FAQs

What tools are needed for installation?

Typically, you will need a screwdriver (Phillips and/or flathead), a measuring tape, a pencil, and potentially a drill with appropriate drill bits for pilot holes and the latch mechanism.

Can this handle set be used on an exterior door?

While designed for durability, this specific model is generally intended for interior use. Check product specifications for suitability on exterior doors which may require different security and weatherproofing features.

How do I determine if this handle is compatible with my door's existing setup?

Measure the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the spindle hole (backset) and the diameter of the holes. This set is designed for standard door preparations.

What is the warranty period for these door handles?

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information provided with the product packaging or on the AFIT website for specific details on warranty duration and coverage.

How do I clean the bronze finish without damaging it?

Use a soft, damp cloth. For dirt, use a mild soap solution and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is the latch mechanism reversible for different door orientations?

Yes, the included heavy-duty tubular latch is suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors and features an adjustable keep.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose

Check and tighten the grub screw securing the handle to the spindle. Ensure the back-to-back bolts are also securely fastened.

Latch is stiff or not retracting smoothly

Verify the latch mechanism is correctly aligned within the door stile and that no obstructions are present. Check that the spindle moves freely.

Door rattles when closed

Adjust the keep on the door frame to ensure the latch engages more snugly. The adjustable keep allows for fine-tuning.

Handle squeaks during operation

A small amount of lubrication may be applied to the spindle or pivot points of the handle mechanism, ensuring it is suitable for metal surfaces.
