Troubleshooting
Handles feel loose after installation
Ensure all fixing screws are tightened securely. Over time, screws may slightly loosen with use; re-tighten them gently with a screwdriver.
Lever does not return to horizontal position or feels stiff
Check if the spindle bar is correctly aligned and not binding. Also, inspect the tubular latch (sold separately) for any obstructions or stiffness, and lubricate if necessary according to its manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure handles are not overtightened, which can restrict movement.
Door handle finish appears tarnished or scratched
For light marks, clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, which can damage the satin chrome finish. The zinc alloy construction is durable, but surface scratches can occur from sharp objects.

Setup Instructions
Prepare the Door: Ensure your door has the necessary holes for a tubular latch (not included) and the handle spindle. If not, follow instructions provided with your tubular latch for drilling.
Install Tubular Latch: Insert your tubular latch (sold separately) into the door edge according to its manufacturer's instructions.
Attach First Handle: Place one handle plate over the spindle hole on one side of the door. Ensure the lever is horizontal and the fixing holes align with the door.
Insert Spindle: Feed the 8mm spindle bar through the handle, the latch mechanism, and out the other side of the door.
Attach Second Handle: Position the second handle plate on the opposite side of the door, ensuring the spindle passes through its mechanism and the fixing holes align.
Secure Handles: Use the provided fixing screws to firmly attach both handle plates to the door. Avoid over-tightening.
Test Operation: Depress the levers to ensure the latch retracts smoothly and the handles return to their horizontal position without sticking.
