FAQs
Does this handle come with a lock?
No, this is a latch-only handle and does not feature a locking mechanism for privacy or security.
What door thickness is this compatible with?
This handle is designed to be compatible with standard interior door thicknesses found in most residential homes.
Is the bronze finish resistant to rust?
While the materials are premium and durable, the handle is intended for interior use only to maintain the integrity of the finish.
Can I use this on a bathroom door?
This specific model is a latch handle; for bathroom doors, we recommend looking for the Sofia Long Lever Bathroom Door Handle variant.
What is included in the package?
The set includes a pair of handles (for both sides of one door) and all necessary installation fixings.
How do I clean the bronze handle?
Simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the finish.
Troubleshooting
The lever does not return to the horizontal position.
Ensure the internal spring is properly seated and that the fixing screws are not overtightened, which can cause binding.
The handle feels loose or wobbly.
Check that all mounting screws are fully tightened and the backplate is flush against the door surface.
The latch does not retract fully when the lever is pressed.
Verify that the latch spindle is the correct size and properly aligned with the lever mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Sofia Long Lever Latch handle is straightforward, as the set comes complete with all required fixings. Ensure your door is prepared with a standard latch bore hole before mounting. Compatibility is limited to latch-only door configurations; this handle cannot be used on bathroom doors requiring a thumb-turn lock or exterior entry doors requiring a deadbolt. To maintain the bronze finish and internal mechanism, wipe down the handle occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads that could strip the finish. If the lever becomes stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the internal mechanism behind the backplate.
