FAQs

What type of lock does this handle operate?

This handle is designed to operate a mortice lock mechanism, typically used on interior doors where security is desired.

Is this handle suitable for exterior doors?

This model is primarily designed for interior use. For exterior doors, please consult product specifications for weather resistance.

What is included in the fitting pack?

The fitting pack includes a pair of lever handles, the connecting spindle, and all necessary fixing screws for installation.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish. Dry with a soft cloth after cleaning.

What is the guarantee period for this product?

The Designer Levers Berkeley lever handle comes with a 10-year mechanical guarantee.

Can I use this handle with a standard door latch?

This handle is specifically designed for mortice locks. If you require a handle for a standard door latch, you may need to look for a 'lever latch handle' without a lock profile.

Are other finishes available for the Berkeley design?

While this specific model is brushed brass, Designer Levers may offer the Berkeley design in other finishes and on different backplate types. Please check other product listings for variations.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels stiff or difficult to operate.

Check that the fixing screws are not overtightened, which can bind the mechanism. Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned and not obstructed. Lubrication of the internal mechanism might be required; use a silicone-based lubricant sparingly.

Handle is loose or wobbly.

Re-tighten the fixing screws securely. Ensure the backplate is flush against the door surface before tightening.

Finish appears dull or discolored.

Clean the handle with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure all cleaning agents are thoroughly rinsed off and the handle is dried completely. Avoid using metal polishes unless specifically recommended for brushed brass finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This handle set is supplied with a complete fitting pack, including the lever handles, spindle, and all necessary fixing screws. Ensure you have a compatible mortice lock installed on your door. Follow the included instructions to attach the spindle through the lock and then fix the handles to the backplates on either side of the door.

Compatibility:

This handle features a mortice lock profile, meaning it is designed to operate a mortice lock mechanism. It is suitable for interior doors where security is a consideration. Please ensure your existing door and lock mechanism are compatible with this type of handle set. It is typically designed for standard door thicknesses.

Care:

To maintain the premium brushed brass finish, clean the handles with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth.
