Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this lock, ensure your door has the appropriate mortice depth to accommodate the 3-inch body. Use a chisel to prepare the recess if a previous lock is not being replaced. Secure the lock using the provided fixings, ensuring the strike plate is aligned correctly to allow the latch to catch smoothly. For care, wipe the lock periodically with a dry cloth to prevent dust buildup. Avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners that could degrade the silver finish over time. If the mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite powder can be used to lubricate the internal tumblers.
