FAQs

What is included in the installation kit?

The kit includes a cut-to-size 100mm spindle, secure grub screw fixing, back-to-back bolts, the sash lock with an anti-rattle keep, ball-bearing hinges, and escutcheons.

Is this handle set suitable for exterior doors?

While designed for durability, this set is primarily intended for internal doors. For exterior doors, it's recommended to use hardware specifically rated for outdoor conditions.

Can I use this handle set on a door that opens to the left?

Yes, the included sash lock is designed to be suitable for both left and right-hand opening doors.

How do I determine if the spindle needs to be cut?

The spindle needs to be cut if it extends too far through the door, preventing the roses from sitting flush. Measure carefully before cutting; it should be long enough to securely connect both handles but not so long that it protrudes excessively.

What tools are required for installation?

Basic tools typically include a Phillips head screwdriver. A saw may be needed to cut the spindle, and a drill might be helpful for pilot holes or if the door is not pre-drilled.

How should I clean the satin brass finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough drying with a clean, soft cloth.

What is the purpose of the anti-rattle adjustable keep?

The anti-rattle keep is a component on the door frame that the latch bolt engages with. Adjusting it allows you to secure the door more tightly, minimizing noise and rattling when the door is closed.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Check and tighten the grub screw that secures the handle to the spindle. Ensure the back-to-back bolts are also securely fastened.

Latch doesn't retract fully or returns slowly.

Verify the spindle is correctly installed and not binding. Ensure the internal spring mechanism is not obstructed. Check that the lock mechanism is properly lubricated (use a graphite-based lubricant if needed).

Door doesn't close smoothly or rattles.

Adjust the position of the anti-rattle keep on the door frame. Ensure the door hinges are not sagging or misaligned.

Spindle is too long or too short.

The spindle is designed to be cut-to-size. If too long, carefully trim it with a saw. If too short, you may need to source a longer compatible spindle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • The satin brass finish provides an attractive, modern aesthetic.
  • Built-in spring mechanism contributes to reliable, long-term functionality.

Cons

  • The spindle length may require cutting, adding a step to installation if not perfectly sized.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have the necessary tools: screwdriver (Phillips head), measuring tape, possibly a drill and small saw for spindle adjustment.
  2. Follow the included diagram to position the handles and lock.
  3. Cut the spindle to the required length using a saw if necessary.
  4. Insert the spindle through the door and connect it to the levers.
  5. Attach the lock mechanism into the door edge, ensuring the latch bolt is correctly oriented for left or right-hand opening.
  6. Secure the rose plates using the provided screws and back-to-back bolts.
  7. Install the escutcheons around the keyhole.
  8. Attach the anti-rattle keep to the door frame, adjusting its position for optimal latch engagement.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for standard internal doors with a thickness typically between 35mm and 45mm.
  • The included spindle is 100mm and cut-to-size, accommodating various door thicknesses.
  • Suitable for doors that open either to the left or right.
  • Ensure the backset measurement of your door (distance from the edge of the door to the center of the lock mechanism hole) is compatible with the sash lock provided.

Care:

  • Clean the satin brass finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as they can damage the finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
  • Periodically check that grub screws and fixing bolts are tight to maintain optimal performance.
