Are these handles suitable for exterior doors?

What is included in the package?

Each pair comes with all the necessary fixings required for installation, including a 100mm spindle that can be cut to size.

How do I clean and maintain the antique black finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.

Can I cut the spindle to size?

Yes, the included 100mm spindle is designed to be cut to the specific size required for a secure fit on your door.

What style of property are these handles best suited for?

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Check that all screws are securely tightened. Ensure the spindle is correctly inserted and cut to the appropriate length for your door thickness. Verify that the rose plates are flush against the door surface.

Spring mechanism does not return the handle to the neutral position.

Confirm the spindle is rotating freely within the latch mechanism. Ensure no debris is obstructing the spring mechanism. The latch may need adjustment or replacement if the issue persists.

Difficulty installing screws.

Ensure you are using the correct screws provided and that they are aligned with the pre-drilled holes. If the holes feel stripped, consider using slightly longer screws or a wood filler to create a secure anchor point.
