Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the backplate?

The backplate measures 170mm in height and 40mm in width.

Does this handle come with a latch?

The product includes the lever set and fixings; please check your specific purchase requirements as mortise latches are often sold separately based on your door's backset.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is designed for interior bathroom doors only and may corrode if exposed to external weather conditions.

Can I install this on a hollow core door?

Yes, but ensure the door has solid blocking where the handle is mounted to provide enough "bite" for the mounting screws.

How do I maintain the silver finish?

Keep it clean by wiping with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using bathroom cleaners containing bleach or ammonia.

Troubleshooting

Lever feels stiff or does not return to horizontal position

Check if the screws are overtightened, which may be binding the spindle, or apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the internal spring mechanism.

Privacy thumb turn does not engage

Verify that the bathroom mortise lock is correctly aligned with the thumb turn spindle and that the spindle is fully seated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic traditional scroll design
  • All-in-one privacy thumb turn functionality
  • Robust and stable backplate construction
  • Complete fixing kit included for convenience

Cons

  • Limited to privacy-specific bathroom applications
  • Requires precise measurement of existing door boreholes
  • Silver finish may show water spots without regular maintenance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic hand tools, including a screwdriver and a drill for pilot holes if required. Ensure the door is at least 35mm thick to support the fixing screws.

  1. Measure existing holes: Confirm your door holes align with the 170mm vertical spacing of the backplate.
  2. Align and fix: Place the backplate against the door face and secure it using the provided screws.
  3. Test the mechanism: Rotate the lever and thumb turn to ensure they operate freely without friction against the door frame.

For care, wipe the silver finish down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the protective finish and lead to premature tarnishing.
