Will these handles work on doors that open to the left or right?
Yes, the included latch mechanism is suitable for both left-hand and right-hand opening doors.
How should I clean and maintain the antique brass finish?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
Troubleshooting

Ensure all screws are tightened securely and the spindle is correctly seated and cut to the appropriate length.
Latch is stiff or doesn't retract smoothly
