Product Information

Full details

This Designer Levers Oval Mortice Doorknob in polished chrome is ideal for homeowners looking to update their interior doors with a blend of classic and contemporary style. Its primary benefit is the durable zinc construction combined with an easy-to-operate unsprung mechanism, offering a smooth and accessible user experience. A minor consideration is the need for specific compatible latches or locks, which are sold separately. Key features include a stylish oval design, robust zinc build, corrosion resistance, an unsprung mechanism for ease of use, and a 10-year mechanical guarantee.

FAQs

What is an unsprung doorknob?

An unsprung doorknob has a mechanism that requires less spring resistance to operate, making it easier to turn. It typically relies on the sprung mechanism of the mortice lock it's paired with to return the handle to its original position.

Do I need to buy a lock or latch separately?

Yes, this doorknob set is designed to be used with a compatible mortice lock or tubular latch. You will need to purchase a suitable 75mm latch or lock based on your door's requirements (e.g., passage, bathroom, or locking door).

What is included in the box?

The set includes one pair of oval mortice doorknobs (for both sides of one door), an 8mm spindle, and all the necessary screws for installation.

Can this doorknob be used on an exterior door?

No, this doorknob is specifically designed for internal use only and is not weatherproof or suitable for exterior doors.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and then polish with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What is the guarantee on this product?

The doorknob comes with a 10-year mechanical guarantee, covering defects in the mechanism for normal use.

What size latch or lock do I need?

You will need a 75mm mortice lock or tubular latch for this doorknob to function correctly.

Troubleshooting

Doorknob feels stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned and the fixing screws are not overtightened, which can bind the mechanism. Check that the compatible mortice lock or latch is functioning smoothly.

Doorknob does not return to its original position.

Verify that the door is not warped or sticking in the frame. Ensure the unsprung mechanism has adequate clearance and is not obstructed by the lock or door hardware.

Chrome finish appears dull or tarnished.

Clean the doorknob with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Polish with a dry, soft cloth to restore shine. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This doorknob set is designed for straightforward installation and includes a pair of knobs, an 8mm spindle, and all necessary screws. It is typically fitted to doors where a mortice lock or latch has already been installed.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a 75mm tubular latch, 75mm bathroom mortice lock (with a thumbturn), or a 75mm mortice lock (with an escutcheon plate). These are sold separately.
  • Compatible with standard internal doors.
  • Not suitable for external use.

Care:

To maintain the polished chrome finish, regularly wipe the doorknob with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
