Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the bolt, use a chisel or a router to create a mortise pocket in the edge of the door that matches the dimensions of the flush bolt faceplate. Once the mortise is deep enough for the bolt mechanism to sit flush with the door surface, secure it using the provided screws. Ensure the strike plate is aligned perfectly with the bolt throw to prevent friction. For care and maintenance, wipe the brass finish with a soft, dry cloth to prevent tarnishing. If the bolt becomes stiff over time, applying a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the sliding mechanism will ensure smooth operation.
