FAQs
What does 92mm/62mm PZ mean?
PZ refers to the distance between the center of the handle spindle and the center of the keyhole; this handle uses an offset 92mm/62mm configuration common on dual-spindle patio doors.
Is this handle handed?
This offset lever/pad set is specific to the door function; check the configuration of your current handle before replacement.
Can I use this on a standard lever/lever door?
No, this is specifically an offset lever/pad handle set and will not function correctly on a standard lever/lever door system.
How do I measure the fixing centers?
Measure the distance from the center of the top screw hole to the center of the bottom screw hole. This model requires exactly 210mm.
Does this include the spindles?
The set is designed as a sprung pair for use with existing dual spindle locks; ensure your current spindle condition is suitable for reuse or replace if worn.
Troubleshooting
Handle does not return to the horizontal position
Check if the spindle is slightly binding or if the door alignment is causing resistance; ensure the spring cassette is seated correctly.
Fixing screws do not align with existing holes
Verify the door measurement is exactly 210mm; if it varies, you may need a different handle set as these units are non-adjustable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, verify that your door has the 210mm distance between the existing fixing screws and the correct 92mm/62mm PZ centers. To install, remove the existing handle set and clear any debris from the spindle holes. Align the new Avocet handle with the spindle and secure using the provided screws. Periodic maintenance involves wiping the silver finish with a soft, dry cloth to remove salt or grit, and occasionally applying a light silicone-based lubricant to the spindle to ensure smooth, friction-free movement.
