Product Information

Full details

This AFIT Victorian Scroll Latch Set in Black is designed for homeowners looking to add a touch of timeless elegance to their interior doors. Its key benefit is the blend of classic design with modern functionality, offering a smooth operation and durable construction. A potential caveat is that the cut-to-fit spindle requires a hacksaw for adjustment. The set features a Victorian-shaped scroll design on a backplate with a matt black finish, a solid aluminium core for strength and low weight, and a concealed spring mechanism for smooth lever return. It is suitable for timber or composite doors and includes all necessary fixings for a straightforward DIY installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of doors can I use these handles on?

These handles are designed for timber and composite interior doors that are between 35-44 mm thick and use a standard mortise latch.

Do I need any special tools to install them?

You will need a screwdriver to attach the handles and a hacksaw to cut the spindle to the correct size. All other necessary fixings are included.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The AFIT Victorian Scroll range is backed by a five-year guarantee, offering lasting style and peace of mind.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.

Can I use these handles for bathroom doors?

This is a latch set, meaning it's designed to operate a standard mortise latch. For bathroom doors, you would typically require a lockset with a privacy thumbturn, which is a different product.

What does 'latch set' mean?

A 'latch set' indicates that the handles are designed to operate a door latch mechanism, which is commonly used on interior doors that don't require a locking function.

Is the spindle included?

Yes, each pair of handles comes with a 100 mm cut-to-fit spindle.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Ensure the spindle is correctly cut and inserted. Tighten the fixing screws on the backplates securely. If the issue persists, check the door's latch mechanism for alignment.

Lever does not return to the neutral position smoothly.

Verify that the spindle is not binding and that the internal spring mechanism is not obstructed. Ensure the door latch is properly aligned and not catching on the frame.

Latch does not engage or retract properly.

Check that the spindle is correctly aligned with the latch mechanism. Ensure the latch bolt is moving freely and is not obstructed by the door frame or strike plate. Adjust the strike plate if necessary.

Spindle is too long or too short.

If too long, re-measure and cut the spindle down to the correct size with a hacksaw. If too short, and a secure fit cannot be achieved, consider purchasing a longer compatible spindle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic and elegant design that suits various decor styles.
  • Durable construction with a solid aluminium core.
  • Smooth lever operation due to the concealed spring mechanism.
  • Easy installation process with included fixings.
  • Long-lasting finish and build quality backed by a guarantee.

Cons

  • Spindle requires cutting, necessitating a hacksaw for proper fitting.
  • Latch set functionality means it's designed for doors that use a standard mortise latch, not for deadbolts or bathroom locks.
  • Matt black finish, while versatile, might show wear more readily than some other finishes if subjected to heavy abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for timber and composite doors.
  • Designed for doors with a thickness of 35-44 mm.
  • This is a latch set, intended for use with a standard mortise latch mechanism.

Setup Instructions:

  1. Measure and Cut Spindle: Determine the correct length for your door thickness. Mark the 100 mm spindle and carefully cut it to size using a hacksaw.
  2. Attach Handles: Insert the cut spindle through the door's latch mechanism. Attach the two handles to either side of the door, ensuring the levers align correctly with the spindle.
  3. Secure Backplates: Use the provided colour-matched screws to fix the backplates firmly to the door.
  4. Test Operation: Check that the lever operates smoothly and returns to the neutral position. Ensure the latch engages and disengages correctly.

Care:

  • Clean the handles with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the matt black finish.
  • Periodically check that screws remain tight and re-tighten if necessary.
