Does a faucet's round type handle have to be removed in order to place and use this lock?? One review writes the handle has to be taken off.

Yes the round type handle has to be taken off. The lock is used in its place

The Guard'n'lock replaces the existing handle on the faucet. It is essentially a replacement handle that will only turn the facet on when its key is engaged, otherwise the Guard'n'lock handle spins freely. I purchased one, but had to return it because it was not compatible with my anti freeze faucet. So before you order, check to make certain that it is compatible with your facet.

Yeah-I recall having to remove it once when the pipes were being cleaned from rust. This is a really great faucet btw-for the price, it feels solid and heavy duty, yet simple and elegant. Worth very cent.

no. The one in that picture has no lock. Those with a lock have it in the center of the circle at the base of the handle.

Funny question, as in I never noticed this, but yes, the model I have, ordered from Amazon, has the handle on my right (looking at the faucet straight-on). The other picture provided by Amazon, of the faucet set in a sink next to the regular faucet, is how mine appears. -- of course, now I see, from another respondent, that the handle can be manipulated to either side!

I have no interest in taking mine off, but it seems you would just remove the shower head and twist off the flosser. The person who installed mine used some pipe tape to be sure it didn't leak and that also should help with removal. I am surprised there is difficult with removal. Not much help, but that's all I can figure out. Unless you hate the product or are moving and want to take it with you, why are you removing it? the suggestion to use two channel lock pliers makes sense to me.

Yes. You can turn off the water with the handle at any position. I have only two problems with this faucet. One, the spout does not easy go back into the stand. And two, the water stops flowing out when I pull out the spout to rinse the back of sink. The hose is too ridge it that it cuts the flow of water.

No, faucet head does not remove. It is one single piece that is threaded to fit things such as a hose etc...

If by 'faucet head' you mean the spout, yes. The spout can be removed. But if you do, there's no way to hook up some sort of a valve to the body of the faucet.I think what you mean is the 'head' on the end of the spout. But the spout simply terminates in a hose thread. So anything that will attach to a male hose thread will attach to this spout.

Yes, regardless of if your handle is positioned for running hot OR cold water, you can shut off the water. This has been a GREAT faucet. We are very pleased with the quality, function and looks. I love that the spout can be pulled from the faucet to fill large pots. Spout also retracts nicely.

My plumber told me it is not possible to remove the low flow regulator without breaking the faucet. This is intentional due to government regulations. Bummer, I know.

No, if you pull the handle to the out position, it should lock in place until you push the button to release it! If this is happening, I would send it back for a replacement.

yes the handle attaches just like a standard handle with center screw. they are the star type not square. and yes the center caps come off..i used mine in a remodeled shower stall. the look and operate wonderful.

There is a small nut from the new device that is suppose to fit into position once you have removed the on-off handle from your existing spigot/faucet. Thats gotten fit or your hosed (pun intended). The best thing to do is check the manufacturere's website as they have a very helpful video that will detail the installation. Good luck.

Tap handles are definitely removable, and I can't speak for the faucets, but it looks like the tower will take most faucets

Thanks for the confidence in me to answer your question. However I'm not a professional plumber and your stem number in something that I am unfamiliar with. However, what I do know is the one important element in selecting a faucet handle is whether or not it is a 12 spline connector or a square connector. Take the existing faucet handle off and look inside to see which type of connector it is. The faucet handles that I used my handles for were the 12 spline variety. Hope that helps.

The handle goes both to the right (for the water stream volume) and up & down (temperature). I think the assembly is 1 piece, although if you installed it sideways, the hose might turn. I don't think it would make sense, though. The upper part of the faucet pulls out, so the handle seems like it might interfere if it were centered.

To my experience all flow restrictors are easily removed, probably because they are only required in the USA and therefor a quick and dirty add on. I just stripped one out of a Hansgrohe hand shower easily with a pair of needle nose, although it might have fallen out with a good shake, but the holder that threads on to the pipe had one that was installed with a one way push in clip. Easily destroyed and removed with a small screw driver, not quite as easy as usual.
