Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the material of the handle?

The product description does not specify the base material, but it features a polished chrome finish.

What is the size of the backplate?

The backplate dimensions are approximately 168mm in length and 47mm in width.

Is this handle suitable for exterior doors?

This handle is typically designed for interior doors. The polished chrome finish may not be as resistant to weathering as materials intended for exterior use.

Does this come with a spindle and screws?

The product information states it is 'Boxed', which typically implies that necessary mounting hardware like screws and a spindle are included. It is always best to check the packaging contents upon receipt.

Can I buy a single handle instead of a pair?

This product is sold as a pair. Single handles are usually sold separately.

What type of lock mechanism is used?

The description mentions a 'Lock Backplate', indicating a standard internal lock mechanism suitable for privacy. Specific lock type details are not provided.

How do I maintain the polished chrome finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels stiff or difficult to operate

Check that the spindle is correctly aligned and not binding. Ensure screws are not overtightened, which can constrict movement. Lubricate the internal mechanism lightly if necessary.

Lock mechanism does not engage properly

Verify that the lock mechanism is correctly installed and aligned with the door edge and strike plate. Ensure there are no obstructions in the door or frame.

Handle loose on the door

Tighten the handle screws. Ensure the spindle is properly seated within both handles. If the holes in the door are worn, consider using wood filler or shims.

Polished chrome finish is dull or smudged

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry immediately with a soft, dry cloth to restore shine. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the door is prepared with the correct backset and hole size for the lock mechanism and spindle.
  2. Insert the lock mechanism through the large hole in the backplate.
  3. Feed the spindle through the central hole.
  4. Position the handles on either side of the door, aligning the spindle with the handle's internal mechanism.
  5. Secure the handles using the provided screws, ensuring they are tightened firmly but not overtightened.
  6. Install any associated privacy turn or key mechanism as per the specific lock type.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard internal doors (approx. 35-45mm thickness).
  • Suitable for doors requiring a lock backplate for privacy.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
