If you are installing handles which read on both sides, it is possible that the
spindle supplied may be too long. Proceed as follows to shorten the spindle to
the correct length:
Place the outer handle with spindle and lever handle on the door leaf
without attachment material.
Place the inner handle with lever handle on the protruding spindle.
Turn the inner handle carefully until it comes to a stop.
If the spindle is too long you will be unable to press the inner handle up to the
door leaf.
Measure the gap between the inner handle and door leaf.
Remove the halves of the handle from the door leaf.
Remove the spindle from the outer handle.
Danger of injury due to improper cutting of spindle
An incorrectly clamped spindle which slips can result in injury.
Metal splinters can cause eye injuries.
Wear safety glasses and safety gloves.
Ensure that the spindle to be shortened is correctly
attached in the clamping device.
Shorten the spindle in the proper way.
Attach the spindle correctly in a clamping device.
Shorten the spindle by a little less than the length of the gap.
Check the length of the spindle once again as described above.
Repeat the measurement of the length and the shortening of the spindle
until the spindle is of the desired length.
Use spindle without reducing bushes
The length of the spindle which is supplied is matched to the thickness
of the door leaf stated with the order.
Ensure that the spindle is of the correct length as described from
page
64 onwards.
