FAQs
Does this pack include the internal latch mechanism?
No, this pack contains the knobs and the escutcheon plate; the latch or rim lock mechanism must be purchased separately.
Can these be used on exterior doors?
These are primarily designed for interior use. Using them outdoors may result in premature wear of the antique finish due to weather exposure.
Is the gold finish shiny or matte?
The finish is designed to have an authentic antique appearance, which is typically a muted, classic gold rather than a high-gloss modern shine.
What is the diameter of the knobs?
The knobs are standard size, but please check your specific door thickness requirements to ensure the spindle length is compatible.
Can I install these on a hollow-core door?
Yes, but ensure your door has solid timber blocks where the handle is to be mounted to provide adequate support for the screws.
Troubleshooting
Knob feels loose after installation
Check that the spindle is fully seated and the grub screws or fixings are tightened securely against the door plates.
Knob does not turn smoothly
Ensure the mortice latch or rim lock mechanism is correctly aligned with the spindle; slight adjustments to the door plate may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard carpentry tools, including a drill, screwdriver, and measuring tape. Before beginning, ensure your door is pre-drilled for the appropriate latch type—either a rim lock mounted on the surface or a mortice lock recessed into the door edge.
Care instructions involve keeping the hardware clean by using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can strip the antique gold finish over time. If the knobs lose their luster, a light dusting is usually sufficient to maintain their appearance. Always ensure all screws are tightened firmly during installation to prevent the knobs from wobbling after frequent use.
