FAQs

What is included in the pack?

Each pair includes two handles, a heavy-duty tubular latch, an anti-rattle adjustable keep, a 100mm spindle, and all necessary screws and fixings for installation.

Can these handles be used on external doors?

These handles are designed for internal doors. For external doors, it is recommended to use hardware specifically rated for outdoor use and security.

How do I determine the correct spindle length?

The spindle should be long enough to pass through the door and securely engage both handles. You will need to measure your door's thickness and cut the provided 100mm spindle accordingly.

Are these handles reversible for left and right-hand doors?

Yes, the design is universal and suitable for both left-hand and right-hand opening doors.

What maintenance is required for the chrome finish?

Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the polished finish.

What is the purpose of the built-in spring mechanism?

The spring mechanism helps to prevent the handle from sagging over time and ensures it springs back to its correct position after being used, maintaining functionality and appearance.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Ensure the fixing screws are tightened securely. If the spindle is loose, re-cut and re-insert it, ensuring a snug fit.

Latch doesn't retract or extend smoothly.

Check for obstructions in the latch mechanism or the door hole. Ensure the spindle is properly aligned and not binding.

Door does not close properly or rattles.

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame by loosening its screws, repositioning it to align with the latch bolt, and re-tightening the screws.

Handle sticks or doesn't return to position.

The internal spring mechanism might be obstructed or damaged. Ensure no debris is inside the handle mechanism and that the spindle moves freely.
