FAQs

What is the primary material of the handle?

The handles have a solid aluminium core, which provides strength and keeps the weight low.

Can this handle set be used on exterior doors?

This set is designed for internal doors. The finish and mechanism may not be suitable for outdoor weather conditions.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a screwdriver and a hacksaw to cut the spindle to size.

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

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

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to prevent damage to the finish.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The AFIT Victorian Scroll range is backed by a five-year guarantee.

Can I replace an existing handle set with this one?

This set is designed to be a straightforward DIY replacement. Ensure your door thickness is between 35-44mm and that the backplate dimensions (150mm x 150mm) are compatible with your existing door preparation or are acceptable for a new installation.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation.

Ensure the spindle is correctly cut and fully engaged. Re-tighten the handle screws firmly against the backplate. Check that the door thickness is within the specified range (35-44 mm).

Lever does not return to the horizontal position.

Verify that the concealed spring mechanism is correctly seated. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the lever's movement. Check that the spindle is not binding.

Bathroom lock is stiff or noisy.

Adjust the anti-rattle keep for a tighter fit. Ensure the lock bolt moves freely. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the lock mechanism and bolt.

Screws do not engage properly.

Confirm the door thickness is within the 35-44 mm range. If the screws are too long, they may not grip adequately; if too short, they won't secure the handle. Ensure correct screws are used from the provided pack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure Door Thickness: Ensure your door is between 35-44 mm thick for proper screw engagement.
  2. Position Handle: Align the backplate and lever on the door at the desired height.
  3. Cut Spindle: Measure and cut the 100 mm spindle to the required length using a hacksaw. It needs to pass through the door and connect both handles securely.
  4. Attach Handles: Fix the handles to the door using the provided colour-matched screws.
  5. Install Lock Mechanism: Fit the associated bathroom lock and keep, ensuring the anti-rattle adjustment is set for a snug fit.

Care:

  • Clean the matt black finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
  • Periodically check that screws remain tight to maintain secure fitting.
  • For the lock mechanism, occasional lubrication with a graphite-based lubricant can ensure smooth operation.
