FAQs
What is included with the Designer Levers Victorian Scroll Door Handles?
Each box includes a pair of handles (for one door), all necessary fixing screws, and an 8mm spindle bar for installation.
Do these handles come with a lock?
No, these handles feature a keyhole on the backplate but require a separate mortice sashlock (sold separately) to provide actual locking functionality.
What type of doors are these handles suitable for?
They are suitable for solid interior doors with a thickness between 30mm and 45mm.
What material are the handles made from?
The handles are constructed from durable zinc alloy, ensuring long-lasting reliability.
How do I clean and maintain these door handles?
To clean, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve the satin chrome finish.
What is the warranty period for these handles?
The handles come with a 10-year mechanical guarantee, based on 100,000 cycles of use.
What are the dimensions of the handles?
The backplate measures 152mm in length and 42mm in width. The lever length is 97mm, and the projection from the door is 53mm.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly after installation.
Carefully tighten the fixing screws on both sides of the backplate. Avoid over-tightening, but ensure they are snug to secure the handles firmly to the door.
Lever does not return to the horizontal position smoothly.
Check that the 8mm spindle is correctly aligned and inserted without obstruction. Ensure no screws are impeding the internal mechanism of the handle or the mortice lock. Lubricate the mortice lock mechanism if necessary (mortice lock sold separately).
Keyhole lock function is not working.
Confirm that a compatible mortice sashlock has been correctly installed within the door, as these handles do not include the locking mechanism itself. Ensure the keyhole in the handle's backplate aligns with the key mechanism of the mortice lock.

Setup Instructions:
Prepare the Door: Ensure your door has the necessary holes for the spindle and fixings. If replacing existing handles, remove the old hardware.
Install Mortice Lock (If applicable): If you require a lock function, install your mortice sashlock into the door edge first (sold separately).
Insert Spindle: Slide the `8mm spindle` through the square hole of the mortice lock (or the prepared hole if no lock) from one side of the door.
Attach Handles: Place one handle onto the spindle from each side of the door, aligning the `backplate` with the pre-drilled holes or marking new ones.
Secure Fixings: Use the `included fixing screws` to firmly attach both handles to the door. Ensure they are tightened evenly to prevent wobbling.
Test Operation: Check that the handle levers operate smoothly and return to their original position. If using a mortice lock, test the key function.
Compatibility:
Door Type: Suitable exclusively for `solid interior doors`.
Door Thickness: Designed for doors with a thickness between `30mm and 45mm`.
Lock System: Requires a `separate mortice sashlock` (not included) for locking functionality.
Care & Maintenance:
Cleaning: Wipe the handles regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping dry immediately.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical-based polishes, as these can damage the `satin chrome finish` and `zinc alloy` material.
Regular Check: Periodically check the tightness of the fixing screws to ensure the handles remain securely attached to the door.
