Frequently Asked Questions
Does this handle make my door DDA compliant?
The lever is designed to meet AS 1428.1-2009 at the handle level. Full DDA compliance for a doorway or building depends on other factors too (approach, clearances, thresholds and door hardware overall). Use the DDA chapter to see what else is assessed.

Is professional installation needed?
It is recommended for accessibility applications. Correct fitting also keeps the smart lock IP seal intact where the external handle is used.
