The handle is constructed from full metal with a highly polished chrome finish. There are no plastic parts used in its construction.

How is the handle mounted?

The handle comes with a standard 8mm square operating bar.

How many keys are supplied with the handle?

The handle is supplied with two keys for the locking mechanism.

What is the required distance between mounting holes?

The required distance between the mounting holes (centre to centre) is 38mm.

Can this handle be used for outdoor applications?

While the chrome finish offers some protection, prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements may eventually lead to corrosion. It is best suited for sheltered outdoor applications or indoor use.

What is the total length of the handle?

The total length of the tee handle itself is 100mm.

Troubleshooting

Handle is loose after installation

Ensure the mounting bolts are fully tightened and that the operating bar is correctly engaged with the latch mechanism.

Lock is stiff or difficult to turn

Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a dry lubricant specifically designed for locks. Avoid liquid lubricants which can attract dust.

Key does not turn or unlock

Ensure the handle is in the fully open or closed position before attempting to use the key. Check for any obstructions within the keyway. If the issue persists, the lock may need professional attention.

Operating bar does not engage latch

Verify that the operating bar is the correct size (8mm square) and that it is properly aligned and inserted into the receiving mechanism.
