Troubleshooting
Lock is difficult to turn
Ensure the door is fully closed and the latch is properly aligned with the keep. Check for any obstructions or damage to the mechanism. If the glass is slightly warped, this might affect alignment.
Key does not insert or turn fully
Verify you are using the correct key and that it is fully inserted. Check the keyhole for any debris or damage. Ensure the lock mechanism is not stressed by an uneven installation.
Latch does not engage with the keep
Adjust the position of the keep or the lock mechanism. Ensure there is no gap between the door and the frame when closed. The drilled hole for the latch might need slight adjustment.
Drilling the glass is challenging
Use a specialized glass drill bit. Apply steady, light pressure and use water or a lubricant to keep the bit cool and prevent cracking. Consider professional installation if unsure.
