Bathrrom door fittings come with 8mm square spindle. The front side of the square spindle is provided with a slot, in order to be able to open the door with a screw driver or similar object from the outside in case of emergency.

The length of the square spindle is provided for a standard door thickness of +/- 40 mm. If your door thickness differs significantly, please make a note on your order.

Mounting instructions

Mounting of internal door fittings is effortless: After positioning the latch plates, the square spindle is put through the lock follower, the levers are fastened to the square spindle by grub screws on both sides (If the square spindle is too long it can easily be cut to the right length using a metal saw). Plates are adjusted and screwed onto the door leaf.

Mounting must only be carried out by a qualified specialist. We cannot accept any liability for damages due to incorrect mounting.

Care instructions

Brass lives! We always deliver brass fittings non lacquered. The surface is going to get darker, become more irregular and the colouration is going to become livelier. The door fitting will develop its own patina and converge to the look and feel of original historic fittings. If desired you may refurbish the mount. We recommend the polishing wool €��Nevr Dull€���. Nickel-plated surfaces are sensitive to acid. They should be cleaned only with mild detergents and a soft cloth.
