FAQs
Are these handles suitable for exterior doors?
No, these handles are designed for internal doors only and are not weather-resistant.
What is the material of the handles?
The handles are made with a satin nickel finish, offering a durable and stylish appearance.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
You will need a screwdriver (usually Phillips head) and potentially a hacksaw to cut the spindle to size. A tape measure is also recommended.
Can these handles be used on any type of internal door?
Yes, they are compatible with most standard internal doors that have a latch mechanism pre-installed or can accommodate one.
How do I determine the correct spindle length?
Measure the thickness of your door. The spindle should extend slightly through the door to engage correctly with both handles. The included 100mm spindle can be cut to achieve this precise length.
What does 'anti-rattle adjustable keep' mean?
This refers to the part that attaches to the door frame. The 'adjustable keep' allows you to fine-tune the fit, and 'anti-rattle' means it's designed to prevent the door from rattling when closed.
What is the warranty period for these door handles?
Information on specific warranty periods is typically found with the product packaging or the retailer's information. Please refer to those sources for exact details.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly.
Check that the spindle is securely held within both handles and that the handle screws are fully tightened.
Latch does not retract or extend smoothly.
Ensure the spindle is not binding and that the latch mechanism is free from obstructions. Check that the spindle has been cut to the correct length and is not too long.
Door does not close properly, or the latch doesn't align with the keep.
Adjust the position of the anti-rattle keep on the door frame. Ensure the door is hanging straight and not sagging.
Difficulty installing the spindle.
Ensure the spindle is aligned correctly with the holes in the handles and latch. If the spindle is too long, trim it carefully with a hacksaw.
