FAQs

What type of doors can these handles be used on?

These handles are designed for internal doors, such as those found in bathrooms, bedrooms, or living areas. They are not suitable for external doors.

Do these handles come with a latch mechanism?

The handles are supplied with all necessary fixings and an adjustable spindle. However, the door latch mechanism itself is typically not included and may need to be purchased separately if not already present.

How do I maintain the antique brass finish?

To maintain the antique brass finish, clean only with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can remove the desired antique effect. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

Is the spindle length fixed?

No, the included 100mm spindle is designed to be cut to size. This allows for a secure and customized fit on doors of varying thicknesses.

Are these handles suitable for very old doors?

Yes, the adjustable spindle can accommodate different door thicknesses, making them adaptable for many older doors. The classic design also complements traditional properties.

What is the benefit of the built-in spring mechanism?

The built-in spring mechanism helps to support the handle and prevent it from sagging over time, ensuring it returns to its original position after use and maintains a comfortable feel during operation.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Ensure the spindle is correctly inserted and the fixing screws are tightened securely. If the spindle is too long, it may need to be trimmed.

Handle does not return to its original position.

Check that the spring mechanism is not obstructed and that the spindle is correctly aligned with the latch. Ensure no debris is impeding movement.

Finish appears dull or tarnished.

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Difficulty installing the spindle.

Confirm the spindle is oriented correctly through the door latch. If the door is thicker than standard, ensure the spindle is cut to the appropriate length.
