D or Ø

D or Ø followed by a number is an abbreviation for Diameter. The number is the diameter in millimetres of the knob or handle, eg. D25 or Ø25 is a diameter of 25mm and D30 or Ø30 is a diameter of 30mm

SHIPPING and HANDLING

Shipping and Handling costs begin at $12.50 inc GST and increase depending on the weight and dimensions of the order, they also depend on what state you are as we use a variety of different methods to get the product to you. Including Australia Post and various couriers/delivery companies. We always attempt to have the products delivered to your door, but in the case of some remote areas, this is not always possible.

The procedure from Australia Post and Courier/Delivery companies is to attempt to deliver the products once. If you or someone you nominate is not at the address a card with Australia Post or Courier/Delivery companies details will be left at the site. You will then need to contact Australia Post or Courier/Delivery company for further delivery details.

The shopping cart always updates and displays the cost of delivery to your door. If you have any queries please don't hesitate to contact us.
