How do I clean and maintain the polished nickel finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically polish with a soft cloth to maintain shine.
Does the knob set come with fixings?
Yes, it is supplied with matching stainless steel wood screws.

Troubleshooting
Knob feels loose or wobbly.
Check that the spindle is correctly seated through the lock mechanism and that the grub screws (if applicable) or fixing screws securing the knob to the spindle are tightened. Ensure the rose plates are also securely fastened to the door.
Knob does not return to its original position.
This usually indicates an issue with the internal spring of the mortise lock or latch. Ensure you are using a heavy-duty lock/latch with adequate spring strength as recommended. Check for any obstructions within the lock mechanism.
The finish appears tarnished or discolored.
The polished nickel finish may require cleaning. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. For deeper tarnish, use a non-abrasive metal polish specifically designed for nickel or brass.
Screws do not grip the door material.
Ensure you are using the correct length and type of screws for your door material. If screwing into soft wood, pilot holes may be necessary. For harder materials, appropriate wall plugs might be required if not mounting directly into solid wood.
