FAQs
Can I use this handle on an exterior door?
No, the Kempston Lever Lock is designed specifically for interior use and is not rated for weather resistance.
Does this handle come with a lock?
The handle includes the lever and backplate set with necessary fixings, but it requires a separate mortice lock purchase for the latching mechanism.
What is the warranty period?
This product includes a 10-year mechanical guarantee based on 100,000 operational cycles.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will generally need a screwdriver, a tape measure, and a drill to prepare the mounting holes if they do not already exist.
Is the finish resistant to scratches?
The dual-tone finish is primarily designed to resist fingerprints and marks, but like all finishes, it should be kept free of abrasive materials.
Will this fit a 50mm thick door?
No, this specific model is designed for doors with a thickness range of 30mm to 45mm.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after installation
Check that the spindle bar is centered correctly and ensure all mounting screws on the backplate are tightened securely.
Lever does not return to a horizontal position
Verify that the door mortice lock is properly aligned and that the spring mechanism inside the handle assembly is not obstructed by wood debris from the door cutout.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Compatible only with interior doors

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper function, verify that your door thickness is between 30mm and 45mm. The handle is designed to be paired with a standard mortice lock system.
- Measure your existing door mortice cutout to ensure the 185mm x 40mm backplate will cover the area effectively.
- Use the provided spindle bar to connect the two handle sides through the door.
- Secure the backplate using the included fixings.
For care and maintenance, avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can strip the dual-tone finish. Simply wipe the surface occasionally with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth to maintain its luster and smudge-free appearance.
