FAQs
What does 92mm/62mm PZ mean?
This refers to the distance between the centre of the handle spindle and the centre of the keyhole.
Is this handle suitable for all uPVC doors?
No, it is specifically for doors with a dual spindle lock and requires exactly 210mm between fixing screws.
Can I use this on a front door?
This is designed primarily for patio doors requiring an offset lever/pad configuration.
What tools are needed for installation?
You typically only need a screwdriver and a tape measure to verify dimensions before purchasing.
How do I measure my current handle?
Measure the distance between the two screw holes and the distance from the centre of the handle hole to the centre of the key hole.
Does this handle come as a pair?
Yes, it is supplied as a sprung pair, covering both the interior and exterior sides of the door.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels stiff or binds
Ensure the spindles are properly aligned with the lock case and that the fixing screws are not overtightened.
Handle sags after installation
Check that the spring cassette is seated correctly and verify that the handle is the correct sprung-type for your door weight.
Key does not turn smoothly
Check that the door is properly aligned in the frame; pressure on the lock bolts can prevent the key from turning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this handle, ensure you have removed your existing handle and measured the distance between the two screw holes (210mm) and the PZ centres (92mm/62mm) accurately. Position the spindles into the lock case before tightening the fixing screws to prevent misalignment. To maintain the gold finish and internal spring mechanism, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that may damage the protective coating. Periodically check that fixing screws remain tight, as vibration from closing the door can loosen them over months of use.
