Product Information
Full details
The Kempston Lever Door Handle in silver is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to add a contemporary, polished aesthetic to their interior doors. Its standout benefit is the dual-tone, ringed lever design paired with a finish that effectively masks fingerprints and everyday smudges, maintaining a clean appearance with minimal effort. While perfect for non-locking interior doors like living rooms or bedrooms, potential buyers should note that this specific model does not include a locking mechanism and must be paired with a separate tubular latch for full functionality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard carpentry tools, including a drill and screwdriver. To install, ensure your door is prepared for a standard spindle-operated lever. You must purchase a separate tubular latch to house the spindle mechanism, as this handle is designed specifically for latch-only operation. For maintenance, simply wipe the handle down with a soft, damp cloth periodically to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can compromise the protective finish over time. Periodically check the fixings to ensure they remain tight after months of repeated use.
