FAQs

Can I use these on my front door?

No, these are designed for internal doors only and do not provide the necessary security features or weather resistance for exterior use.

Does the set come with both sides of the door?

Yes, each purchase includes a pair of handles for both sides of one internal door.

Do I need special tools to install these?

You will generally need a screwdriver and a hacksaw to cut the spindle to the correct length for your specific door thickness.

Will these fit a door with a privacy lock?

No, this is a latch-only set. It is not designed to accommodate privacy thumb-turns or key-operated locks.

How do I measure for the spindle?

Measure the total thickness of your door and add the required clearance for the handles, then cut the spindle to that length.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation

Check that the spindle is firmly seated and the mounting screws are tightened completely. Ensure the backplate is flush against the door.

Handle does not return to a level position

Ensure the internal spring mechanism is not obstructed by debris or improper installation of the spindle. Check that the door latch itself is not sticking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic, versatile design suitable for any room
  • Built-in spring mechanism prevents sagging
  • Comprehensive hardware kit included for quick installation
  • Adjustable spindle accommodates different door depths

Cons

  • Design is strictly for latching doors, not suitable for keyed entry
  • Gold finish requires occasional polishing to maintain shine
  • Not intended for external door use due to weather exposure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation follows a standard process: verify your door latch hole is aligned, insert the spindle, position the backplates, and secure with the provided screws.

Compatibility: This handle is designed for standard internal latching doors. Ensure your existing latch mechanism is compatible with the backplate dimensions before purchase.

Care: To maintain the gold finish, wipe the handles periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or steel wool, as these can strip the finish and cause permanent damage to the brass surface.
