What material is the Novi door handle set made from?

Can I install this set myself?

Yes, the Novi Door Handle Set is described as a DIY-friendly solution and includes all necessary fixings for straightforward installation.

What is the purpose of the adjustable keep?

The adjustable keep on the bathroom lock helps to minimize rattling and ensures a snug fit when the door is closed, contributing to a quieter environment.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

You will need basic tools for installation. Specifically, a tool to cut the included 100mm spindle to the correct size for your door thickness.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the polished surface. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth after cleaning.

Does the set include hinges for the door?

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Ensure the handle screws are fully tightened. If the spindle was cut, verify it is securely fitted through the lock mechanism and the handles are clamped onto it properly.

Lock mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check for any obstructions within the lock. Ensure the spindle is aligned correctly. Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary. Verify the door is not warped or misaligned, causing undue pressure on the lock.

Door does not close properly or latch securely.

Adjust the keep on the door frame to align with the latch bolt. Ensure the door hinges are properly installed and the door is hanging straight. The door frame itself might need adjustment.

Handle does not spring back to the neutral position.

The internal spring mechanism might be obstructed or damaged. Ensure the spindle is rotating freely within the lock. If the issue persists, the lock mechanism may need replacement.
