The AFIT Door Handle Latch Set in gold is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, stylish hardware upgrade for internal doors in both period and contemporary properties. Its primary benefit is the integrated spring mechanism that ensures consistent, smooth operation, though users should note that the gold finish requires regular, gentle cleaning to maintain its luster. This comprehensive set includes everything necessary for a professional-grade installation, including fire-rated hinges and a reversible tubular latch for flexible door orientation.

Yes, the included ball-bearing hinges are rated for 30 minutes of fire resistance.
No, the tubular latch is reversible, making it compatible with both left and right-hand doors.
Yes, the package includes handles, a tubular latch, fire-rated hinges, and all required mounting fixings.
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaning products.
This specific set includes a standard latch; you would need to add a separate privacy turn-and-release mechanism if you require a locking function for a bathroom.
Check the internal spring mechanism to ensure it is correctly seated and that the spindle is not stripped.
Verify the alignment of the strike plate on the door frame; adjust the frame's mortise depth if necessary.
Check the hinge alignment; ensure all screws are tightened flush with the hinges.
Installation requires basic woodworking tools: a drill, a screwdriver, and a sharp chisel for the mortise. Ensure you measure the backset of your door carefully before drilling. Because the hinges are fire-rated, ensure they are seated flush into the door frame to maintain the integrity of the 30-minute fire rating.
To keep the gold finish looking new, clean the handles periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can strip the gold coating. If the mechanism feels sluggish over time, a tiny drop of silicone-based lubricant inside the latch bolt can restore smooth movement.
