Product Information

Full details

The AFIT Straight Locking Door Handle Set in Black is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish yet practical solution for interior doors, particularly those with traditional or vintage aesthetics. Its key benefit lies in its classic design combined with a durable, built-in spring mechanism for consistent daily use, and it includes a 3-lever sashlock and fire-rated hinges for added security and safety. A minor caveat is that the included spindle requires cutting to size, demanding a degree of DIY skill for a perfect fit.

FAQs

Is this handle set suitable for external doors?

This handle set is designed for interior doors. The 3-lever sashlock offers basic privacy and security suitable for internal use.

Do I need special tools to install this set?

You will need basic tools such as a screwdriver and potentially a saw to cut the included spindle to size. A tape measure is also recommended.

How do I determine the correct spindle length?

Measure the thickness of your door. The spindle should pass through the door with enough length to securely attach both handles, typically leaving a small amount of play for tightening.

Can the hinges be used on non-fire doors?

Yes, the included ball bearing hinges are suitable for general use on any interior door, not just fire doors.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's information for specific warranty details, as this can vary.

How should I clean the matt black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid any abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or sags

Check that the spindle is securely fastened and cut to the appropriate length. Ensure the handle screws are tightened correctly.

Lock is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the keep on the door frame is aligned correctly with the latch. Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant.

Door does not close properly

Verify that the hinges are correctly installed and aligned. Check that the keep and latch plate on the frame are aligned with the lock.
