FAQs

What material are the Fleur De Lys door handles made from?

The handles are made from solid cast iron with a black powder coating finish.

Are these handles suitable for external doors?

While durable, the black powder coating finish is best suited for internal doors to preserve its appearance. For external use, consider handles specifically designed for outdoor conditions.

What is included in the package?

Each pair comes with the door handles, all necessary fixings, and a 100mm spindle that can be cut to size.

How long is the spindle?

The included spindle is 100mm long and is designed to be cut to the appropriate length for your door's thickness.

Can I paint these handles a different color?

While technically possible, painting over the powder coating may affect the durability and aesthetic. It is recommended to use them as intended or consult with a professional for custom finishing.

How do I clean the black antique finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth for routine cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to protect the powder coating.

Are these handles spring-loaded?

Yes, they are designed with a built-in spring mechanism to ensure smooth operation and return action.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Ensure all screws are tightened securely. Check that the spindle is correctly seated and the handles are firmly attached to it.

Handle mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Verify the spindle is straight and not binding within the door. Check for any obstructions or debris in the lock mechanism itself. Ensure the internal spring mechanism is not damaged.

Black coating appears to be chipping or scratching.

This may indicate excessive force during installation or cleaning. Review care instructions and avoid abrasive materials. For minor chips, touch-up paint might be an option if available from the manufacturer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid cast iron build for longevity.
  • Authentic period design enhances traditional properties.
  • Includes all necessary fixings for a complete installation.
  • Spring mechanism ensures smooth and reliable operation.
  • Easy DIY installation process.

Cons

  • Black powder coating may require careful cleaning to avoid damage.
  • Designed for specific aesthetic; may not suit modern décors.
  • Spindle requires cutting to size, an extra step in installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have the necessary tools (screwdriver, measuring tape, possibly a saw for the spindle).
  2. Disassemble the old handle mechanism if replacing.
  3. Insert the new spindle through the door.
  4. Attach the handles to the spindle, ensuring they are oriented correctly.
  5. Secure the handles using the provided screws and backplates.
  6. Adjust and tighten components for a firm fit.

Compatibility:

These handles are designed for standard internal doors with a typical mortise lock setup. The included 100mm spindle can be cut to match the thickness of your specific door, offering broad compatibility for most residential applications. They are best suited for doors where a traditional or period aesthetic is desired.

Care:

To maintain the antique black powder coating finish, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the coating. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth and drying thoroughly.
