Step 2: Prepare the door
a) Locate and mark the position for the handle on the door
b) Drill a shallow hole approx *10-15mm deep at the marked location (this is to allow a clearance for the threaded rod when
fully wound in during step 4).
*Check the diameter of the threaded rod and refer to this chart below for the diameter of the drill hole.
c) Fix the metal disk to the door using the 4 screws & screwdriver. Aligning the centre hole with the drilled hole in the door.
Step 3: Prepare the handle fitting
Gently wind the threaded rod into the rear of the handle as shown in the image below. Threaded rods of larger handles may have an Allen key hex to assist with tightening.
Step 4: Install
Insert the other end of the threaded rod into the centre hole of the metal disk mounted on the door. Wind the handle on until secure (see image 4 below).
NB: Exterior handles require a quality exterior finish on all surfaces including the entire rear surface to protect from water damage.
