Preparations
Check your Door and Lock Case. Before starting the installation, it is important to ensure that you have the right conditions for mounting the handle:
1. Which lock case do you have?
Our door handles are designed to fit standard lock cases for interior doors. In Scandinavia, Scandinavian lock cases, such as ASSA 2002, are the most commonly used, while European lock cases or modular systems, such as the Euro Cylinder Lock, are more common in Europe and the rest of the world. Check the marking on your lock case to ensure compatibility.
2. What tools do you need?
To install our handles, you will need a screwdriver, an Allen key, and possibly a drill if you need to adjust the holes.
You can apply a small amount of thread-locking fluid to the screws before fastening them.
This helps keep the screws securely in place even with daily use.
3. Check your packaging
Before starting the installation, check that the package includes the following:
- A pair of door handles (one for each side of the door)
- Matching key plates
- Screws and any additional accessories for installation
Note that the lock case is not included in the purchase.
Step-by-Step Installation
Prepare the door:
If there is an old handle already installed, start by removing it by unscrewing the screws holding it in place. Be careful not to damage the door. Clean the area around the hole if needed for a neat installation.
Insert the square spindle:
The square spindle connects the two handle parts so they function together. Insert the spindle through the door and into the hole in the lock case.
Install the handles on both sides:
- Place one of the door handles onto the square spindle on one side of the door. Hold it in place and position the other handle on the opposite side so that both handles connect to the spindle.
- Adjust the handles to ensure they are straight and comfortable to grip.
- Use the included screws to secure the handles together. Tighten the screws firmly with a screwdriver, but be careful not to overtighten as this can damage the door or the handle.
Install the key plates:
- Place the key plates on both sides of the door (where the key would be inserted) and adjust them so they are straight and align neatly with the handle.
- Attach the plates using the included screws. Tighten them with a screwdriver.
Adjustment and testing:
Once the handles and key plates are installed, test the handle by turning it to ensure everything works properly. If the handles feel loose or do not move smoothly, check the screws and tighten them if necessary.
Maintenance
Clean regularly: Wipe the handles with a soft, damp cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. Use a mild soap solution if necessary. To protect the finish of the handles, avoid exposing them to excessive moisture and chemicals such as bleach, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners. If needed, you can use a gentle metal polish on a soft cloth to restore their shine.
Care Instructions
Check the handle: The screws may loosen over time, especially if the door is frequently used. Regularly check and tighten the screws to ensure the handle stays securely in place. You can apply a small amount of thread-locking fluid to the screws before fastening them.
This helps keep the screws secure even with daily use.
