FAQs
What does 92mm/62mm PZ centres mean?
These measurements refer to the distance between the centre of the keyhole and the centre of the handle spindle.
Is this handle suitable for an internal door?
While it can be used on any door with compatible locks, it is primarily designed for the specific security requirements of external uPVC patio doors.
How do I measure the fixing distance?
Measure the distance from the centre of the top screw hole to the centre of the bottom screw hole.
Does this handle include the spindle and screws?
Yes, it is supplied as a complete sprung pair, typically including the necessary spindles and fixing hardware.
Can I use this on a door with a single spindle?
No, this product is specifically engineered for a dual spindle offset configuration.
Troubleshooting
Handle does not return to the horizontal position
Ensure the internal spring cassette is correctly seated and the fixing screws are not overtightened.
Key will not turn in the lock
Check that the door is fully pulled into the frame to allow the lock bolts to align with the strike plates.
Handle feels loose after installation
Double-check the length of the fixing screws and ensure they are tightened firmly against the door plate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, verify your current handle has a 215mm screw-to-screw distance and 92mm/62mm PZ centres. To install, remove the existing handle and clear any debris from the screw holes. Insert the spindle through the door, align the backplates, and secure them using the provided fixings. Do not overtighten, as this can impede the lever's movement. For maintenance, keep the moving parts lubricated with a light silicone-based spray once or twice a year, and clean the external black finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its appearance.
