FAQs

What type of doors is this handle set compatible with?

This handle set is designed for internal timber or composite doors with a thickness between 35-44 mm. It is supplied with a 64mm backset bathroom lock.

Do I need any special tools to install this handle set?

You will need a screwdriver for installation and a hacksaw to cut the provided spindle to the correct length for your door thickness. Basic DIY tools are sufficient.

How do I maintain the polished brass finish?

Regularly wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and always dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the shine.

Is the lock suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors?

Yes, the included heavy-duty bathroom lock features an adjustable keep and is designed to be suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The AFIT Victorian Scroll range, including this bathroom handle set, is backed by a five-year guarantee.

Can I use this handle set for exterior doors?

No, this handle set is specifically designed for internal doors. It is not rated or intended for use on exterior doors.

What does the 'cut-to-fit' spindle mean?

It means the included spindle is longer than typically needed for a single door. You cut it to the precise length required to pass through your door, ensuring a secure fit for both handles.

Troubleshooting

Handle lever feels loose or wobbly.

Ensure the fixing screws are fully tightened. If the spindle is not cut to the correct length or is not seated properly, the handle may feel loose. Re-check spindle fit and screw tightness.

Latch does not retract or extend smoothly.

Verify the spindle is correctly aligned and moving freely. Check the internal spring mechanism is not obstructed. Ensure the lock mechanism is not binding due to misaligned strike plate or keep.

Door does not close properly or lock securely.

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame to ensure the latch bolt engages correctly. Check that the door is not warped and the lock mechanism is properly aligned with the keep.

Visible scratches or damage on the polished brass finish.

Use only soft cloths for cleaning and avoid any abrasive materials or cleaning agents. Minor scratches may be difficult to remove from a polished finish; preventative care is key.

Spindle is difficult to cut.

Ensure you are using a suitable hacksaw blade for metal. Secure the spindle firmly in a vice or clamp before cutting to prevent movement and ensure a clean cut.
