FAQs

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

This product is primarily designed for interior residential or commercial use. Exposure to harsh outdoor elements may accelerate the degradation of the bronze finish.

Does this set include an emergency release for the outside?

Yes, this unit is a complete set consisting of an internal thumbturn and an external emergency release slot.

Can I use this on a glass door?

No, this hardware is specifically designed for timber or solid-core doors.

What is the diameter of the fixing plate?

The fixing plate has a diameter of 42mm.

How do I clean the bronze finish?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth. You can lightly dampen the cloth with water if necessary, but ensure the hardware is dried completely immediately after.

Is the spindle length adjustable?

The spindle length is fixed at 70mm. It can typically be shortened using a hacksaw if required for thinner doors.

Troubleshooting

Thumbturn feels stiff or difficult to rotate

Check if the spindle is slightly misaligned or if the mounting screws are overtightened, creating friction.

The unit feels loose on the door

Verify that the fixing plate screws are tightened securely and that the door aperture is not too large for the mounting plate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality solid brass material
  • Sophisticated vintage bronze finish
  • Compact and unobtrusive footprint
  • Reliable and smooth operation

Cons

  • Requires professional alignment for optimal function
  • Fixed spindle size may require adjustment for thinner doors
  • Bronze finish may develop a natural patina over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps:

  1. Ensure your door has a pre-drilled aperture compatible with the 42mm fixing plate.
  2. Insert the 70mm x 5mm spindle through the door lock mechanism.
  3. Align the thumbturn unit on the interior side and the emergency release on the exterior side.
  4. Secure the fixing plates firmly using the provided mounting holes.

Compatibility:

This unit is compatible with most standard privacy mortise locks. Always measure your current door thickness to ensure the 5mm spindle width fits your existing lock mechanism.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the Bronze finish, wipe regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals which may strip the finish. If the mechanism becomes stiff, use a light silicone-based lubricant on the internal spindle components.
