Product Information

Full details

This guide is for property managers, contractors, and homeowners requiring durable, fire-compliant door hardware. The key benefit is enhanced safety and accessibility in high-traffic areas with a self-retracting lever design. A potential caveat is the specific door thickness compatibility. This stainless steel door handle range meets fire safety standards and features a unique spring mechanism that retracts the lever flush to the rose, preventing accidental snags in busy corridors. It's built to BS8300 standards for accessible environments and includes a comprehensive installation kit.

FAQs

Are these handles suitable for external doors?

These handles are primarily designed for internal use. While made of stainless steel, their suitability for external exposure to weather elements is not specified.

What is the main advantage of the self-retracting lever?

The self-retracting lever springs flush to the rose, preventing it from sticking out and becoming a snagging hazard in busy corridors or high-traffic areas.

What door thickness can these handles be fitted to?

They are compatible with doors that have a thickness between 35mm and 44mm.

Does the pack include everything needed for installation?

Yes, each pack includes a heavy-duty 80mm bathroom lock (57mm backset), 54mm turn and release, 102mm ball bearing hinges, grub screws, and back-to-back bolts.

How do I clean and maintain the silver finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the stainless steel finish. Regular checks for loose screws are recommended.

Are these handles compliant with accessibility standards?

Yes, they are built in accordance with BS8300 standards, which promotes accessible environments with easy-to-use lever designs.

Troubleshooting

Lever does not retract fully.

Ensure there are no obstructions around the rose or mechanism. Check that the door thickness is within the specified range (35-44mm). If the issue persists, the internal spring may require attention or replacement.

Installation screws are not tightening securely.

Verify that the door material is suitable for the provided screws. Ensure the back-to-back bolts are correctly aligned and tightened evenly. If the door is very old or soft, consider using longer or different types of screws suitable for the material, ensuring they do not compromise fire integrity.

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Check and tighten the grub screws located on the underside of the lever handle. Ensure the rose escutcheons are flush against the door and that the spindle is correctly seated within the lock mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances safety with a self-retracting lever design that prevents snags.
  • Meets critical fire safety compliance standards.
  • Promotes accessibility with a lever designed to BS8300 standards.
  • Durable construction suitable for high-traffic commercial environments.
  • Includes all necessary hardware for a complete installation.

Cons

  • Limited compatibility with door thicknesses outside the 35-44mm range.
  • The self-retracting mechanism requires adequate spring tension, which might wear over extended periods.
  • Primarily designed for interior use; external durability against elements is not specified.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The handles come with a comprehensive installation kit including a heavy-duty 80mm bathroom lock, 54mm turn and release, 102mm ball bearing hinges, grub screws, and back-to-back bolts. Ensure all components are present before beginning installation. Follow the provided diagrams carefully for correct assembly, paying attention to the backset of the lock and the door thickness.

Compatibility: These handles are designed for doors with a thickness ranging from 35mm to 44mm. Ensure your door falls within this specification before installation. The 80mm bathroom lock has a 57mm backset, which is standard for many interior doors.

Care: To maintain the appearance and functionality, clean the stainless steel handles with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check that screws remain tight and the lever action is smooth. For cleaning visible surfaces, a mild soap and water solution is recommended.
