The box contains a pair of door knobs, one spindle, and all necessary fixing screws for installation.
Yes, the mortice lock or latch is sold separately. You will need to choose a lock that suits your specific privacy and security requirements.
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Always dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
The Kensington Knurled Mortice Door Knob comes with a 10-year mechanical guarantee.
While designed for durability, this particular model is generally intended for internal doors. For external doors, please consult specific weather-resistant hardware options.
The knurled texture provides an enhanced, secure, and comfortable grip, improving the usability and ease of operation of the door.
It is ideal for interiors seeking an Art Deco-inspired aesthetic, but its classic design also complements period homes and modern renovations where character is desired.
Check that the grub screws securing the knob to the spindle are tightened sufficiently. Ensure the spindle is correctly seated within the mortice lock mechanism.
Verify that the mortice lock mechanism is functioning smoothly on its own. Ensure the spindle is not bent and that the knobs are not binding against the door or surrounding hardware. Check for any debris within the lock mechanism.
This usually indicates an issue with the internal spring mechanism of the mortice lock, not the knobs themselves. Test the lock mechanism independently. Ensure the spindle is correctly oriented and not jammed.
Clean the knob with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive soap solution. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals which can damage the finish.
Setup: The Kensington knurled mortice door knob is designed for straightforward installation. It is supplied as a pair with a connecting spindle and all necessary fixing screws. You will need a mortice lock (sold separately) to be installed in the door. Feed the spindle through the lock mechanism, then attach each knob to the ends of the spindle, securing them with the provided screws. Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned and the knobs are firmly attached.
Compatibility: This door knob is designed to work with standard mortice locks. It is crucial to select a compatible mortice latch or lock based on your security and privacy needs (e.g., bathroom privacy lock, standard passage latch). The required mortice lock is not included with the knob set and must be purchased separately.
Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the surface. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. The inherent properties of polished chrome mean it is resistant to tarnishing, but regular light cleaning will keep it looking its best.
