FAQs
Does this set work on bathroom doors?
This set includes a sash lock; if you require a privacy function, you would typically need a separate bathroom thumb-turn lock compatible with the handle style.
Can I use these handles on exterior doors?
These are primarily designed for interior use to maintain the finish and structural integrity of the spring mechanism.
Are the hinges included in the box?
Yes, the kit comes complete with smooth ball-bearing hinges.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will generally need a screwdriver, a drill with appropriate bits, and a hacksaw for the spindle.
Is the handle finish weather-resistant?
The silver finish is intended for internal environments. Prolonged exposure to moisture or extreme temperature changes is not recommended.
Troubleshooting
Handle does not return to the horizontal position
Check that the spindle is not too long, which can bind the mechanism, and ensure the mounting screws are not overtightened.
Door rattles when closed
Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the sash lock to ensure a tighter fit between the latch and the strike plate.
Handle feels stiff
Ensure the handle plates are perfectly aligned and not skewed during installation, which can cause internal friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation
- Measure the thickness of your door to determine how much of the 100mm spindle needs to be removed.
- Use a hacksaw to cut the spindle to the required length, ensuring edges are deburred for smooth insertion.
- Position the backplates and secure them using the provided fixings.
- Install the sash lock into the door edge and ensure the keep is aligned with the latch plate.
- Test the handle action before fully tightening all mounting screws.
Compatibility
The set is compatible with standard internal wooden doors. It is suitable for both new builds and renovation projects where standard door cutouts are present.
Care
Clean the silver finish using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the plating. Periodically check the screw fixings to ensure they remain tight after the initial "settling-in" period of the door.
