FAQs

What type of doors is this handle set suitable for?

This handle set is designed for interior doors, including those requiring a 30-minute fire rating due to the included hinges.

Does the set include everything needed for installation?

Yes, the set comes complete with the door handles, backplates, 3-lever sashlock with adjustable keep, 30-minute fire-rated hinges, and all necessary fixings and a cut-to-size spindle.

Can this handle set be used on exterior doors?

This set is specifically designed for interior doors and may not offer the weather resistance or security required for exterior applications.

How do I clean and maintain the polished brass finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve the finish. A brass polish can be used sparingly if needed.

Is the lock suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors?

Yes, the 3-lever sashlock is easily reversible, making it suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors.

What is the fire rating of the included hinges?

The included ball bearing hinges are 30-minute fire rated.

Can the spindle be used on thicker doors?

The set includes a 100mm spindle which can be cut to size, allowing for a secure fit on doors of various thicknesses.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Check that the backplate screws are fully tightened and that the spindle is securely seated within the handles and the lock mechanism.

Lock mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the sashlock is correctly aligned within the door and that the door frame is not warped. Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary.

Door does not close properly.

Adjust the position of the keep on the door frame or ensure the hinges are correctly aligned and the door is not binding.

Handles do not return to their original position after pressing.

Verify that the internal spring mechanism within the handle is correctly seated and not obstructed. Ensure the spindle is not bent.
