The Afit Door Handles in Bronze are designed for homeowners seeking a blend of classic style, robust performance, and straightforward installation. Offering a durable, antique brass finish with a classic curved lever, these handles provide long-lasting daily use thanks to their built-in spring mechanism. While they offer a significant aesthetic upgrade and are DIY-friendly, potential buyers should note that the bronze finish, while attractive, may require specific care to maintain its appearance over time.

These handles are suitable for most standard internal and external doors, designed for both left and right-hand opening applications.
Basic tools are required, including a screwdriver (often Phillips head), and potentially a saw or file if the included spindle needs to be cut to size for your door thickness.
Measure the thickness of your door. The spindle should extend slightly through the door's edge to connect securely to both handles, with enough length to accommodate the latch mechanism. The included spindle is cut-to-size, allowing you to adjust it.
Use a soft, damp cloth for routine cleaning. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes that might disrupt the antique finish.
Yes, the included heavy-duty tubular latch is designed to be reversible and suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors.
The anti-rattle keep is fitted to the door frame and helps to reduce noise when the door is closed by providing a snug fit for the latch bolt.
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
Check that the grub screw securing the lever to the spindle is tightened. Also, ensure the back-to-back bolts securing the rose plates are fully tightened.
Verify that the spindle is correctly aligned and not binding within the latch mechanism. Ensure the latch itself is clean and free from debris. Check that the cut spindle is not too long or too short for the door thickness.
Adjust the position of the anti-rattle keep on the door frame. Minor adjustments to the keep plate or its screws can realign the latch strike.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If significant discolouration occurs, consult the manufacturer's recommendations for restoring the finish, as aggressive cleaning may damage the antique effect.
Setup: Installation involves securing the rose plates to the door using the provided back-to-back bolts. The spindle, which may need to be cut to the correct length for your door's thickness, connects the two handles. The secure grub screw fixing ensures the spindle is firmly attached to the lever mechanism. The tubular latch is then fitted into the door edge, with the anti-rattle keep plate installed on the door frame. Ensure all fixings are tightened securely but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the door or mechanism.
Compatibility: These handles are designed for standard internal and external doors. The adjustable keep on the latch allows for some flexibility in fitting it to the door frame. The included spindle is cut-to-size, accommodating various door thicknesses within a standard range.
Care: To maintain the antique brass finish, avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. A soft, damp cloth is recommended for cleaning. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid polishing compounds unless specifically designed for antique brass finishes, as they may alter the intended patina.
