FAQs

Is this set suitable for external doors?

Yes, the Novi set includes high-security anti-drill and anti-pick features, making it suitable for secure entrance points.

Does the set include everything I need to install it?

Yes, the kit includes the handles, the Euro profile lock, the thumbturn cylinder, the 100mm spindle, and ball-bearing hinges.

Can I use this on a left-hand opening door?

Yes, the set is designed to be fully reversible and compatible with both left and right-hand opening doors.

How do I cut the spindle to size?

Measure the required length based on your door thickness and use a standard hacksaw to carefully trim the spindle.

Is the finish resistant to rust?

The chrome finish is durable and resistant to corrosion, though regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to maintain its luster.

Do I need a professional locksmith to install this?

Most competent DIYers can install this set with basic tools, though professional assistance is recommended if you are uncomfortable with door hardware alignment.

Troubleshooting

Handle does not return to a horizontal position

Check if the spindle is too long or binding within the mechanism; ensure the door is not warped.

Lock feels stiff when operating the key

Ensure the lock mechanism is properly aligned with the cylinder; apply a small amount of graphite lubricant.

Door rattles when closed

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame to tighten the grip on the latch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated chrome finish resists tarnishing
  • Comprehensive kit includes all necessary installation hardware
  • Compatible with a wide range of door handing
  • Enhanced security features included as standard
  • Easy installation process suitable for DIYers

Cons

  • Spindle requires manual cutting for exact fitting
  • Only available in a single silver color finish
  • Requires basic tools like a hacksaw for the spindle adjustment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard household tools, including a screwdriver, a hacksaw for sizing the spindle, and a drill for mounting the backplate if pilot holes are not already present. Since the set is reversible, identify the door handing during installation to ensure the thumbturn is positioned on the interior side. Compatibility extends to most standard door thicknesses; however, always measure your door before cutting the 100mm spindle. To maintain the chrome finish and mechanical performance, clean the handle periodically with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. A light application of silicone-based lubricant to the hinges every six months will maintain smooth operation.
