FAQs

What type of lock mechanism does this handle set work with?

This handle set is designed to work with a standard mortise latch mechanism. It does not include a lock for the door itself.

Can I use this handle set on an exterior door?

While the stainless brass offers good durability, this specific model is typically intended for interior use. For exterior doors, consider hardware specifically rated for weather resistance.

What is the warranty period for these handles?

Please refer to the product packaging or contact the retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Basic tools such as a screwdriver (usually Phillips head) are typically required for installation. If you are unsure, consulting a professional is recommended.

How do I determine if this handle will fit my door?

Measure the distance from the center of the spindle hole to the edge of the door (backset) and check the door's thickness. This set is designed for standard latches and doors typically between 35-45mm thick.

Can I purchase a single handle instead of a pair?

This product is sold as a pair, providing handles for both sides of one door. Single handles are not typically offered for this specific set.

What is the difference between latch backplate and lock backplate?

A latch backplate is designed to operate with a door latch only, allowing the door to open and close. A lock backplate includes a keyhole or thumbturn mechanism for locking the door.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels stiff or difficult to operate

Check that the spindle is correctly aligned and not binding. Ensure screws are not overtightened, which can restrict movement. Clean any dust or debris from the latch mechanism.

Latch does not fully retract or extend

Verify the latch mechanism itself is functioning correctly. Ensure the backplates are aligned and the spindle is properly seated within the latch mechanism. Check for any obstructions within the door or frame.

Handle has become loose

Gently tighten the handle screws securing the handle to the spindle. Be careful not to overtighten.

Finish appears dull or tarnished

Clean with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for brass finishes. Ensure the product is dried thoroughly after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible door with a standard mortise latch mechanism.
  2. Remove the existing door handles.
  3. Position the new latch backplates on both sides of the door, aligning them with the spindle holes.
  4. Insert the spindle through the latch mechanism and the backplates.
  5. Secure the handles onto the spindle using the provided screws.
  6. Test the handle operation to ensure smooth movement and proper latch retraction.

Compatibility:

  • This handle set is designed for doors prepared for standard mortise latches.
  • It is suitable for doors with a thickness typically ranging from 35mm to 45mm.
  • The backplate is specifically designed for latch functionality, not for deadbolts or bathroom locks without additional hardware.

Care:

  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
  • Dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth after cleaning.
