FAQs
What type of doors can these handles be fitted to?
These handles are suitable for most standard internal and external wooden doors. The latch mechanism and fitting hardware are designed for typical door constructions.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Basic tools such as a screwdriver (often Phillips head), a measuring tape, and potentially a drill for pilot holes or to enlarge the latch hole are typically required for installation.
How do I clean the bronze finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth and drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is the latch mechanism reversible for left or right-handed doors?
Yes, the included heavy-duty tubular latch is designed to be suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors.
What is the purpose of the adjustable keep?
The adjustable keep is fitted to the door frame and helps to reduce rattling by allowing you to fine-tune the fit against the latch bolt, ensuring a quieter door closure.
How do I adjust the spindle length?
The spindle is designed to be cut-to-size. You will need to measure the thickness of your door and cut the spindle to the appropriate length before installation.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly
Check and tighten the grub screws located on the underside of the lever handles. Ensure the back-to-back bolts are also securely fastened.
Latch mechanism is stiff or does not retract fully
Ensure the latch is correctly aligned with the strike plate on the door frame. Check for any obstructions in the door edge hole or on the latch bolt itself. Lubrication with a dry lubricant may help.
Door does not close smoothly
Verify that the latch and keep are properly aligned. Ensure the door hinges are not binding. The door itself might be warped or rubbing against the frame.
Adjustable keep is rattling
Loosen the keep slightly and adjust its position for a tighter fit against the latch bolt. Retighten securely.
