FAQs

What type of doors is this handle set suitable for?

This handle set is designed for internal doors and is suitable for both traditional and modern properties. It can be installed on doors that open to the left or right.

Do I need to buy any extra parts for installation?

No, the set comes complete with all necessary fixings, including a 100mm spindle that can be cut to size, and screws for installation.

How do I clean the antique brass finish?

Clean the antique brass finish using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Can this handle set be used on exterior doors?

This handle set is designed for internal doors. It is not recommended for exterior use due to material and finish considerations for weather resistance.

What is the purpose of the adjustable keep?

The adjustable keep is part of the lock mechanism that fits into the door frame. Adjusting it allows for a tighter fit, which helps to prevent rattling noises when the door is closed.

How do I know if the spindle will fit my door?

The included 100mm spindle is designed to be cut to size. You will need to measure your door's thickness and cut the spindle to ensure a secure and proper fit.

Is the lock mechanism a standard size?

The set includes a heavy-duty sash lock. It is designed to be installed in standard door preparations for sash locks. The dimensions are suitable for typical interior doors.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Check that the handle screws are fully tightened. Ensure the spindle is correctly seated and cut to the appropriate length for the door thickness.

Door latch doesn't engage properly with the keep.

Adjust the position of the keep on the door frame. Ensure the lock mechanism is correctly installed and aligned with the keep.

Lock mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the lock is properly aligned within the door. A small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the lock cylinder if needed, but avoid oil-based lubricants.

Rattling noise when the door is closed.

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame to provide a tighter fit for the latch. Ensure all fixings are secure.
