FAQs

What type of lock mechanism does this handle require?

This is a lever on a lock backplate, meaning it requires a standard UK mortise lock to be fitted into the door. The handle operates the latch and the spindle connects to the lock mechanism.

Is this handle suitable for exterior doors?

This handle is designed for interior doors. For exterior doors, it is recommended to use hardware specifically rated for outdoor conditions.

What are the dimensions of the backplate and lever?

The backplate measures 170mm in length and 42mm in width, with a thickness of 10mm. The lever itself is 110mm long, and the handle projects 70mm from the door surface.

What does 'Fire Door Rated' mean for this product?

It means the handle has been tested and certified to be used on fire doors, contributing to the door's ability to resist fire for a specified period, helping to maintain safety.

How do I maintain the Satin Chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to preserve the finish.

What is covered by the 10-year mechanical guarantee?

The 10-year mechanical guarantee covers defects in the manufacturing and materials of the internal mechanical components of the handle, ensuring its operational longevity.

Are matching accessories available?

Yes, matching accessories are typically available. It's recommended to check the 'Related Products' section or contact the supplier for specific matching items like other door furniture or hinges in the same range.

Troubleshooting

Lever feels stiff or doesn't return properly

Check that the spindle is correctly aligned and that the lock mechanism is not binding. Ensure screws are not overtightened, preventing free movement.

Satin Chrome finish appears dull or tarnished

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Dry thoroughly. Avoid using metal polish which can be too abrasive for satin finishes.

Handle is loose on the door

Tighten the fixing screws on the backplate. If the screws are stripped, consider using larger screws or wood filler for a secure fit.

Door won't lock correctly

Ensure the correct lock mechanism is installed and functioning. Check for any obstructions in the door or frame that might prevent the lock from engaging fully.
