FAQs

What type of doors can this handle set be used on?

This set is primarily designed for interior doors, such as bathrooms and bedrooms. It's suitable for standard door thicknesses and works with both left and right-hand opening doors.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Basic tools such as a screwdriver (Phillips and flathead), a measuring tape, and potentially a saw to cut the spindle to size are typically required.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to maintain the finish. For tougher spots, a very mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by drying.

Is the lock suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, the included heavy-duty lock features a thumb turn and emergency release, making it ideal for bathroom privacy and safety.

What if the spindle is too long or too short?

The spindle is designed to be cut to size. If it's too long, carefully trim it with a saw. If it's too short, you may need to obtain a replacement spindle of the correct length.

Can this set be used for exterior doors?

While durable, this set is typically intended for interior use. For exterior doors, consider hardware specifically rated for weather resistance and security.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose

Check that the grub screw securing the lever to the spindle is tightened. Ensure the spindle is correctly seated.

Lock is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the lock mechanism is correctly aligned within the door stile and that the keep is properly positioned on the door frame. Lubricate the lock cylinder with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary.

Door does not close properly

Verify that the spindle is not too long, causing the lock mechanism to bind. Adjust or re-trim the spindle if needed. Check that the keep is aligned with the latch bolt.

Handle does not return to position

Confirm the internal spring mechanism is correctly seated and not obstructed. Ensure the spindle is rotating freely within the lever assembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This set is designed for DIY installation. Align the spindle through the door, attach the levers using the grub screws, and secure the lock mechanism. Ensure the cut-to-size spindle is trimmed accurately to match your door's thickness. The back-to-back bolts should be tightened securely.

Compatibility: Suitable for standard interior doors. The included lock fits doors requiring a 100mm spindle. It is compatible with both left-hand and right-hand opening doors. Always check door thickness to ensure a proper fit for the spindle and bolts.

Care: Clean the matt black finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and dry.
