Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, you will need a drill, a screwdriver, and an appropriate mortice latch. Ensure your latch is rated as 'heavy-duty' to support the weight and unsprung mechanism of the Triago knob.
- Measure the backset (distance from the door edge to the center of the handle) to ensure your latch matches your door.
- Align the backplates carefully before tightening the screws to prevent binding.
- Test the knob movement several times before fully tightening the fixings.
To maintain the pewter finish, clean the knobs periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the finish and dull the aesthetic. If the movement becomes stiff over time, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant to the latch mechanism should restore smooth operation.
