FAQs

Are these handles suitable for fire doors?

Compatibility with fire doors depends on specific fire ratings and door construction. It is recommended to check with your door manufacturer or a qualified professional before installation on fire-rated doors.

What type of lock mechanism do I need?

These handles are designed to work with standard mortice latches. For locking doors, you would typically pair them with a mortice lock that has a separate key cylinder and operated by a key.

Can I cut the spindle to any length?

The spindle can be cut to size, but it must be long enough to pass through the door and engage securely with both handles, while also accommodating the latch mechanism. Measure carefully to ensure a secure fit without being too long or too short.

How do I determine the correct backset?

The backset refers to the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the spindle hole. These handles use a standard backplate which often dictates the required spacing. Ensure your door preparation matches the dimensions of the backplate and latch.

What is the warranty period for these handles?

Information regarding warranty is typically provided by the retailer. Please refer to your purchase documentation or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.

Can these handles be used in a bathroom?

Yes, the matt black finish is suitable for general use, including bathrooms. However, it is advisable to ensure good ventilation and wipe them dry after use to maintain the finish.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Ensure the spindle is correctly seated and secured. Check that all screws attaching the handle to the backplate are tightened. If the spindle was cut, verify it is the correct length and not causing play.

Handle does not return to position after pressing.

Confirm that the spring mechanism is correctly engaged and not obstructed. Ensure the latch mechanism is moving freely and is not binding.

Difficulty installing the spindle.

Check the measurements for your door thickness and ensure the spindle has been cut accurately. The spindle should slide through the door and the latch mechanism smoothly.

Matt black finish is showing wear.

This may occur with prolonged heavy use. Try cleaning with a very mild soap and water solution, then drying thoroughly. For significant wear, consider if the product is subject to excessive abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Prepare Door: Ensure your door has the correct cut-outs for the latch and backplate.

  3. Install Latch: Fit the latch mechanism into the door edge.
  4. Attach Handles: Slide the handles onto the spindle, ensuring they are flush against the door.
  5. Secure Handles: Fix the handles to the backplate using the provided screws.

Compatibility:

  • These handles are designed for standard internal and external doors.
  • Requires a standard latch mechanism (not included if replacing handles only).
  • Ensure your door thickness is compatible with the spindle length after any necessary cuts.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the matt finish.
  • Wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
