FAQs
Does this set include the latch mechanism?
This set includes the levers and backplates; please check if your existing latch is compatible or if you need to purchase a separate latch bolt.
Can these be used on exterior doors?
These handles are designed for interior use and may not provide the necessary security or weather resistance for exterior door applications.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will generally need a screwdriver (Philips head), a measuring tape, and a drill to set the initial pilot holes.
Are these handles reversible?
Yes, the straight lever design is typically reversible to suit either left-hand or right-hand opening doors.
How do I clean the silver finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth for regular maintenance or a microfiber cloth dampened with mild soap and water for deeper cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after installation
Check that the grub screws are fully tightened and the spindle is centered correctly.

Ensure the internal spring cassette is correctly oriented and not obstructed by wood shavings in the door cavity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic hand tools, including a screwdriver and a drill for pilot holes if necessary. Ensure the door thickness is compatible with the supplied spindle before tightening. Regarding care, the silver finish is low-maintenance; simply wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove fingerprints or dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull the finish or cause micro-scratches over time.
