Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These door handles are supplied in pairs complete with a square spindle bar and all necessary fixing screws. Standard installation involves removing the old handles, fitting the new spindle through the door, attaching the handles to the spindle, and securing them with the provided screws. Ensure the door is prepared for standard spindle and screw-in mechanisms.
Compatibility:
Designed for standard internal doors. The square spindle bar is typically 8mm. Please confirm your door's existing mechanism compatibility before purchase, though these handles are designed to fit most standard UK door setups.
Care:
To maintain the satin brass finish, it is recommended to clean the handles with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the hammered texture and finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth and drying thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
