Troubleshooting
Latch is stiff or difficult to rotate
Ensure the latch is correctly aligned with the strike plate. A small drop of light oil applied to the rotating mechanism may help. Check for any obstructions.
Latch does not engage with the strike plate
Verify that the latch and strike plate are aligned properly. Adjust the position of either the latch or the strike plate by slightly loosening screws, repositioning, and retightening.
Screws do not hold the latch securely
Ensure you are using appropriate screws for the mounting surface. If mounting into a softer material like particleboard, consider using longer screws or inserting anchors.
Finish appears to be discolored or corroded
Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If corrosion is significant, consider replacing the latch.
