FAQs
What type of doors are these handles suitable for?
These handles are designed for standard internal doors, including those for bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas. They are suitable for both new installations and replacements.
Do I need to buy any extra hardware?
No, each pair comes with all the necessary fixings, including screws, a tubular latch, and a 100mm spindle, for a complete installation.
Can these handles be used on exterior doors?
While durable for indoor use, these handles are primarily intended for internal doors. For exterior doors, specific weather-resistant hardware is recommended.
How do I determine if I need a left or right-hand set?
The included tubular latch is reversible, meaning these handles can be used on both left and right-hand opening doors without needing a specific handed set.
What is the warranty period for these door handles?
Specific warranty details are not provided in the product description, but typically, such hardware comes with a manufacturer's warranty against defects.
How do I clean the polished chrome finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish. Dry with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly.
Ensure all backplate screws are tightened securely. If the spindle is too short, it may not engage both handles properly; adjust or replace as needed.
Latch doesn't retract or extend smoothly.
Check for obstructions in the door or frame. Ensure the latch mechanism is correctly aligned and that the spindle moves freely through the guides.
Door doesn't close securely or rattles.
Adjust the position of the keep on the door frame. The anti-rattle feature can be fine-tuned by slightly altering the keep's placement or tightening its screws.
Difficulty installing the spindle.
If the included spindle is too long, carefully cut it to the required size using a saw. Ensure the cut is clean and deburred before installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure you have basic tools such as a screwdriver and a saw (if spindle adjustment is needed). Follow the included instructions, attaching the latch mechanism first, then the handles. The spindle passes through the door and connects the two handles, secured by screws into the backplates.
Compatibility: These handles are designed for standard internal doors. The included tubular latch is suitable for doors with a thickness typically between 35mm and 50mm, adjustable via the spindle length. They are compatible with both left and right-hand opening doors due to the reversible latch.
Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth.
