| What is a lever/pad handle? |
| A handle comprising a lever on the inside of the door and a compact pad on the outside. |

| How do I remove the handle from the door? |
It’s very simple.
With the door in the open position just unscrew the fixing screws that are located on the inside face of the back plate using a Philips screwdriver (in most cases there are two fixing screws but occasionally three). When releasing the screws be aware that the handle lever and plate on the outside will work loose so be prepared to hold things together with one hand! The levers will slide off the spindle (s) or can be pulled apart gently. Keep all the parts together and don’t let the door shut until you are ready to replace the handle unit. |

| Can the handles be used for aluminium or timber wi |
| Yes they can. However, the locks must be of a similar nature to that found on a PVC-U door and the only other difference will be the door thickness. Provided you supply the door thickness correctly and check the positioning of the fixing and key-hole centres then there should be no problem. |

| Is there an extended lever version? |
| Extended handles are available at a special request. Send an email with as many details of the hole positions as possible and we will do our best to find you a direct replacement. |

| Why is a French door handle different? |
| French door handles will be sent as a complete set of two pairs. One handle will be used for the main door and this will have the key-hole lock. The other door known as the slave door will have no key hole and this will be the only difference when viewing the handles apart from any handed positions i.e. left or right handed. You can use standard Lever/Lever handles but you will have to accept that both backplates will have key-hole cut-outs. |
