FAQs
What is included in the installation kit?
The kit includes one pair of handles, a cut-to-size 100mm spindle, grub screws for fixing, back-to-back bolts, and a heavy-duty tubular latch with an anti-rattle adjustable keep.
Can these handles be used on exterior doors?
While designed for durability, these handles are primarily recommended for internal doors. Exterior use may be subject to environmental conditions that could affect the bronze finish over time.
How do I determine if this handle set will fit my door?
The set is designed for standard internal doors. The cut-to-size spindle allows for adjustment, and the back-to-back bolts accommodate various door thicknesses. Ensure your door has the necessary pre-drilled holes for installation.
Is the bronze finish prone to scratching?
The bronze finish is durable for daily use, but like most finishes, it can be susceptible to scratching from sharp objects. It's best to clean with soft materials.
What is the purpose of the built-in spring mechanism?
The spring mechanism provides support to the lever, preventing it from sagging over time and ensuring a responsive and functional feel with each use.
How do I switch the handles for a left-hand or right-hand door?
The handles and latch mechanism are designed for universal handing. No specific adjustment is typically needed; they will function correctly on doors opening either way.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or sags
Ensure the grub screws securing the handle to the spindle are tightened properly. Check that the back-to-back bolts are also securely fastened.
Latch is stiff or doesn't retract fully
Check that the latch mechanism is aligned correctly with the keep on the door frame. Lubricate the latch mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary. Ensure no obstructions are present.
Door doesn't close smoothly
Adjust the position of the anti-rattle keep on the door frame to ensure the latch engages correctly. Check for any warping of the door or frame.
Bronze finish appears dull or discolored
Clean the handle with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
