Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Astrid Door Handle Pack in Silver is designed for multi-occupancy properties, offering a complete solution with handles, a euro cylinder, lock, and hinges. Its key benefit is providing a unified and secure door hardware set for multiple units. A potential consideration is that the finish is a blend of polished and satin chrome, which may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose
Check and tighten the grub screws or fixing screws securing the handle to the spindle.
Lock is stiff or won't turn
Ensure the euro cylinder is correctly aligned and not obstructed. Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant specifically designed for locks.
Door doesn't close properly
Check hinge alignment and adjust if necessary. Ensure the latch bolt is retracting fully when the handle is operated.
Hinges squeak
Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the hinge pins.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the door is prepared with the correct cut-outs for the lock and hinges.
- Install the lock case first, securing it into the door edge.
- Fit the euro cylinder into the lock case, ensuring it is correctly aligned and fixed.
- Attach the door handles to the spindle, passing through the door and securing them as per the included instructions.
- Install the hinges onto the door and frame.
Compatibility:
This pack is designed for standard internal doors, particularly those found in multi-occupancy dwellings. It uses a standard euro cylinder profile, compatible with most modern lock mechanisms. Ensure your door thickness and backset measurements align with the specifications of the lock and handles provided.
Care:
To maintain the finish, regularly wipe the handles and lock with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the chrome plating. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth. Periodically check that screws and fittings remain tight.
