FAQs
What type of doors is this hardware pack suitable for?
This pack is designed for internal wooden doors that do not require a locking mechanism. It provides a simple latching function.
Does this kit include everything needed for installation?
Yes, the pack comes complete with the lever handles, latch, hinges, and all necessary colour-matched screws and fittings.
Can I install this on a bathroom door?
No, this is a lever latch pack and does not include a lock. It is not suitable for doors requiring privacy or security.
How do I clean the polished chrome finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly.
Is the door handle spindle bar adjustable?
Yes, the spindle bar can be cut to size as required to ensure a proper fit for your specific door thickness.
What material are the handles and hinges made from?
The handles are constructed from zinc alloy, and the hinges are made from mild steel for durability.
What is the purpose of the ball-bearing hinges?
The ball-bearing hinges reduce friction, allowing for smoother door operation and helping to prevent sagging over time.
Troubleshooting
Door handle feels loose or wobbly.
Check that the spindle bar is correctly inserted through both handles and that the grub screws or fixings securing the handles to the spindle are tightened. Ensure the backplate screws are also secure.
Latch is stiff or difficult to retract/extend.
Verify the latch is installed straight and not binding within the door. Ensure the spindle bar is moving freely and is not obstructed. Lubricate the latch mechanism lightly if necessary.
Hinges squeak during operation.
Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or silicone spray) to the hinge pins and work the door back and forth.
Spindle bar is too long or too short.
If too long, carefully trim it to the correct size using a saw. If too short, ensure you are using the correct spindle for your door thickness; replacement spindles may be required.
