FAQs
What does PAS 24 accreditation mean for security?
PAS 24 is a recognized British standard for enhanced security performance, indicating that the product has been tested against a range of common methods of forced entry.
Is this handle set suitable for external doors?
Yes, the Yale Sparta Pas24 is designed for external use and features enhanced security and corrosion resistance suitable for front and back doors.
What material is the backplate made from?
The backplate is made from tough 304 stainless steel, which provides strength and corrosion resistance.
How long is the guarantee on the finish?
There is a 25-year surface guarantee, protecting against corrosion.
Can I replace just the handles, or do I need a full lock mechanism?
This product is a handle set. You will typically use it with your existing lock mechanism, provided it is compatible (e.g., a Euro profile cylinder lock). You may need to ensure your cylinder meets security standards if upgrading.
What is the difference between lever/lever and lever/knob handles?
Lever/lever means both the internal and external handles are levers. Lever/knob typically means one side has a lever and the other has a doorknob.
Troubleshooting
Lever feels stiff or sticky.
Check for obstructions around the spindle or lever mechanism. Ensure the door is not warped, causing misalignment. A small amount of appropriate lubricant may be applied to the internal mechanism if accessible, following manufacturer guidelines.
Handle does not return to the horizontal position.
Verify that the spring mechanism is correctly seated and not damaged. Ensure the door frame is not preventing the lever's full return. Check that the spindle is properly engaged with both levers.
Screws do not tighten securely.
Ensure you are using the correct length screws for your door thickness. If the pre-drilled holes are worn, you may need to use slightly larger screws or wood filler to secure them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation typically involves removing the old door handles, unscrewing the existing backplates, and fitting the new Yale Sparta handles. Ensure correct alignment of the spindle and fixings. Use the provided screws for a secure fit. It is recommended to have a screwdriver set and potentially a drill if pre-drilled holes need adjustment.
Compatibility: This handle set is designed for standard door thicknesses and common lock mechanisms. It features a lever/lever operation, meaning both handles are sprung. Ensure your door has the appropriate pre-drilled holes for this type of handle. It is compatible with doors that have a Euro profile cylinder.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the handles regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the coating. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a rinse with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.
