FAQs

What is included in the installation kit?

The kit includes a cut-to-size spindle, grub screws for securing the handles, and back-to-back bolts for mounting the handles through the door. It also includes the heavy-duty sash lock and its corresponding keep.

Can this handle set be used on a bathroom door?

Yes, the included sash lock is suitable for internal doors, making it appropriate for bathrooms and bedrooms. However, it does not come with a locking mechanism for privacy; a separate bathroom lock or privacy set would be needed for that specific function.

Is this handle set reversible for left or right-handed doors?

Yes, the sash lock mechanism is designed to be reversible, allowing the handle set to be installed on both left and right-hand opening doors.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Wipe the handles with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

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

The spring mechanism is designed to support the handle lever, preventing it from drooping or sagging over time due to regular use. This ensures a consistent feel and appearance.

Do I need to purchase any additional hardware?

No, the set comes with all the necessary fixings for installation on standard doors. You will only need basic tools such as a screwdriver.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or sags.

Ensure the grub screws securing the handle to the spindle are fully tightened. Check that the spindle is correctly seated within both handle mechanisms.

Door latch does not engage properly.

Verify the sash lock is installed correctly and that the keep on the door frame is aligned with the latch. Adjust the keep using its slotted holes for better alignment.

Sash lock makes rattling noise.

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame. Slightly repositioning the keep or using a small shim behind it can often resolve rattling.

Difficulty fitting the spindle or handles.

Confirm that the spindle is cut to the correct length for your door thickness. Ensure no debris is obstructing the spindle holes on the handles or the lock mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Novi door handle set is designed for straightforward DIY installation. Ensure you have a screwdriver (Phillips and/or flathead, depending on screw type) and potentially a measuring tape.

  1. Determine the correct door thickness and trim the spindle if necessary.
  2. Attach the back-to-back bolts through the door.
  3. Mount the two handle halves onto the spindle and secure them using the grub screws.
  4. Install the sash lock into the door edge, ensuring the latch mechanism aligns correctly.
  5. Attach the keep to the door frame, adjusting it for optimal latch engagement.

Compatibility: This handle set is suitable for standard internal and external doors with a thickness of approximately 35-45mm. The included sash lock is designed for both left and right-hand opening doors. The backplate is a classic round rose design.

Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, wipe the handles regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth.
