Check backplate or rose size, fixing centres, spindle size, door thickness and the existing latch or lock.
Door Handles for Internal and Entrance Doors
A handle is touched every time the door moves, so loose fittings or a poor match quickly become obvious. MacBlair stocks door handles for new doors and replacement work, with options suited to different rooms and locking arrangements.
Check whether the door needs a latch handle, lock handle or separate privacy function. Measure the door thickness, spindle and fixing centres, and make sure the lever clears nearby frames or mouldings.
Use the supplied template and fixings where appropriate. Keep both roses or backplates level, avoid overtightening and test the latch before final tightening. Check the wider door furniture range for compatible parts, and match the fixing arrangement with suitable door hinges where the installation requires them.
Door Handles FAQ's
No. The spindle, fixing pattern, lock or latch and door thickness all need to match.
Latch handles operate a latch only; lock handles include a keyhole for a compatible lock.
Fixings, grub screws or the spindle may be loose or worn. Inspect the complete assembly before tightening.
Only use handles and fixings permitted by the fire doorset evidence and installation instructions.
