FAQs

Can this handle be used for bathroom doors?

This set is a latch set. If your bathroom door requires a privacy turn-and-release lock, you will need to purchase a separate bathroom turn set compatible with your latch.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will typically need a screwdriver and a hacksaw to trim the spindle to the correct size for your door.

Is the spindle included in the box?

Yes, a 100mm spindle is included and can be cut down to fit your specific door thickness.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh scouring pads which can damage the finish.

Does this set include both sides of the door?

Yes, the product is supplied as a pair for both sides of the internal door.

Troubleshooting

Handle does not return to the horizontal position

Check that the door is not binding against the frame and ensure the fixing screws are not overtightened, which can compress the spring mechanism.

Handle feels loose or wobbly

Verify that the spindle is firmly seated in both handle levers and that the backplate screws are fully tightened.

Latch does not retract fully

Check that the spindle has not been cut too short and that it is fully engaged with the latch mechanism inside the door.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable integrated spring mechanism prevents sagging
  • Stylish and versatile matt black finish
  • Complete set including all necessary fixings
  • Adjustable spindle fits multiple door thicknesses

Cons

  • Requires careful measurement for door thickness
  • Matt black finish may show dust or fingerprints more than lighter finishes
  • Latch mechanism must be compatible with existing door mortise

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard household tools, typically a screwdriver and a hacksaw for trimming the spindle. To set up, first determine the thickness of your door. If the included 100mm spindle protrudes too far, use a hacksaw to cut it to the required length for your specific door depth. Ensure the backplates are perfectly level before tightening the screws to prevent binding. For maintenance, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the matt black finish. Occasional wiping with a slightly damp cloth followed by immediate drying is sufficient to maintain the handle's appearance.
