FAQs
Does this handle come with a lock?
The handle includes a thumb turn for privacy, but you must purchase a compatible mortice lock separately.
Is the silver finish prone to tarnishing?
The finish is designed to be highly durable and resistant to regular use, provided it is cleaned with a soft cloth and no harsh chemicals are used.
Can this be used on an exterior door?
This handle is primarily designed for internal use, such as bedrooms and bathrooms.
What is the warranty period?
The product includes a 10-year mechanical guarantee.
What is included in the box?
The package contains a pair of handles, the spindle, and the necessary screws for installation.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly
Tighten the mounting screws on the backplate and ensure the spindle is correctly seated through the latch mechanism.
The lever does not return to the horizontal position
Check the internal spring mechanism for debris or ensure that the door latch itself is not creating excessive friction.
Thumb turn lock does not engage smoothly
Verify that the door alignment with the frame is correct and that the mortice lock spindle is properly aligned with the thumb turn mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward as the handle comes with all required screws and a spindle for a standard fit. Since mortice locks are not provided, ensure you purchase a compatible bathroom mortice lock that matches the backset and centers of your existing door preparations. For care, keep the silver finish looking its best by wiping it periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the specialized finish. Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight after the initial "settling in" period of the hardware.
