Product Information
Full details
This Designer Levers English Flower Design Mortice Door Knob in antique brass is for homeowners and designers seeking a touch of Edwardian elegance for interior doors. Its key benefit is the ornate fluted flower design combined with durable antique brass, offering both aesthetic appeal and longevity. A potential caveat is its unsprung mortice action, which requires a robust mortice lock or latch to ensure proper function.

FAQs
Does this door knob come with a lock mechanism?
No, this is a door knob set only. It requires a separate mortice lock or latch to be purchased and installed for operation.
What is the finish of this door knob?
The finish is high-quality antique brass, designed to offer a period-style aesthetic.
Can this door knob be used on exterior doors?
This knob is designed for interior use. Exterior doors typically require hardware with different weather resistance and security features.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a 10-year mechanical guarantee.
How do I clean the antique brass finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly with another soft cloth.
What type of door thickness is this knob suitable for?
It is suitable for standard interior doors, typically between 35mm and 50mm thick, provided a compatible mortice lock is used.
Is this a sprung or unsprung knob?
This is an unsprung mortice action door knob. It relies on the spring mechanism of the mortice lock or latch for retraction.
Troubleshooting
Door knob feels stiff or doesn't return fully.
This is likely an issue with the mortice lock or latch. Ensure the lock mechanism is properly lubricated and functioning freely. Check that the door knob spindle is correctly aligned and not binding within the lock.
Door knob spins freely without operating the latch.
The spindle is likely not properly engaged with the mortice lock mechanism. Re-check the spindle's connection to both door knobs and ensure it's securely fitted into the lock's follower.
The finish appears dull or discolored.
Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals. Use a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If the finish is significantly degraded, consult the manufacturer's warranty or a specialist for restoration advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This door knob requires a mortice lock or latch (sold separately) to function correctly. Ensure the backplate of the mortice lock is flush with the door surface before installation. The knob is typically fixed to the lock's spindle. Follow the specific instructions provided with your chosen mortice lock for secure fitting.
Compatibility:
Suitable for interior doors up to a standard thickness (usually 35-50mm). Must be used with a mortice lock or latch. Ensure the spindle size is compatible with the lock mechanism.
Care:
To maintain the antique brass finish, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth. Regular dusting will help preserve its appearance.
