FAQs

What type of doors can these handles be fitted to?

These handles are designed for standard internal doors and are suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Basic DIY tools are typically required, including a screwdriver and potentially a saw to cut the spindle to size if needed. A drill might be necessary for new installations.

How do I clean and maintain the polished brass finish?

Clean the handles with a soft, damp cloth and dry them thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the polished finish.

What is included in the fixing kit?

The kit includes all necessary screws, the tubular latch, the anti-rattle adjustable keep, and a 100mm spindle that can be cut to size.

Can the spindle be replaced if it's the wrong size?

Yes, the included spindle is designed to be cut. If a different length is required, standard spindles are readily available at hardware stores.

Are these handles suitable for exterior doors?

These handles are primarily designed for internal use. For exterior doors, it's recommended to use hardware specifically rated for outdoor conditions.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly

Ensure all screws on the backplate are tightened securely. If the spindle is too short, it may need replacing with a longer one, or ensure it's fully engaged with both handles.

Latch does not retract or extend smoothly

Check for obstructions in the latch hole or the keep. Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned and the handles are properly seated. Lubricate the latch mechanism with a light household oil if necessary.

Door does not close securely or rattles

Adjust the position or depth of the anti-rattle keep on the door frame. Ensure the strike plate aligns correctly with the latch bolt.

Spring mechanism feels stiff or doesn't return the handle properly

The internal spring may require lubrication. Apply a small amount of light household oil to the spindle and moving parts of the handle mechanism. If the issue persists, the mechanism might be faulty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack: Ensure all parts are present: handles, backplates, latch, keep, spindle, and screws.

  3. Adjust Spindle: Measure the required length for your door thickness and cut the 100mm spindle if necessary.
  4. Install Latch: Insert the tubular latch into the door edge and secure it.
  5. Attach Handles: Slide one handle through the spindle, then attach the second handle. Secure the handles to the backplates using the provided screws.
  6. Install Keep: Attach the anti-rattle keep to the door frame.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for standard internal doors.
  • Designed for both left and right-hand opening doors.
  • The spindle is adjustable to fit doors of various standard thicknesses.

Care:

  • Clean the polished brass finish with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
  • Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.
