FAQs
What material is the handle made from?
The handle is hand-forged from mild steel.
Is this handle suitable for external doors?
Yes, the durable black finish is corrosion-resistant and suitable for external entrance doors, though regular cleaning will maintain its appearance.
Does it come with screws?
Yes, it is supplied with matching wood screws for installation.
What are the exact dimensions of the 4" handle?
The overall size is 101mm x 25mm, with fixing centres at 71mm and a projection of 32mm.
Can I use this handle on metal cabinets?
The handle is supplied with wood screws and is primarily designed for wood. For metal applications, you would need to source appropriate self-tapping or machine screws and ensure compatibility.
Will the black finish chip easily?
The black finish is baked at high temperatures for durability and corrosion resistance. While resistant to normal wear, it can be damaged by significant impact or abrasive cleaners.
Are there other sizes available in this range?
Yes, From The Anvil offers other sizes in their Gothic D Handle range, such as 6" and 8" (MPN 33995 and 33996 respectively).
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after installation.
Ensure the fixing screws are fully tightened. If the pilot holes are stripped, you may need to use slightly larger screws or wood filler to create a secure anchor point.
Screws do not seem to fit correctly.
Verify that you are using the screws provided with the handle. Ensure the pilot holes are drilled to the correct size for the screws; if too small, they will be difficult to drive; if too large, they won't grip.
The black finish appears to be scratching or fading.
This handle is designed for durability, but excessive abrasion can affect the finish. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals or abrasive pads. Light touch-up paint may be used if minor scratches occur, though this is uncommon with proper care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Determine Placement: Decide on the exact location for the handle on your door or cabinet.
- Mark Fixing Centres: Use the handle's fixing centres (71mm) to mark the drill points accurately on the surface.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes suitable for the provided wood screws. Ensure the depth is appropriate for the material.
- Attach Handle: Align the handle with the pilot holes and secure it using the supplied matching wood screws. Ensure screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten, which could strip the wood.
Compatibility:
- Material: Suitable for wood doors and cabinets. Ensure the material can support the handle's weight and the stress of use.
- Door Thickness: The handle's projection (32mm) should be considered in relation to door thickness to ensure comfortable clearance.
- Screw Type: Supplied with wood screws. For alternative materials like metal or uPVC, appropriate fixings would be required.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, polishes, or solvents, as these can damage the black finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically check that the screws remain tight. For outdoor use, occasional checks for any signs of wear on the finish might be necessary, though the baked finish offers good protection.
