Troubleshooting

Fastener is stiff to operate

Ensure the locking grub screw is not overtightened. Slightly loosen the grub screw. Check for any obstructions or debris around the mechanism and plates. Lubricate moving parts with a silicone-based spray if necessary.

Locking mechanism does not engage securely

Verify that the mortice or hook plate is correctly aligned with the fastener. Check that the grub screw is properly seated and tightened. Ensure the window frame and sash are square and not warped, which could affect alignment.

Polished chrome finish appears dull or smudged

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Dry immediately with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Screws do not tighten properly

Ensure you are using the correct size pilot holes for the supplied screws. If the wood is soft or damaged, consider using wood filler or slightly larger screws if available and appropriate.
