What should I do if I want to receive my order in multiple shipments?

If you would like to receive your products in separate shipments, we recommend placing two separate orders:
– one order for in-stock items,
– a second order for backordered items.

This allows you to receive each order within the timeframes listed on the product pages, without having to wait for all the items to arrive.

What should I do if I've already placed a single order that included both in-stock and backordered items?

If your order has already been confirmed and you would still like to have it shipped separately, this can be arranged upon request, subject to additional shipping charges.

To do so, please contact our customer service department by email at
ecommerce@laquincaillerie.com, specifying your order number.

Once approved, our customer service team will send you a payment link for the shipping charges.

—or by email at ecommerce@laquincaillerie.com.
Our team will respond as soon as possible, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Are the announced deadlines generally met?

The delivery times listed are estimates. In the vast majority of cases, they are met.
However, some products may require additional time, particularly due to constraints related to manufacturing, material procurement, or shipping.

We regularly update the delivery times listed on our product pages to provide you with information that is as reliable and transparent as possible and to ensure the best shopping experience.

⚠️ Specific lead times – manufacturers' vacation periods

Certain times of the year, particularly the Christmas and summer breaks, may result in additional lead times for made-to-order products. During these periods, many manufacturers and factories temporarily close, which can cause manufacturing and delivery delays of several weeks.

The lead times listed on the product pages are estimates and may change based on information provided by our manufacturers. We therefore recommend that you place your orders well in advance, especially for projects with tight deadlines.

11. Installation and Use of Products

Do the products come with mounting hardware?

Yes. Unless otherwise specified on the product page, all of our handles and accessories come with the mounting hardware needed for installation:
– Door handles come with a 6 mm or 7 mm square spindle, depending on the model, as well as the appropriate mounting screws.
– Furniture handles and knobs generally come with standard M4 screws (4 mm diameter, 25 mm length).
– Coat hooks come with “pigtail” screws, suitable for wall mounting.

For any specific configuration or special support requirements, we recommend that you review the information provided on the product page or contact our customer service department before installation.

Are the door handles included with the lock?

No, locks are not included with our door handles for mortise or rim locks. To install them, we recommend contacting a locksmith. Our door handles are then mounted on the door to frame the lock mechanism (mortise or rim lock). Almost all of our door handles come with L- and Y-shaped key escutcheons and a locking/unlocking system for bathroom and toilet doors.
– However, we do sell a few models of sliding door handles with a lock. To find them, search for “lock” in our search bar.

Are the products sold individually?

Our products are sold individually unless otherwise stated in the product description. Terms such as “set” or “pair” indicate the number of items included in that product listing. Please feel free to contact our customer service department if you have any questions.

Is it possible to place an order for items not listed in the catalog at La Quincaillerie?

If you’re looking for a specific item, you can contact our physical stores to order custom products (for example: with a specific center-to-center distance or additional rosettes). The door handle store can offer you pairs of plate-mounted handles with a special center-to-center distance, individual handles—known as “half-pairs” for right- or left-opening doors—and espagnolette locks. Most products on the website are sold in pairs (with a right-hand and a left-hand handle).
La Quincaillerie does not sell screws, door hinges, switches, light fixtures, or mixer faucets individually.

How can you tell if a set of door handles is suitable for use on an entryway door or exterior doors?

There are several factors to consider when purchasing a pair of front door or exterior door handles.
– Some exterior door locks require a lift-up door handle. This mechanism involves lifting the handle upward to engage and lock the locking points of a multi-point lock. The door handle must not have a return spring ( a mechanism that returns the handle to a horizontal position).
– The finish on the door handle must be durable and suitable for outdoor use.
– The size of the plate or rosette must fit the door perfectly.
When purchasing a pair of handles for your front door or exterior doors, we recommend contacting our door handle store. Our team will provide expert advice to ensure a customized installation.

12. The Stores and the Website

Do store staff have access to orders placed on the website?

No. Store staff do not have access to orders placed on the website and cannot track, modify, or process them.

For any questions regarding an online order (tracking, changes, delivery, billing, customer service), please contact our e-commerce department exclusively at the following address:
ecommerce@laquincaillerie.com

Our e-commerce team is the only one authorized to access information regarding orders placed on the website and to provide you with an appropriate response.

Are the inventory levels on the website and in the stores the same?

No. Inventory on the e-commerce site and in the stores is managed separately.
Therefore, it’s possible for a product to be available on the website but not immediately in-store, or vice versa.

If a product is listed as “in stock” on the website, does that mean it’s always available in-store?

No. A product listed as in stock on the website is not necessarily available in-store, as inventory is managed separately.

To check product availability in-store, please contact the relevant store directly by email:
– Furniture Handles Store: meubles@laquincaillerie.com
– Door Handles Store: portes@laquincaillerie.com
– Bathroom Accessories and Coat Hooks Store: complements@laquincaillerie.com

If a product is listed as "on backorder" on the website, might it be available in-store?

Yes. A product listed as “on backorder” on the website may be in stock in-store, depending on the item and quantity.

To check product availability in-store or request a reservation, please contact the relevant store directly by email:
– Furniture Handles Store: meubles@laquincaillerie.com
– Door Handles Store: portes@laquincaillerie.com
– Bathroom Accessories and Coat Hooks Store: complements@laquincaillerie.com

If a product is in stock in the store, does that mean it's always available on the website?

No. Stores have their own inventory, and sometimes even exclusive in-store items, which may differ from the products and quantities offered online.
Therefore, a product available in-store may not appear as in stock on the website.

How can I find out the status of my in-store order?

Tracking your order depends on the type of products you ordered:
– If your products are in stock: They are reserved for you as soon as your order is confirmed. You can then pick them up in-store according to the agreed-upon terms.
– If the products require production time or are made-to-order: An estimated delivery time is indicated on your quote. As soon as your order arrives at the store, we’ll contact you by email or phone to let you know it’s ready and so you can come pick it up.

What is the return policy for in-store purchases?

Return policies vary depending on the type of products purchased in-store:
– In-stock products: If the products purchased in-store were in stock, you may return them within 30 days, provided they are in their original packaging and in perfect condition (with no scratches, dents, or signs of installation).
You will then be issued a store credit valid for 1 year, redeemable at all of our stores.
– Products ordered on request (made-to-order): If the products were not in stock and were specially ordered or made-to-order, they cannot be returned, exchanged, or refunded.
