Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your cabinet frames are level and the hinges are correctly adjusted before mounting the latch. The product includes all required fixings; align the latch body with the inner cabinet wall to ensure the plunger meets the door at the precise contact point. For long-term reliability, periodically check that the fixing screws remain tight and the lever arm is free of debris. As this is a mechanical component, avoid forcing the door if the latch fails to release; instead, check the internal alignment. The durable grey casing is easy to wipe down with a damp cloth, requiring no special cleaning chemicals to maintain its finish.
