FAQs
What does 92mm/62mm PZ mean?
This refers to the distance between the center of the keyhole and the center of the spindle hole, essential for matching the lock gearbox.
Is this handle suitable for an internal door?
While it can be used indoors, it is specifically designed for external and patio doors requiring high-security multi-point locking.
Can I use this if my current handle is not sprung?
Yes, adding a sprung handle is often an upgrade that helps prevent handle droop, provided the measurements align.
Does this handle come with mounting screws?
Yes, the handle set typically includes the necessary hardware for standard door thicknesses.
Will the white finish fade over time?
The finish is designed to be weather-resistant and durable, though it should be cleaned regularly to prevent staining.
Troubleshooting
Handle does not return to a horizontal position
Check that the spring cassette is correctly seated and that the spindle is not binding in the lock gearbox.
Handle is stiff to operate
Ensure the handle is not overtightened against the door face and verify that the door is properly aligned in the frame.
Fixing screws do not align
Verify your measurement of the screw centers; if they are not 210mm, the handle is incompatible with your current door prep.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Versatile white finish fits a variety of door aesthetics

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, remove your existing handle and measure the distance from the center of the keyhole to the center of the spindle hole (the PZ centre) and the distance between the two screw fixing points (210mm). If these do not match your current door hardware, the handle will not fit correctly. During installation, ensure the spindles are correctly aligned with the lock gearbox. For long-term care, clean the surface periodically with a mild soapy cloth to maintain the white finish and apply a light silicone lubricant to the internal spring mechanism once a year to keep the movement smooth.
