Fitting Your New Handles & Knobs
Fitting a door handle or knob is a relatively simple exercise, but be
aware that if you have old latches or locks, some of the components may not be compatible with modern door handles
or knobs. Our guide on choosing door latches will give you loads of advice on the different types of latches which,
in turn should help you to decide which type of existing latches you have.
For the novice, selecting new door latches for non-locking doors can be a little confusing, but really your only
decision for doors in a house or apartment is what size you need. 95% of people use a tubular latch in a house or
apartment; either 63mm, 75mm or 100mm depending on whether they are fitting door handles on backplate, door handles
on rose or door knobs. Our expert guide on choosing latches provides all this information in detail and should help
you to decide which ones you need. For commercial applications the choices are largely dependent on the type of
building, what it is used for and the people who will be using it. In addition, building regulations must be
adhered to.
Our technical sales team is highly experienced in this field
and can advise you accordingly.
Window Fittings
The most common types of window in a residential situation are casement windows and sash windows.
Our advice guide on how to select window fittings will help you to understand what type of fitting you need for your
windows and what they are called. This will enable you to find the right product and know that you are ordering the
correct fitting.
