FAQS

Q – How are the Mortice Sets assembled?
A - (1) Pass the angled spindle through the latch and use this to position the roses on each side of the door, with the spindle being centred.
(2) For secure fitting – spindle thickness is designed for the new universal standard 8mm square tubular mortice latch. If you have existing tubular latches you may need to reduce spindle centre by filing to fit.
(3) Attach the roses to the door using the 4 screws provided. THERE IS NO NEED TO OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS.
(4) Attach a Mortice Knob by tightening up the fixing screw to the tapered edge of the spindle.
(5) Pass the spindle through the latch and secure the second knob to the spindle on the other side of the door.
(6) If latch does not return freely then one Mortice Knob should be slightly released.

Q – How should I take care of my porcelain door furniture?
A – Occasionally wash them with warm soapy water and dry with a cloth.
You should never use abrasive cleaning materials as these will damage the surface.

Q – How do I know which door knobs i will need for my doors?
A – The Ceramic Store offers 2 types of fittings. A mortice knob set or a mortice single knob. A mortice knob set comes with a special patented angle on both ends of the spindle and is used on doors where there is a latch present to operate the turning of the handle to open the door. They are sold as a pair to suit one door. A mortice single knob comes with a tailor’s dummy spindle which is also angled on the end and is used where no latch is present for pull and push doors. See photos below.

The patented angles on the spindles are what makes our fitting secure and extremely easy to assemble to the door.  Carpenters have highly recommended the ceramic stores fitting to be the best in the UK. This spindle also allows for adjustment so the mortice knobs can be tightened to any part of the angled edge for door thicknesses down to 45mm (minimum).
