FAQs
What is included in the installation kit?
The kit includes a cut-to-size spindle, secure grub screw fixings, back-to-back bolts, and the necessary hardware for the sash lock and keep.
Can this handle be used on an exterior door?
While durable, this model is primarily designed for interior use. For exterior doors, consider hardware specifically rated for outdoor conditions.
How do I determine if my door is compatible?
The handle is compatible with standard internal doors (35-45mm thick) that have the necessary bore holes for a mortise lock and spindle. Check your door's existing preparation.
Is the lock reversible for left or right-hand doors?
Yes, the sash lock and handle design are ambidextrous and suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors.
How do I maintain the polished chrome finish?
Regularly wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching.
What is the purpose of the anti-rattle adjustable keep?
The anti-rattle keep helps to reduce noise and door movement by providing an adjustable snug fit for the latch bolt against the door frame.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly.
Ensure the grub screws are tightened securely onto the spindle. Check that the back-to-back bolts are fully tightened through the door.
Door does not latch properly.
Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame to ensure it aligns correctly with the latch bolt. Ensure the lock mechanism itself is functioning smoothly.
Lever is stiff or difficult to operate.
Verify that the spindle is correctly seated within the lock mechanism and not obstructed. Check for any debris within the lock case.
The polished chrome finish appears dull or smudged.
Clean the handle with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Use a specific chrome polish if necessary, following product instructions.
