FAQs
Is this handle set suitable for exterior doors?
This set is primarily designed for internal doors. For exterior applications, consider hardware specifically rated for outdoor weather resistance.
Can I use this with a different type of lock (e.g., bathroom lock)?
This set includes a specific heavy-duty sash lock. While the handles can often be fitted to other lock types with compatible backset and faceplate dimensions, the included lock is optimized for this set.
How do I determine the correct spindle length?
Measure the thickness of your door. The spindle needs to pass through the door and securely connect both handles. The included spindle is cut-to-size, allowing you to achieve the perfect fit by cutting it to the door's thickness plus the depth of the lock case.
How should I clean the matt black finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes. For tougher marks, a very mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough drying with a clean, soft cloth.
Is the lock reversible for left and right-handed doors?
Yes, the sash lock mechanism is reversible, and the handles are designed to be used on both left and right-hand opening doors.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information, typically provided with the product packaging or on the AFIT website, for specific details on the warranty period.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly
Check and tighten the grub screw located on the underside of the handle, which secures it to the spindle.
Lock mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure the lock is properly aligned within the door and the keep is correctly positioned. Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary.
Door does not close securely or rattles
Adjust the position of the keep plate on the door frame to ensure it aligns correctly with the latch. The adjustable keep allows for fine-tuning.
Handle lever does not return to its original position
Verify that the spindle is correctly seated and that the internal spring mechanism is not obstructed. Ensure the spindle is not binding within the door.
