FAQs

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need a screwdriver (often Phillips head), a measuring tape, and a saw to cut the spindle to size. A drill might be needed if pilot holes are not pre-existing.

Can these handles be used on external doors?

These handles are designed primarily for internal doors. For external use, it is recommended to use hardware specifically rated for outdoor conditions.

How do I determine the correct spindle length?

Measure the thickness of your door. The spindle needs to pass through the door completely, connecting both handles and the latch mechanism. The included 100mm spindle can be cut to the required length, ensuring there is enough length to firmly grip both handles.

Are these handles reversible for left and right-hand doors?

Yes, the included heavy-duty tubular latch is designed to be suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors.

How should I clean the matt black finish?

For best results, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the matt finish. Dry with a clean, soft cloth afterwards.

What is included in the box?

Each pair includes the door handles, a heavy-duty tubular latch with an anti-rattle adjustable keep, and all necessary fixings, including a 100mm spindle.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or sags

Check that the spindle is securely fixed and cut to the correct length. Ensure all mounting screws are tightened.

Latch does not engage properly

Verify the latch mechanism is correctly aligned with the strike plate. Adjust the strike plate position if necessary. Ensure the door is not warped.

Handle is stiff to operate

Check for any obstructions around the mechanism. Ensure the spindle is not binding. The internal spring mechanism may require lubrication with a light oil if the issue persists after checking other factors.

Matt black finish appears dull or has smudges

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
