FAQs

Can I use these on exterior doors?

No, this set is designed specifically for internal doors and may corrode if exposed to external weather conditions.

Are these handles suitable for left-handed doors?

Yes, the latch mechanism is fully reversible and compatible with both left-hand and right-hand opening doors.

Do I need to buy hinges separately?

No, high-quality ball-bearing hinges are included in the package.

How do I clean the silver finish?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Is the installation difficult for a beginner?

The set is designed for straightforward installation, but basic DIY tools like a drill, screwdriver, and wood chisel are required.

Troubleshooting

The handle does not return to a horizontal position.

Check that the door is not binding against the frame and ensure the spindle is correctly aligned with the internal spring mechanism.

The latch is rattling against the frame.

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame strike plate until a firm, snug fit is achieved.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure your door is prepared for the latch mortise before securing the mechanism.

  1. Use the provided template to mark drilling locations for the spindle and latch.
  2. Install the ball-bearing hinges first to align the door properly within the frame.
  3. Insert the tubular latch and secure the handle plates using the provided fixings.

For maintenance, wipe the handle periodically with a soft, dry cloth to preserve the silver finish. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can degrade the polished surface. If the latch becomes stiff, a small application of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the bolt head.
