FAQs
What is included in the set?
The set typically includes two door handles on backplates, a Euro profile lock and cylinder, a spindle, all necessary screws, and an adjustable keep.
Can I use this set on an exterior door?
While designed with security features, this set is primarily intended for interior doors. For exterior doors, always consult local building codes and security requirements.
Do I need special tools for installation?

Ensure the spindle is correctly seated and the handle screws are fully tightened. Check if the spindle was cut to the appropriate length.
Lock is difficult to operate
Verify the lock case is correctly aligned within the door. Ensure no obstructions are present in the keyhole or bolt mechanism. Check the keep and latch alignment.
