FAQs

What material are the AFIT door handles made from?

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

Is this handle set suitable for external doors?

This handle set is primarily designed for internal doors. For external use, consult product specifications or consider hardware specifically rated for exterior conditions.

Do I need to buy a separate latch mechanism?

No, each pack includes a heavy-duty tubular latch, all necessary fixings, and a spindle.

How do I know if this handle will fit my door?

The pack includes a cut-to-size spindle and a universal latch suitable for most standard internal doors. Ensure your door has the correct preparation for a mortise lock.

How should I clean and maintain the antique black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish. Mild soap can be used if necessary, followed by drying.

Can this handle set be used on doors that open inwards and outwards?

Yes, the included latch is suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors, meaning it can be used on doors that open inwards or outwards depending on your setup.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation

Ensure the spindle is correctly seated and the handle screws are fully tightened. Check if the spindle needs to be cut to a shorter length for a more secure fit.

Latch does not retract or extend smoothly

Verify that the latch is installed correctly and that the spindle is properly aligned. Check for any obstructions in the latch mechanism or door edge.

Door does not close properly

Adjust the position of the anti-rattle keep on the door frame to ensure the latch engages correctly. Ensure the door itself is not warped or binding.

The black finish appears worn

Clean the handle with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For significant wear, touch-up paint designed for metal finishes may be considered, though results may vary.
