FAQs

What is the finish of the door handle?

The door handle set features a satin brass finish, offering a stylish and understated look.

Is this handle set suitable for both left and right-handed doors?

Yes, the design of the sash lock and handles makes this set suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors.

What is included in the set?

The set includes a pair of twisted handles on a backplate, a heavy-duty sash lock with an adjustable keep, a 100mm spindle (cuttable), and all necessary fixings for installation.

Do I need to buy additional parts for installation?

No, all necessary fixings are included in the set to facilitate installation. You will need basic tools like a screwdriver and a saw for cutting the spindle.

How should I clean and maintain the satin brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve the finish. Dry immediately after cleaning.

What is the purpose of the adjustable keep?

The adjustable keep on the sash lock is designed to reduce rattling and ensure a snug fit when the door is closed, contributing to a quieter and more secure environment.

Can the spindle be used on any door thickness?

The included 100mm spindle can be cut to size, making it suitable for most standard door thicknesses. Ensure accurate measurement before cutting.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly

Ensure the spindle is correctly seated and the handle screws are fully tightened. Check if the spindle was cut to the correct length for a snug fit.

Sash lock does not engage properly

Verify that the adjustable keep on the door frame is correctly aligned with the lock bolt. Adjust the keep as needed. Ensure the lock mechanism itself is correctly installed within the door.

Door does not close quietly or rattles

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame to ensure it provides sufficient contact with the latch or bolt when the door is closed.

Spindle is too long or too short after cutting

Re-measure the required spindle length carefully and cut a new section from the provided spindle, or if too short, ensure the lock mechanism and handles are correctly positioned. You may need to purchase a replacement spindle if the original cannot be adequately cut.
