mortice lock; it does not feature a thumb-turn or emergency release, so it is best suited for non-locking doors or doors with keyed entry.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 10-year mechanical guarantee.

Will this fit a 50mm thick door?

No, it is specifically designed for doors between 30mm and 45mm thick.

Does it come as a single or pair?

It is sold as a pair of handles, sufficient for one door.

How do I clean the silver finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation

Check that the fixing screws on both sides are tightened securely and the spindle is properly seated within the mortice lock follower.

Lever does not return to a horizontal position

Ensure the door is not binding against the frame and check that the mortice lock internal spring is functional.

Handle rubs against the backplate

Verify that the handles are aligned correctly on both sides of the door and that the screws are not overtightened, which can warp the backplate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your door is solid and falls within the 30-45mm thickness range. You will need a standard mortice lock installed in your door prior to mounting this handle. Measure your existing door preparations to ensure alignment with the 152 x 40mm backplate footprint. Use the included 8mm spindle to connect the two handles through the mortice lock follower.

For ongoing care, wipe the silver finish with a soft, damp cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may scratch or tarnish the polished surface over time. Periodically check that the fixing screws remain tight to ensure the handle remains flush against the door surface.
