FAQs
What material are the Perry Hot Bed Handles made from?
They are made from cast iron with a galvanised finish.
Are these handles suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the galvanised finish provides protection against rust and corrosion, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
What is the primary use for these handles?
They are most often used as handles on doors, cabinets, and gates, providing a durable and reliable grip.
How do I clean the handles?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised coating.
What is the length of these handles?
The handles are 150mm (approximately 6 inches) in length.
Do the handles come with screws for mounting?
Mounting screws are typically not included, as the type and length required depend on the specific application and mounting surface.
Can these handles be painted?
While painting is possible, it requires proper preparation of the galvanised surface to ensure adhesion. The galvanised finish itself offers protection and a functional aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after installation
Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely. If mounting on wood, check that the screw threads are properly engaged and not stripped. Consider using appropriate anchors if mounting on a less dense material.
Galvanised finish appears to be rusting
Minor surface rust can sometimes occur on galvanised steel, especially in humid conditions. Try cleaning with a mild detergent and water. For persistent rust, consult a metal care guide for galvanised surfaces. Ensure the handle is not in constant contact with standing water.
Difficulty operating the attached door/gate
This is likely an issue with the door or gate mechanism itself, not the handle. Check hinges, latches, or sliding mechanisms for alignment or obstruction. The handle is designed for pulling/gripping, not for operating complex hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These handles are designed for straightforward installation. Typically, they attach via screws through pre-drilled holes in the handle base. Ensure you have the appropriate screws for the surface you are mounting them to (e.g., wood screws for timber doors, machine screws with nuts for metal surfaces). Always measure and mark mounting hole positions accurately before drilling.
Compatibility: The 150mm size and robust design make these handles compatible with a wide variety of doors, cabinets, and gates. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the weight and leverage of the handle.
Care: To maintain the appearance and protective qualities of the galvanised finish, it is recommended to clean the handles periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which could damage the protective coating. In coastal or highly corrosive environments, occasional inspection for any signs of wear on the galvanising may be beneficial.
