FAQs

What type of lock mechanism does this set use?

This set uses a Euro profile lock and cylinder, known for its security features.

Is this handle set suitable for external doors?

Yes, the robust design and security features make it suitable for external doors, provided it is maintained according to care instructions.

How do I cut the spindle to size?

The spindle is typically made of metal and can be cut using a hacksaw. Measure the required length carefully before cutting.

Can I replace just the lock cylinder if needed?

Yes, the Euro profile cylinder is designed to be replaceable, allowing you to upgrade or replace it if necessary.

What is the advantage of the anti-rattle keep?

The anti-rattle keep helps to secure the door more snugly against the frame, preventing movement and noise when the door is closed.

Does the matt black finish require special cleaning products?

It is best to use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the matt finish.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels stiff or doesn't return properly.

Ensure the spindle is not binding and the internal spring mechanism is clear of debris. Check that the lock cylinder is correctly aligned.

Door rattles when closed.

Adjust the position of the anti-rattle keep on the door frame until the rattling noise is eliminated.

Lock cylinder is difficult to turn.

Ensure the correct key is being used and that it is fully inserted. Check for any obstructions in the keyway. The lock may need lubrication with a graphite-based lubricant specifically designed for locks.

Fixings feel loose after installation.

Carefully re-tighten all screws. Ensure the spindle is securely fastened if it was cut to size.

  1. Ensure you have the necessary tools, typically a screwdriver and potentially a saw for the spindle.
  2. Follow the included diagram to position the backplates and attach the handles.
  3. Install the lock cylinder and connect the spindle through the latch mechanism.
  4. Attach the keep to the door frame, adjusting its position for optimal alignment and to eliminate rattling.

Care:
