Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this set come with a latch?

No, the tubular latch is sold separately and must be compatible with standard Victorian knob spindle sizes.

What is the warranty period?

The product includes a 10-year mechanical guarantee based on 100,000 operational cycles.

Will this fit a hollow-core door?

This product is designed for solid doors with a thickness between 30mm and 45mm.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

This specific version is for latch-only operation. For bathroom privacy, consider the Victorian Thumb Lock Bathroom Door Knob variant.

What are the dimensions of the backplate?

The backplate length is 152mm and the width is 42mm.

Is the finish resistant to rust?

Yes, the product is built with corrosion-resistant materials suitable for standard indoor environments.

Troubleshooting

Knob feels loose after installation

Check that the spindle bar is centered correctly and that all fixing screws are tightened firmly into the door material.

Knob does not rotate or latch correctly

Ensure the tubular latch (sold separately) is aligned perfectly with the spindle bar; misalignment often prevents smooth rotation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, versatile Victorian aesthetic
  • Extremely durable with a 10-year mechanical guarantee
  • Corrosion-resistant silver finish
  • Straightforward installation process for DIY enthusiasts

Cons

  • Tubular latch must be purchased separately
  • Not intended for very thin or extremely thick door types
  • Limited to interior latch-operated doors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is designed to be user-friendly; ensure your door is solid and falls within the 30-45mm thickness range. You will need a screwdriver and a drill for the pilot holes. To install, align the backplates on either side of the door, insert the spindle bar through the (separately purchased) tubular latch, and secure with the provided screws. Regarding care, the silver finish is low-maintenance. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe away fingerprints or dust regularly. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the finish and expose the underlying material to potential corrosion.
