Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a wood chisel to create a clean mortise pocket that allows the bolt faceplate to sit perfectly level with the door surface. Once the pocket is prepared, align the bolt mechanism and secure it with the provided screws. Ensure the strike plate is accurately positioned on the floor or head jamb to avoid binding. For maintenance, keep the bolt mechanism free of dust or debris. If the movement becomes stiff over time, applying a small amount of dry lubricant to the sliding bolt rod can ensure smooth operation for years to come.
