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?

Basic DIY tools like a screwdriver are essential. You will also need a saw suitable for metal to cut the spindle to size.

How do I determine the correct spindle length?

Measure the thickness of your door. The spindle needs to pass through the door, allowing for the thickness of both handles and the lock mechanism. The included 100mm spindle is designed to be cut down for a precise fit.

Is the matt black finish durable?

The matt black finish is designed for durability in daily use and offers some resistance to smudges. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth will maintain its appearance.

Can this handle set be used on doors that open outwards (left and right-hand)?

Yes, the design is suitable for both left-hand and right-hand opening doors.

What type of lock is included?

A Euro profile lock and cylinder are included, featuring anti-drill and anti-pick technology for enhanced security.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or sags

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.

Door does not close properly

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame to ensure proper latch engagement. Check if the door hinges are aligned and functioning smoothly.

Handle mechanism is stiff

Check for any binding caused by incorrect spindle length or misalignment. Ensure the internal spring mechanism is not obstructed.
