Helpful Tips
- Interior plate only: The 201 Series is always the inside plate — pair with a 200 Series exterior plate.
- Lever 96 vs Lever 98: Both levers are offered for the 200 Series plate range. If you require a broader choice of finishes on the interior plate, the Lever 96 variant is available in Marine Grade, Natural Anodised, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Stainless Steel, Satin Brass and Satin Stainless Steel.
- Lever only — no locking function: This configuration provides free passage from the interior. If privacy or locking is needed inside, consider the turnknob & lever variant (Function 04).
- Handing: Determined by which side the hinges are on when facing the door from outside. Left hand = hinges on the left.
- Thick doors: For doors 45–55mm, order long fixing screws SP2000-208 separately.
- Fixing: If the outside plate is concealed fixed, the inside plate must be visible fixed.
- Non-returnable: Confirm handing before ordering — this item cannot be returned once purchased.
