Troubleshooting
Handles feel loose or wobbly.
Check that the spindle is correctly sized and securely fitted through the door. Tighten the handle screws firmly. Ensure the internal spring mechanism is correctly seated.
Bathroom lock is stiff or won't engage.
Ensure the lock is aligned correctly with the keep. Check for any obstructions within the lock mechanism or the keep. Lightly lubricate the lock if necessary, using a graphite-based lubricant.
The spindle is too long/short.
The included 100mm spindle is designed to be cut to size. Measure your door's thickness accurately and trim the spindle to fit snugly, ensuring it passes through both handles.
