FAQs

What material are these door handles made from?

The door handles are made from solid cast iron with a black powder coating finish.

Are these handles suitable for exterior doors?

These handles are designed for interior doors and are ideal for cottages and period properties.

What is included in the pair?

Each pair includes two handles, a 100mm spindle (which can be cut to size), and all necessary fixings for installation.

How do I clean the handles?

Clean the handles with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.

Do I need a special tool to install the spindle?

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation

Ensure the spindle is securely fitted and the handle screws are fully tightened. If the spindle was cut, verify it's firmly seated within the handle mechanisms.

Handle does not return to its original position

Check that the spring mechanism is correctly aligned and not obstructed. Ensure the spindle is straight and properly inserted.

Screws do not seem to fit properly

Verify you are using the correct screws provided for the handles and not the spindle fixings. Ensure the screw holes are clear of debris.
