FAQs

What type of door can this handle set be used on?

This handle set is designed for standard interior doors with a passage latch mechanism. It is suitable for wooden doors.

Do I need to buy any extra parts for installation?

No, the set comes with all the necessary fixings required for installation, including the spindle and screws.

How do I clean and maintain the polished brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

What is the length of the included spindle?

The set includes a 100mm spindle which can be cut to size to ensure a secure fit on your door.

Is this handle set suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While durable for daily use, the polished brass finish may require frequent cleaning in high-moisture areas. It is best suited for general interior doors.

Can this handle set be used on doors with existing lock mechanisms?

This set is designed for passage doors (doors that don't require locking). For doors with locks, you would typically need a separate lock mechanism to be fitted.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation

Ensure the spindle is cut to the correct size and securely fastened. Tighten the handle screws firmly against the backplate.

Spring mechanism is stiff or not returning properly

Check for any obstructions around the spindle or latch mechanism. Ensure the handles are correctly aligned on the spindle.

Polished brass finish is tarnishing

Clean the handle with a soft cloth and a mild brass cleaner. Ensure the handle is dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.

Screws do not seem to fit properly

Verify that you are using the correct screws provided in the fixings pack. Ensure the door preparation is adequate for the screws.
