FAQs
What is included in the pack?
Each pair includes two door handles, a heavy-duty sash lock with an anti-rattle adjustable keep, a 100mm spindle, and all necessary fixing screws and bolts for installation.
Can these handles be used on external doors?
These handles are primarily designed for internal doors. While durable, they may not offer the same level of security or weather resistance required for external applications.
How do I determine the correct backset for my door?
The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the spindle hole. Measure this distance on your existing door preparation to ensure compatibility with the included sash lock.
Is the spindle length fixed?
No, the included 100mm spindle can be cut to size using a hacksaw to ensure a precise and secure fit for your specific door thickness.
Can this handle set be used on doors that open inwards or outwards?
Yes, the included heavy-duty sash lock is designed to be suitable for both left-hand and right-hand opening doors.
How do I clean the polished chrome finish?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the polished surface.
What is the benefit of the anti-rattle adjustable keep?
The anti-rattle adjustable keep helps to secure the latch bolt more firmly, reducing noise and rattling when the door is closed or subject to movement.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly
Ensure all screws securing the handles and lock mechanism are fully tightened. Check that the spindle is correctly seated and adequately secured within the handles.
Latch does not retract or extend smoothly
Verify that the spindle is aligned correctly with the lock mechanism. Ensure the spindle was cut to the correct length and is not binding. Check that the sash lock is properly installed and not obstructed.
Door does not close properly or the latch doesn't align with the keep
Adjust the position of the strike plate on the door frame. If using the adjustable keep, ensure it is correctly positioned to align with the latch bolt.
Handle is stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions within the lock mechanism or around the spindle. Ensure the spindle was cut to the correct length and is not causing any friction. The built-in spring mechanism may require time to settle with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack all components, ensuring the handle pair, sash lock, spindle, and all screws are present.
Disassemble your old handle set and remove the existing lock and spindle.
Insert the new sash lock into the door, ensuring the latch bolt is oriented correctly for the door's swing direction.
Insert the new spindle through the lock mechanism from one side of the door.
Important: Measure the required spindle length and cut it to size if necessary using a hacksaw. Ensure it extends sufficiently to connect securely to the internal mechanism of both handles.
Attach the handles to the door, aligning them with the spindle and lock mechanism.
Secure the handles and lock using the provided screws.
Attach the strike plate to the door frame.
Compatibility:
Suitable for standard internal doors. Ensure the backset of the sash lock (distance from the edge of the door to the center of the spindle hole) matches your door preparation.
The included sash lock is designed for doors that open both left and right.
Care:
Clean the polished chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
