How do I install the spindle?

What is covered by the five-year guarantee?

What tools are needed for installation?

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Check and tighten the fixing screws on the handle backplates. Ensure the spindle is securely fitted and hasn't shifted.

Lever doesn't return smoothly.

Verify that the spindle is correctly aligned and not binding. Check that the concealed spring mechanism is not obstructed or damaged. Ensure the door is not warped, causing misalignment.

Sash lock is sticking or difficult to operate.

Ensure the lock is correctly installed and aligned within the door. Check the adjustable keep on the door frame for proper alignment. Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary.

Screws do not grip properly.

If screws are stripping the wood, you may need to use slightly larger screws or fill the holes with wood dowel and glue before re-drilling pilot holes.

Sash lock rattles when the door is closed.

Adjust the screws on the anti-rattle adjustable keep to ensure a snug fit against the latch bolt.
