How to Fit Universal/Bolt Fixing Pull Handles: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide by Vegnar

Universal/Bolt fixing pull handles offer a stylish and functional upgrade for any door, blending seamlessly with various design aesthetics. Available in diverse styles, these handles can elevate the look and feel of your room when selected with care.

To ensure a flawless installation, it’s crucial to choose bolt fixing pull handles with high-quality inserts, precise welds, and durable stainless steel bolts tailored to your door type—whether timber or glass.

What Are Universal/Bolt Fixing Pull Handles?

Universal/Bolt Fixing Pull Handles are door handles designed to be fixed through the door using bolts, ensuring maximum strength and stability. This type of fixing method is especially popular for heavy glass doors, timber doors, and metal doors, making them a go-to solution in architectural ironmongery.

Vegnar pull handles are crafted from premium-grade stainless steel and available in various finishes such as satin, mirror polish, matte black, and PVD-coated options.

This guide provides expert advice and clear steps to achieve a secure, long-lasting fit for your universal/bolt fixing pull handle.

Tools & Materials You’ll Need to Fix Universal/Bolt Fixing Pull Handles

Before starting, make sure you have:

  • Safety gloves & glasses
  • Drill machine (with glass or wood drill bits)
  • Measuring tape & pencil
  • M8 stainless steel bolts
  • Allen key/hex wrench
  • Rubber gaskets or spacers

Step-by-Step Installation for Universal/Bolt Fixing Pull Handles for Glass Doors

Universal/Bolt Fixing Pull Handles
  1. Prepare the Glass: Use a professional glass installer to drill precise M8 (8.0-8.5mm) holes at the required fixing centers, ensuring safety and accuracy.
  2. Insert the Bolts: Pass the Stud bolt through the holes and attach them to the ‘bolt-through’ bolt fixing pull handle on one side, securing the connection.
  3. Mount the Handle: Align the second universal fixing pull handle onto the protruding bolts, ensuring it sits flush against the glass. Use locking pliers to tighten the bolts for a snug fit.
  4. Secure with Grub Screws: Tighten the grub screws at both ends of the handle using the hex/Allen key, following the same even-tightening technique until fully engaged and stable.
  5. Inspect the Fit: Confirm the bolt fixing pull handle is firmly fixed with no play, ensuring safe and easy use from either side.

Installation Pro Tips for Universal/Bolt Fixing Pull Handles

  • Always use rubber gaskets for glass doors to prevent stress fractures.
  • Avoid overtightening, which may cause glass cracks.
