FAQs

What are the dimensions of the backplate?

The backplates measure 150mm x 150mm.

Is the lock suitable for external doors?

This set is described as a bathroom door handle set, suggesting it is intended for internal use. It does not specify external security features.

Can I use this set on a door that opens to the left?

Do I need to buy separate hinges?

Are the hinges suitable for fire doors?

How do I clean the polished brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically for brass. Avoid abrasive materials.

What is the purpose of the adjustable keep?

The adjustable keep on the lock helps to ensure a snug fit against the door frame, reducing rattle and ensuring smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or stiff.

Check that the spindle is correctly inserted through both backplates and securely fastened. Ensure the spring mechanism is not obstructed.

Lock does not engage smoothly.

Verify that the lock is correctly aligned within the door and that the keep is properly positioned on the door frame. Ensure the adjustable keep is not overly tightened.

Hinges squeak.

Apply a small amount of lubricant to the hinge pins. If the issue persists, check for any obstructions or damage.

Door does not close properly.

Adjust the position of the keep on the door frame. Ensure the door itself is not warped and the hinges are properly aligned.

Handle does not return to position.

The internal spring mechanism may be damaged or obstructed. Inspect for debris or consider replacing the handle set.
