Yes, the handles are fully reversible and can be installed on both left and right-hand opening doors.
Measure your door thickness and use a hacksaw to trim the spindle to the required length for a flush fit.
The adjustable keep reduces vibrations, preventing the door from rattling within the frame when closed.
You will typically need a screwdriver, a hacksaw for the spindle, and a chisel for mortising the hinges and latch plate.
Check that the door is not binding against the frame and ensure the spindle is not too tight; verify that the internal spring mechanism is properly seated.
Adjust the keep plate on the door frame to tighten the latch engagement, ensuring the door sits snugly against the stop.
Verify that all mounting screws are fully tightened and ensure the grub screw on the handle lever is secure against the spindle.
Installation is straightforward for the average DIY enthusiast. Begin by preparing the door hole according to the specifications of the 76mm tubular latch. Ensure the hinges are mortised correctly into both the door edge and the frame for a flush fit. The 100mm spindle is designed to be universal; measure your door thickness and cut the spindle to size using a hacksaw to ensure the handles attach securely without protruding. For maintenance, clean the black finish with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the antique-style coating over time. Periodically check that screws are tightened to maintain handle stability.
