Full details

This AFIT Door Handle Set in Matt Black is ideal for homeowners looking to upgrade their interior doors with a blend of classic style and modern security. Its key benefit is providing a complete, DIY-friendly solution for door hardware replacement, offering enhanced security with an anti-drill and anti-pick lock.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the handle made from?

The product description does not specify the exact material, but it is described as durable and suitable for daily performance, finished in matt black.

Is this set suitable for exterior doors?

While it includes a security lock, the description focuses on interior applications. For exterior doors, it's recommended to use hardware specifically designed for weather resistance and higher security standards.

How do I adjust the spindle size?

The spindle is designed to be cut to the required length using a hacksaw or appropriate cutting tool. Measure carefully based on your door's thickness.

Can I replace the included euro profile cylinder with my existing one?

Yes, if the new cylinder is the same size and type (euro profile), you can typically remove the included cylinder and install your existing one.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic tools such as a screwdriver (Phillips and/or flathead), a measuring tape, and a saw for cutting the spindle are generally required.

How do I know if this set is compatible with my door?

This set is compatible with standard internal doors. Ensure the door has the correct cut-outs for a euro profile lock cylinder and standard door hinges. Check your door's thickness to ensure the spindle can be adjusted appropriately.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly

Ensure the grub screw fixing the lever to the spindle is tightened securely. Check that the back-to-back bolts are also fully tightened.

Lever doesn't return to position

Verify that the built-in spring mechanism is correctly seated and not obstructed. Ensure the spindle is rotating freely within the lock mechanism.

Lock is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the euro profile cylinder is correctly aligned and not binding within the door preparation. Lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary.

Door doesn't close properly against the frame

Adjust the position or angle of the anti-rattle keep on the door frame. Ensure the hinges are correctly installed and not causing the door to sag.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish matt black finish complements modern and traditional decor.
  • Includes a high-security euro profile lock with anti-drill and anti-pick features.
  • All necessary hardware for installation is provided, making it a complete kit.
  • Designed for easy DIY installation on both left and right-handed doors.
  • Built-in spring mechanism ensures long-term smooth operation.
  • Durable construction for everyday use.

Cons

  • The 'cut-to-size' spindle requires accurate measurement and cutting, which may not be ideal for all DIYers.
  • While a complete kit, users may need additional tools for installation (e.g., screwdriver, drill).
  • The euro profile lock cylinder may need to be replaced if a specific keying system is already in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure & Cut Spindle: Determine the correct length for your door thickness and cut the provided 100mm spindle to size. Ensure it passes through the door completely.
  2. Attach Rose Plates: Feed the spindle through the door. Attach one rose plate to each side of the door, using the back-to-back bolts for a secure fit.
  3. Install Lever Handles: Secure the lever handles onto the rose plates, typically using the provided grub screws on the underside of the lever.
  4. Fit Lock & Keep: Install the euro profile lock into the door edge and attach the anti-rattle keep to the door frame.
  5. Attach Hinges: Install the smooth ball bearing hinges into the door edge and frame.

Compatibility:

  • Door Handing: Suitable for both left-hand and right-hand opening doors.
  • Door Thickness: Designed for standard interior doors; ensure spindle length is adjusted correctly for your door thickness.
  • Lock Type: Requires a standard UK mortise lock preparation for the euro profile cylinder.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the matt black finish.
  • Periodically check that screws and fixings remain tight.
