FAQs

What material are the handles made from?

The handles are made from solid cast iron with a black powder coating finish.

Are these handles suitable for exterior doors?

While made of durable cast iron, the antique black finish is best suited for interior applications or very sheltered exterior locations to maintain its appearance. Check specific product details for suitability.

What is included in the set?

Each pair includes the door handles, a heavy-duty sash lock with an adjustable keep, necessary screws, and a 100mm spindle.

Can I install these handles myself?

Yes, these handles are designed to be DIY friendly and come with all necessary fixings for straightforward installation.

What if my door is thicker or thinner than standard?

The included 100mm spindle can be cut to size, allowing you to achieve a secure and perfect fit on doors of various thicknesses.

How should I clean the antique black finish?

Clean using only a soft, damp cloth. Avoid any abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish.

Will this set work for both left and right-hand opening doors?

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Check that all screws are tightened securely. Ensure the spindle is correctly seated and cut to the appropriate length.

Sash lock is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the lock mechanism is correctly aligned within the door. Lightly lubricate the moving parts of the lock with a suitable lubricant. Check that the strike plate on the frame is aligned properly.

Door rattles when closed.

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame to ensure it makes firmer contact with the latch.

Finish appears dull or scratched.

Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Gently buff with a soft, dry cloth. For minor scratches on the powder coating, consult a specialist for potential touch-up solutions.
