FAQs

Are these handles suitable for exterior doors?

The Afit Olvera handles are primarily designed for internal use. For exterior doors, it is recommended to use hardware specifically rated for outdoor weather conditions.

What type of lock mechanism is included?

A heavy-duty sash lock with an anti-rattle adjustable keep is included. This is suitable for standard interior doors and offers a secure, quiet closing action.

Can I replace just the handle if one breaks?

These are sold as a set including handles, backplates, and a lock. While individual components may be mechanically replaceable, the set is intended to be installed as a complete unit.

How do I know if these will fit my door?

The handles are designed for standard door preparations. The included spindle is 100mm and can be cut to size, accommodating most standard door thicknesses. Ensure your existing lock backset is compatible.

Is the silver finish a matte or polished look?

The description indicates a polished chrome finish, which provides a reflective, high-shine appearance.

How easy is it to reverse the hand of the latch?

The included heavy-duty sash lock is suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors, meaning the latch can typically be reversed to suit your door's swing direction.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly

Ensure all screws securing the handle to the door are fully tightened. Check that the spindle is correctly seated in the lock mechanism and that the handles are firmly attached to the spindle.

Door does not latch or lock properly

Verify that the sash lock is correctly aligned with the strike plate on the door frame. Adjust the strike plate or the anti-rattle keep if necessary. Ensure the spindle is turning freely and engaging the lock mechanism.

Handle is stiff or difficult to operate

Check for any obstructions around the spindle or lock mechanism. The built-in spring might need time to settle; try operating the handle several times. If the issue persists, ensure the door is not warped and the lock is aligned correctly.

Spindle seems too long or too short

The included spindle is designed to be cut to size. If too long, carefully cut it down using a saw until it provides a secure fit within the handles and lock. If too short, ensure it is fully inserted into both handle mechanisms and the lock.

Pros and Cons

  • Includes all necessary hardware for straightforward installation.
  • Durable construction with a built-in spring mechanism for longevity.
  • Adjustable keep on the sash lock ensures a secure fit and reduces rattle.
  • Suitable for left and right-hand doors, offering flexibility.

Cons

  • While durable, the spring mechanism's long-term performance can vary based on usage intensity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation is designed to be DIY friendly. Ensure you have a screwdriver and potentially a saw for the spindle.

  1. Remove old handles and lock mechanism.
  2. Insert the new sash lock into the door.
  3. Feed the spindle through the lock mechanism and attach the handles on either side, ensuring a snug fit.
  4. Secure the handles using the provided screws. Cut the spindle to size if necessary for a firm grip.

Compatibility: These handles are compatible with standard UK door thicknesses and feature a universal design suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors. The included 100mm spindle can be cut to size to fit various door depths.

Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
