Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly
Check that all screws securing the backplate are fully tightened. Ensure the spindle is correctly seated and secured.
Latch is stiff or doesn't retract fully
Verify the latch mechanism is installed correctly and not obstructed. Ensure the spindle moves freely and isn't binding. Clean any dust or debris from the mechanism.
Door doesn't close smoothly or rattles
Adjust the position of the keep on the door frame. Ensure the latch bolt is engaging correctly with the keep. Check that the anti-rattle feature of the keep is functioning as intended.
Spindle is too long or too short
The included spindle is designed to be cut to size. If too long, carefully cut it down using a saw to the appropriate length for your door thickness. If too short, re-check the door preparation and ensure no parts are missing.
