Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Follow the included instructions for installing the door knob. Ensure the square spindle fits correctly into the latch mechanism.
Compatibility: This door knob is compatible with most standard mortice door latch systems, but it requires a double sprung latch due to its unsprung design. Check dimensions to ensure a proper fit.
Care: Clean the door knobs with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. The unlacquered brass will naturally develop a patina over time. If you prefer to maintain a bright finish, polish the knobs regularly with a brass cleaner.
