Product Information

Full details

This Afit Victorian Scroll latch set is designed for homeowners seeking to add a touch of timeless elegance to their internal doors, offering a blend of classic style and modern durability. Its key benefit lies in the easy DIY installation and robust construction, ensuring a smooth operation and lasting finish. A potential caveat is the need for a hacksaw to cut the spindle to size, which requires basic DIY skills. The set features a victorian-shaped scroll design on a backplate with a polished chrome finish, a solid aluminium core for strength, and a concealed spring mechanism for smooth lever return.

FAQs

What material are the Afit Victorian Scroll door handles made from?

The handles have a solid aluminium core, which provides strength and keeps the weight low.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to protect the finish.

Can I use these handles on an external door?

These handles are designed for internal doors and are not typically recommended for external use due to material and finish considerations for weather resistance.

What is the purpose of the concealed spring mechanism?

The concealed spring mechanism ensures the lever returns smoothly to its position after use, reducing wear on the latch and preventing the lever from drooping.

Do I need any special tools to install these handles?

You will need a screwdriver for the screws and a hacksaw to cut the spindle to the correct size. A measuring tape is also recommended.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Afit Victorian Scroll range is backed by a five-year guarantee.

Are these handles suitable for fire doors?

The product description does not specify suitability for fire doors. Please consult fire door regulations and certified hardware if required for fire-rated doors.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Check that all screws are tightened securely. Ensure the spindle is correctly seated and cut to the appropriate length.

Lever does not return to the horizontal position smoothly.

Verify that the concealed spring mechanism is not obstructed. Ensure the spindle is not binding within the latch or door.

Screws do not seem to fit properly.

Ensure you are using the correct colour-matched screws provided with the set. Check that the pre-drilled holes in the door are adequately sized.

Spindle is too long or too short.

If too long, carefully cut the spindle with a hacksaw to the required length for a secure fit. If too short, ensure you have used the correct spindle and that it is fully inserted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic and elegant design that enhances traditional and modern interiors.
  • Durable construction with a solid aluminium core for longevity.
  • Smooth operation due to the concealed spring mechanism.
  • Easy to install for DIY enthusiasts with all necessary fixings included.
  • Polished chrome finish offers a stylish and versatile look.

Cons

  • Requires cutting the spindle to size, which needs a hacksaw and basic DIY skill.
  • Only suitable for specific door thicknesses (35-44 mm).
  • Latch set means it's intended for passage doors, not for locking bedrooms or bathrooms without a separate lock mechanism.
  • Polished chrome may show fingerprints or require regular cleaning to maintain its shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your door is between 35-44 mm thick.
  2. Position the backplate and lever on the door, aligning with the pre-drilled holes if replacing existing hardware.
  3. Insert the 100 mm spindle through the door and the latch mechanism.
  4. Cut the spindle to the required length using a hacksaw. Ensure it protrudes sufficiently to connect both levers securely.
  5. Attach the handles to the spindle and secure them to the door using the provided colour-matched screws.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for internal doors made of timber or composite materials.
  • Designed for doors with a thickness range of 35-44 mm.
  • This is a latch set, intended for doors that do not require a locking mechanism.

Care:

  • Clean the polished chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
  • Periodically check that screws remain tight to ensure optimal performance.
