FAQs
What material are the Afit door handles made from?
While specific material composition isn't detailed, they are designed for durability with a matt black finish, suggesting a metal base coated for longevity.
Can I use these handles on an external door?
These handles are described as an 'internal' range and are likely not designed for exterior weather exposure or enhanced security requirements typically needed for external doors.
What is the size of the backplate?
The backplates for this Novi range are 150mm x 150mm.
Do I need to buy a separate latch and hinges?
No, this set includes the necessary heavy-duty tubular latch and hinges along with the door handles and fixings.
How do I know if this set will fit my door?
The set is designed for standard internal doors. The included 100mm spindle can be cut to size to fit various door thicknesses, and the latch is suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors.
How should I maintain the matt black finish?
Clean using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Door handles feel loose or wobbly.
Ensure the spindle is correctly sized and fully inserted through both handles. Tighten any grub screws located at the base of the handles that secure them to the spindle.
Latch mechanism is stiff or noisy.
Check that the latch and its keep are correctly aligned and securely fixed. Ensure the anti-rattle keep is properly adjusted. Lubricate the latch mechanism with a silicone-based spray if necessary.
Door does not close properly.
Verify that the hinges are correctly aligned and not binding. Check that the latch bolt is fully retracting and extending into the strike plate on the door frame.
The matt black finish appears to be chipping or scratching.
Cease using abrasive cleaning cloths or chemicals. Clean gently with a damp, soft cloth. Minor scratches may be unavoidable with heavy use, but significant chipping could indicate a manufacturing defect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack all components: door handles, backplates, tubular latch, hinges, and screws.
Measure the thickness of your door. Determine the required length for the 100mm spindle and carefully cut it to size using a saw.
Install the tubular latch into the edge of the door, ensuring the latch faceplate is flush.
Attach the backplates to both sides of the door using the provided screws.
Insert the cut spindle through the latch mechanism and the holes in the backplates.
Attach the door handles onto the spindle, securing them according to the specific fixing method (often via grub screws on the handle base).
Install the hinges on the door edge and the corresponding frame, ensuring proper alignment for smooth operation.
Compatibility:
Designed for standard internal doors.
Suitable for doors with a minimum thickness of 35mm (adjusting spindle accordingly).
Compatible with both left-hand and right-hand opening doors due to the reversible latch.
The backplate dimensions are 150mm x 150mm, so ensure adequate space on your door.
Care:
Clean the handles and backplates with a soft, damp cloth.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the matt black finish.
Periodically check that all screws are tight to maintain secure fittings.
