Product Information

Full details

The AFIT Door Handle Euro Cylinder Lock and Hinge Kit is an ideal hardware solution for property managers, office administrators, and homeowners looking for a heavy-duty, accessible door security system. Its standout feature is the integrated spring-loaded return mechanism that keeps the lever flush to the backplate, effectively preventing snagging on clothing or bags in high-traffic areas. While it offers excellent durability and compliance with BS8300 accessibility standards, users should note it is strictly intended for internal or controlled doors with a thickness range of 35-44mm.

FAQs

Does this kit come with everything needed for a new door install?

Yes, it includes the handles, euro profile lock, thumb turn cylinder, escutcheons, ball-bearing hinges, and all necessary fixings.

Is this handle suitable for external doors?

This kit is designed for high-traffic internal doors. While robust, check your security requirements if installing on an external entrance.

Can I use this on a door thinner than 35mm?

No, the components are calibrated for doors between 35mm and 44mm. Using it on thinner doors may result in loose fittings.

What does BS8300 compliance mean for the user?

It means the handle is designed to be accessible for people with limited dexterity or physical disabilities, ensuring ease of grip and operation.

Do I need special tools for installation?

You will need standard carpentry tools such as a drill, screwdriver, and a chisel for setting the hinges and the mortise lock.

Troubleshooting

The lever handle does not return to the flush position.

Check that the door is not binding on the frame and that the handle mounting screws are not overtightened, which can put strain on the internal spring.

The key or thumb turn feels stiff inside the cylinder.

Ensure the lock body is aligned correctly and not being squeezed by the mortise cutout. Apply a small amount of graphite or dry lubricant to the keyway.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive kit includes all necessary installation components
  • Safe, snag-free lever design

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation

Ensure your door thickness falls within the 35-44mm range. Use the provided 78mm euro profile lock and ensure the 57mm backset aligns with your existing door preparation. The kit comes with all required fixings; it is recommended to use a template for the escutcheons to ensure perfect alignment.

Compatibility

  • Door Thickness: 35-44mm
  • Cylinder: 35/35mm Euro Profile Thumb Turn
  • Backset: 57mm

Care and Maintenance

To maintain the silver finish and the spring mechanism, wipe the lever periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may degrade the protective finish. If the lever begins to feel stiff after several years of heavy use, a light application of dry silicone lubricant inside the hinge pivots and lock mechanism is recommended.
