Product Information

Full details

This AFIT Door Handle Sash Lock Pack in Black is designed for homeowners looking to enhance the aesthetic of cottages and period properties with a durable and stylish solution. Its key benefit lies in its solid cast iron construction and antique black finish, offering both visual appeal and longevity. A potential caveat is that the 'hammered' design, while adding character, might not suit very modern minimalist interiors. This pack provides a complete, DIY-friendly solution for updating doors with a blend of decorative style, robust functionality, and value.

FAQs

What material is this door handle pack made from?

The handles are made from solid cast iron with an antique black powder coating finish.

Is this suitable for exterior doors?

This pack is designed for internal doors. The antique black finish may not withstand prolonged exposure to weather.

How do I cut the spindle if it's too long?

The spindle can typically be cut using a hacksaw. Measure the required length carefully before cutting to ensure a secure fit for your door thickness.

Can I reverse the handing of the lock mechanism?

Yes, the heavy-duty sash lock is designed to be suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors.

What is included in the pack?

Each pair includes the door handles, a sash lock with an anti-rattle adjustable keep, a 100mm spindle, and all necessary fixing screws and hardware.

How should I clean the handles?

Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the black finish.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly

Ensure all screws securing the handles and internal mechanism are fully tightened. Check that the spindle is correctly seated and secured.

Sash lock is stiff or not engaging properly

Verify the lock is correctly aligned with the strike plate. Adjust the keep on the strike plate if necessary to ensure smooth bolt operation. Check for any obstructions in the lock mechanism.

Door rattles when closed

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the strike plate to provide a tighter fit against the latch bolt. Ensure the door and frame are not warped.

Spring mechanism feels weak

The spring mechanism is designed for consistent operation. If it feels significantly weak or broken, contact customer support as the internal mechanism may need replacement.
