Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly
Check that all mounting screws on the backplate are tightened securely. Ensure the spindle is correctly seated within the handle and lock mechanism.
Lever does not return to the neutral position
Verify that the spindle is not obstructed and that the lock mechanism is functioning smoothly. Ensure the lever is properly attached to the spindle.
Polished brass finish tarnishes or dulls
Clean the handle regularly with a soft cloth. For persistent tarnish, use a brass cleaner specifically designed for polished finishes, following product instructions carefully, and ensure it is suitable for hardware.
Screws do not align with existing holes
Confirm that the existing lock mechanism has a 57mm center-to-center screw hole measurement. If not, the lock mechanism may need to be replaced to accommodate this handle.
