FAQ
What is the difference between passage and privacy functions?
A passage handle has no locking mechanism and is used for doors that do not require privacy, such as hallways, closets, and living rooms. The handle operates the latch on both sides. A privacy handle has a locking mechanism on the inside (thumb turn or push button) that locks the exterior handle, preventing entry. Privacy handles are used for bedrooms and bathrooms. An emergency release slot on the outside allows unlocking with a small tool in case of emergency.
How do I determine if the handle fits my door?
The LD-271 handle fits standard door preparations with a 54mm center-to-center distance between the handle spindle and the latch/lock. The spindle is 8mm square, compatible with standard tubular latches. The handle fits door thicknesses from 35mm to 50mm. The backset (distance from door edge to spindle center) is standard 60mm or 70mm. Measure your existing door preparation to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
How do I install the lever handle?
Remove the existing handle if present. Insert the latch mechanism into the door edge and secure with screws. Insert the spindle through the latch hub. Slide the exterior handle onto the spindle and align with the door. Attach the interior handle to the spindle. Secure both roses to the door with the provided screws. Test the handle operation and latch engagement. Adjust the latch strike plate if necessary for proper alignment. The handle is reversible: simply flip the handle orientation before installation.
Can these handles be used on exterior doors?
The LD-271 is designed for interior doors (passage and privacy functions). For exterior doors, an entry function handle with a keyed cylinder is required. The entry function allows locking from the outside with a key and unlocking from the inside with a thumb turn. The materials and finishes of the LD-271 are suitable for protected exterior use (under a porch or awning) but are not recommended for fully exposed exterior doors where continuous weather exposure may accelerate finish wear.
