Product Information

Full details

This AFIT Stainless Steel Door Handles Kit in Silver is designed for robust, everyday use in both residential and commercial settings. Its key benefit is the return-to-door design, which keeps the lever flush when not in use, preventing snags and maintaining clear passageways. A potential consideration is the specific compatibility with 35-44mm door thicknesses, requiring verification before purchase. The kit provides a durable, accessible, and professional solution for high-traffic areas.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the return-to-door design?

The return-to-door design ensures the lever retracts flush to the rose when not in use. This prevents it from protruding into walkways, reducing the risk of snagging clothing or bags, and maintaining clear passage.

What door thickness is this kit compatible with?

This kit is compatible with doors that have a thickness ranging from 35mm to 44mm.

Does the kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, the kit comes complete with a heavy-duty euro profile lock, euro thumb turn cylinder, euro escutcheons, smooth ball bearing hinges, grub screw fixings, and back-to-back bolts for a secure fit.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

While made of durable stainless steel, the primary design focus is for internal doors in homes and commercial buildings. For exposed outdoor environments, specific marine-grade or corrosion-resistant hardware might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the stainless steel handles?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For minor marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What does BS8300 compliance mean for this product?

BS8300 compliance indicates that the product has been designed with accessibility and inclusivity in mind, aiming to make environments easier to use for people with disabilities.

Can I use this kit on a fire door?

While the hardware is robust, compatibility with fire doors depends on the specific fire door certification and local building regulations. It is recommended to consult with a fire door specialist or the door manufacturer before installation on a fire-rated door.

Troubleshooting

Handle is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned and the grub screws are not overtightened. Check that the lock mechanism is functioning smoothly and is free from debris. Verify door hinges are aligned and not binding.

Lever does not return flush to the rose.

The internal spring mechanism may be obstructed or damaged. Ensure no debris is caught around the rose or lever mechanism. If the issue persists, professional inspection may be required.

Lock mechanism is sticking.

Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray into the keyhole. Ensure no foreign objects are inside the lock cylinder. Check that the door is properly aligned and not warped, which can cause the bolt to bind.

Hinges are squeaking.

Apply a small amount of light oil or silicone spray to the hinge pins. Ensure the hinges are properly seated and all screws are tight.
