FAQs
What is included in the fixing kit?
The kit includes the door handles, backplates, a heavy-duty sash lock with an anti-rattle adjustable keep, screws, and a 100mm spindle that can be cut to size.
Can these handles be used on exterior doors?
These handles are primarily designed for internal doors. For exterior doors, specific weather-resistant hardware is generally recommended.
How do I determine the correct spindle length?
Measure the thickness of your door. The spindle needs to pass through the door and connect securely to both handles. You will cut the provided 100mm spindle to achieve the correct length, ensuring it protrudes slightly into each handle for a firm grip.
Are these handles suitable for fire doors?
Information regarding fire door suitability is not provided. Please consult relevant safety standards or specifications if fire door compliance is required.
How do I maintain the matt black finish?
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
Can I use these handles on a door that opens to the left or right?
Yes, the Olvera door handles are ambidextrous and suitable for both left-hand and right-hand opening doors.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly.
Ensure the spindle is correctly cut and secured, and that all fixing screws for the handles and backplates are tightened firmly.
Sash lock does not engage properly.
Verify that the sash lock mechanism is correctly installed and aligned with the strike plate. Adjust the keep if necessary using its adjustable feature.
Door is difficult to close or sticks.
Check for any obstructions, ensure the door is not warped, and confirm the handle and lock mechanisms are operating smoothly without binding.
Noise or rattling from the door when closed.
Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the sash lock to ensure a tighter fit against the latch bolt.
