FAQs

Are these handles suitable for exterior doors?

No, the AFIT Victorian Scroll handles are designed specifically for internal doors. They are not rated for exterior weather conditions.

What tools do I need to install these handles?

You will need a screwdriver and a hacksaw to cut the spindle to the correct size for your door.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a damp cloth and drying with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty period for these door handles?

The AFIT Victorian Scroll door handles are backed by a five-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

Can I use these handles on doors thinner than 35 mm or thicker than 44 mm?

These handles are designed for doors between 35 mm and 44 mm thick. While some minor adjustments might be possible, performance and secure fitting are best guaranteed within this range.

Do I need to buy separate screws?

No, each pair of handles comes supplied with colour-matched screws and a cut-to-fit spindle, providing everything needed for installation.

What material are the handles made of?

The handles have a solid aluminium core, ensuring durability and a lightweight feel.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation.

Ensure the backplate is flush against the door and tighten the fixing screws securely. Check that the spindle is correctly seated in both levers.

Lever doesn't return to the horizontal position.

Verify the spring mechanism is correctly installed and not obstructed. Ensure the spindle is not binding and that the door itself is not warped.

Spindle is too short or too long.

If too short, the handles may not engage properly. If too long, they may not fit flush. Recut the spindle to the precise measurement needed for your door thickness.

Scratches on the polished chrome finish.

Avoid using abrasive cloths or cleaning agents. For minor scratches, a metal polish designed for chrome may help, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
