FAQs

What material are these screws made of?

The screws are made of steel and finished with nickel.

What is the overall length of the bolt?

The screw (bolt) has an overall length of 99 mm.

What is the diameter of the sleeve?

The sleeve has a diameter of 5.9 mm.

What is the minimum and maximum door thickness these screws can be used with?

They are designed to suit doors from 45 mm to 100 mm thick.

Can these screws be used for exterior doors?

While the nickel finish offers some corrosion resistance, for highly exposed exterior doors, additional protection or materials designed for harsher environments might be preferable.

How many screws and sleeves are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 4 sets of M5 bolt connecting and sleeve fixing screws.

What type of screwdriver is needed for installation?

Typically, a Phillips head screwdriver is required for M5 bolts.

Troubleshooting

Screw does not tighten

Ensure the bolt is correctly threaded into the sleeve and not cross-threaded. Verify the sleeve is fully inserted and aligned.

Hardware is loose or wobbly

Check if the door thickness is within the 45mm-100mm range. Ensure the bolt is tightened sufficiently. The sleeve might not be seated properly; try re-inserting it and tightening the bolt.

Bolt is too long or too short for the door

Confirm the door thickness is compatible with the specified range. If the door is thinner than 45mm, the sleeve may not provide adequate support. If thicker than 100mm, the bolt may not engage the sleeve fully.

Nickel finish scratched during installation

Use caution and appropriate tools during installation. For minor scratches, touch-up paint or a specialized metal polish might be used, but care should be taken not to damage the surrounding finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Identify Components: Separate the M5 bolt and the sleeve.
Align Hardware: Position your door handle, lock, or other hardware on the door.
Insert Bolt: Pass the M5 bolt through the designated holes in the hardware and the door.
Position Sleeve: On the opposite side of the door, slide the sleeve over the protruding end of the bolt.
Secure: Use a compatible screwdriver (usually Phillips head) to screw the bolt into the sleeve until the hardware is firmly secured. Ensure not to overtighten, which could damage the door or hardware.

Compatibility:

Door Thickness: Suitable for doors measuring between 45mm and 100mm in thickness.
Hardware: Designed to work with components that have appropriate M5 bolt holes and can accommodate the sleeve diameter (5.9mm).
Tools: Requires a screwdriver appropriate for M5 bolts (typically Phillips head).

Care:

Wipe clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the nickel finish.
Periodically check the tightness of the screws, especially on doors that are frequently used.
