Is the silver finish prone to fingerprints?

Troubleshooting
Flap catch does not hold the door/flap securely.
Ensure the flap catch and its corresponding catch plate are correctly aligned and firmly attached. Check that all screws are tightened. Verify that the flap or door is not too heavy for this type of catch.
Screws are difficult to insert or strip.
Pre-drill pilot holes of the correct size. If screws feel tight, use a manual screwdriver for better control to avoid stripping. Ensure you are using the correct type of screws for the material you are mounting into.
Chrome finish appears dull or tarnished.
Clean the surface with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a separate soft cloth to restore shine. Avoid harsh chemicals.
