Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly.
Ensure the spindle is correctly inserted through the lock and both handles. Tighten the grub screws that secure the handles to the spindle. If the spindle is too long, it might not be fully engaged; re-cut the spindle to the appropriate length.
Handle does not return to the horizontal position.
Check that the built-in spring mechanism is not obstructed. Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned and that the lock mechanism itself is functioning smoothly. If the issue persists, the lock mechanism may require attention.
Screws do not seem to fit or thread correctly.
Verify that you are using the correct screws provided for the backplate. Ensure the screw holes in the door are clear and undamaged. Do not force screws; if resistance is met, check alignment.
Matt black finish shows marks easily.
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals. If marks persist, try a specific cleaner designed for powder-coated or matt finishes, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
