FAQs

Is this handle suitable for external doors?

While designed for durability, specific suitability for external doors depends on environmental factors and local building regulations. It is primarily designed for internal fire-rated doors.

What is the BS8300 standard?

BS8300 is a British Standard that provides recommendations for the design of new buildings and their approaches to provide access and facilities for disabled people. This handle is designed to align with those principles.

What is a return-to-door handle?

A return-to-door handle is designed so that the lever returns parallel to the door face when not in use, reducing the chance of snagging.

Can I use this kit on doors thicker or thinner than 35-44mm?

No, the kit is specifically designed for door thicknesses between 35mm and 44mm. Using it on different thicknesses may compromise the fit and security.

Does the kit include a key for the lock?

Typically, a euro profile lock and thumb turn cylinder will come with a set of keys. Please refer to the product packaging or specific item details for the exact number of keys included.

How do I clean the silver finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the stainless steel.

What is the fire rating of the doors this kit is suitable for?

The kit is designed for FD30 (30-minute fire rating) and FD60 (60-minute fire rating) applications.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels stiff or doesn't return flush

Check for obstructions around the lever mechanism. Ensure the back-to-back bolts are not overtightened, which can bind the mechanism. Verify the door thickness is within the 35-44mm range.

Lock mechanism is difficult to operate

Ensure the euro profile cylinder is correctly aligned and free from debris. Lubricate the cylinder sparingly with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary. Confirm the door is not warped or binding, which could affect lock alignment.

Hinges squeak

Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or a silicone-based spray) to the hinge pins. Wipe away any excess.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The kit includes all necessary components for installation, including a 78mm euro profile lock, a 5-pin 35/35mm euro thumb turn cylinder, two euro escutcheons, 102mm ball bearing hinges, grub screw fixings, and back-to-back bolts.

Compatibility: This handle kit is designed for doors with a thickness of 35-44mm. Ensure your door falls within this range for proper installation and function. It is intended for use on fire-rated doors (FD30 and FD60).

Care: To maintain the silver finish and functionality, clean the handles periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the stainless steel surface. Ensure fixings remain secure over time, particularly in high-traffic areas.
