FAQs

What is included in the set?

The set includes two brass straight door handles on backplates, a heavy-duty bathroom lock with an anti-rattle adjustable keep, a 100mm spindle, and all necessary screws and fixings for installation.

Is this handle set suitable for external doors?

This handle set is designed for internal doors, particularly bathrooms, and is not intended for external use.

How do I determine if I need a left or right-hand opening set?

The lock and handles are reversible, meaning the set can be easily adapted for doors that open to the left or the right. Simply follow the installation instructions for reversal if needed.

What is the purpose of the adjustable keep?

The adjustable keep on the bathroom lock allows you to fine-tune the fit against the latch or bolt when the door is closed, ensuring a snug fit and minimizing any rattling sound.

Can I cut the spindle to size?

Yes, the included 100mm spindle is designed to be cut to size to ensure a secure and precise fit for your specific door thickness.

How should I clean the polished brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the polished finish. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels stiff or does not return to position

Check that the spindle is correctly seated and not obstructed. Ensure the lock mechanism is not binding and try lubricating the moving parts of the lock lightly.

Lock mechanism is difficult to engage or disengage

Verify that the lock and keep are correctly aligned. Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame if it's too tight or loose. Ensure the spindle is turning freely.

Handle is loose on the door

Tighten the screws securing the handles and backplates to the door. Ensure the spindle is properly fitted and secured between the handles.

The lock rattles when the door is closed

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame. Gently tap the keep inward to create a tighter fit against the latch or bolt.
