Fitting Guide
Tools: a tape measure or ruler, the correct hand screwdriver, a door wedge and a soft cloth.
Before you start
Compare all three long-lever drawings with the existing handle and lock: 211 mm fixing centres, 92 mm PZ and a 248 × 32 mm backplate. The front view shows 131 mm from spindle centre to lever tip. Check the returned grip clears the frame and nearby furniture through its full movement, and check the spindle and door thickness before removing the old set.
Fit and check
- Open the door and hold it securely with a door wedge. Photograph the handles on both sides before undoing anything, so you can keep track of the spindle and inside/outside arrangement.
- Support the outside handle while you undo the fixing screws from the inside. Lift off the two halves and withdraw the spindle, keeping the old parts together for comparison.
- Compare the new spindle and screws with the door thickness and lock. Offer up both handles without forcing them: the spindle must engage the lock and both handles, and the fixing holes must line up. Follow the supplied instructions for any spindle or screw adjustment.
- Fit the two halves in the correct inside/outside positions. Start the fixing screws by hand, then tighten them evenly with a hand screwdriver. Stop if tightening makes the handles bind; check the alignment rather than forcing the lever.
- With the door still open, check that the lever returns, the latch retracts and the key and multipoint mechanism operate freely from both sides. Only then close the door and check normal locking and unlocking. Keep the key with you during the test.
