Yes, fixings are supplied with the Blooma Gate Pull Handle for easy installation.
What material is the handle made of?

How do I clean the grey finish?
Clean the handle using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
Is this handle suitable for heavy-duty security doors?
No, this handle is designed primarily for aesthetic enhancement and ease of pulling doors or gates, not as a heavy-duty security component.
Can I paint over the grey finish?
While painting is possible, it may affect the durability and appearance of the original finish. If you choose to paint, ensure proper surface preparation and use paint suitable for metal.
What is the distance between the mounting holes?
The exact distance between mounting holes is not specified, but standard gate pull handle dimensions are generally consistent. Measure your intended mounting location to ensure compatibility before drilling.
Troubleshooting
Handle is loose after installation
Ensure all provided screws are fully tightened. If the screws do not grip sufficiently in the door material, consider using slightly larger screws or appropriate wall anchors for your specific door type.
Fixings are not suitable for my door material
The provided fixings are general purpose. Depending on the door material (e.g., metal, composite), you may need to purchase specific fixings from a hardware store for a secure and appropriate installation.
Grey finish appears dull or scuffed
Gently clean the handle with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For minor scuffs, try a non-abrasive metal polish specifically designed for grey or gunmetal finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation is designed to be straightforward. You will need to mark the desired position for the handle on your door or gate, drill pilot holes if necessary (depending on material), and then secure the handle using the provided fixings. Ensure the fixings are appropriate for your door's material (e.g., wood, metal).
Compatibility: This pull handle is compatible with most standard internal and external doors, gates, and hatches where a pull handle is desired. It is best suited for applications where the handle is used for pulling rather than a primary locking or security mechanism.
Care: To maintain the appearance of the grey finish, clean the handle with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For outdoor use, periodically check that fixings remain secure and that the finish is not compromised by harsh weather.
