• Universal Sub-Chassis: The “spare” part is typically the outer decorative cover which is designed to clip onto a standard steel or zinc baseplate.

• Durable Construction: Built from solid brass, stainless steel, or high-grade zinc alloys to withstand high-frequency daily use in busy households or offices.

• Satin Stainless Steel: Best for commercial settings or contemporary homes; it is virtually indestructible and incredibly easy to clean.

2. Slide the decorative cover over the handle before pushing it onto the base.
