FAQs

Are these door knobs sprung or unsprung?

These Spira Brass Burcot door knobs are unsprung. This means they require a double-sprung mortice latch or lock to operate correctly.

What material are the door knobs made from?

The door knobs are constructed from solid brass with a polished nickel finish.

What is the diameter of the knob and rose?

Both the knob and the rose have a diameter of 60mm.

Can these be used on exterior doors?

While made of brass, the polished nickel finish is best suited for interior use to maintain its appearance, as exterior conditions can accelerate wear and tarnishing.

Do I need to buy a separate latch mechanism?

Yes, as these knobs are unsprung, you will need to purchase a compatible double-sprung mortice latch or lock separately.

How are these door knobs sold?

They are sold and supplied in pairs, complete with a square spindle bar and all necessary fixing screws.

How do I maintain the polished nickel finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching or damaging the finish.

Troubleshooting

Knob feels loose after installation

Ensure all fixing screws are tightened securely. Check that the spindle is correctly seated within the lock mechanism and the knob.

Door does not latch properly

Verify that a double-sprung latch is installed. Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned with the latch mechanism and that there are no obstructions.

Discoloration on the polished nickel finish

This may be due to tarnishing or residue. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Knob is difficult to turn

Check for any misalignment of the spindle or obstruction within the lock mechanism. Ensure the door itself is not warped, causing undue pressure.
