How to use
Installation requires basic tools, including a screwdriver and potentially a drill for alignment. Begin by inserting the spindle through the door mechanism, then align the handle plates on both sides of the door. Secure the plates using the provided mounting screws, ensuring the handle operates smoothly without binding. Test the cylinder lock function before fully tightening the screws to ensure the key turns freely.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the distance between the center of the handle and the center of the cylinder hole on your current door.
- Ensure the door thickness is compatible with the provided mounting hardware.
- Check the door handing, as some handles may require specific orientation.
Usage recommendations
Regularly wipe the handle with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the satin chrome finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the protective coating and lead to premature wear.
