Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Installing your Designer Levers Victorian Scroll Door Handles is a straightforward process. Ensure you have a compatible tubular latch (sold separately) ready for installation before you begin.
- Prepare the Door: If not already done, ensure your door has the necessary holes for the spindle and fixing screws, as well as the mortice for the tubular latch.
- Install the Latch: Follow the instructions provided with your tubular latch to install it into the door edge.
- Insert Spindle: Slide the provided spindle bar through the central square hole in the tubular latch mechanism.
- Attach Handles: Place one handle on each side of the door, aligning the spindle bar with the square hole in the handle's backplate. Ensure the fixing holes on the backplate align with the pre-drilled holes in the door.
- Secure Handles: Use the supplied fixing screws to securely fasten both handles to the door. Tighten screws evenly to prevent wobbling, but do not overtighten.
- Test Operation: Test the handle operation to ensure the latch retracts smoothly and the handles return to their original position.
Compatibility
- Door Type: Suitable for solid interior doors only.
- Door Thickness: Compatible with doors measuring 30mm to 45mm in thickness.
- Latch Requirement: Requires a tubular latch, which is sold separately.
Care Instructions
To maintain the elegant gold finish and performance of your Designer Levers door handles:
- Cleaning: Wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Polishing: If necessary, use a polish specifically designed for lacquered brass, following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Maintenance: Periodically check and tighten any loose fixing screws to ensure the handles remain secure.
