Troubleshooting
Bolt is stiff or difficult to retract/extend.
Ensure the installation is aligned correctly and not binding. Check for any debris obstructing the bolt path. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the mechanism if necessary.
Combination lock is not engaging or disengaging properly.
Verify that the correct combination is entered precisely. If the combination was recently changed, ensure the reset procedure was followed correctly. Double-check that all dials are fully in their designated positions.
Lock appears to be rusting.
While designed with rust-preventative coating, extreme conditions may require additional care. Clean the surface with a mild detergent and water, dry thoroughly, and consider applying a thin layer of protective lubricant suitable for outdoor hardware.
One-way screws are difficult to install.
Drill appropriate pilot holes for the screws. Use a screwdriver that fits snugly into the screw head. Do not overtighten, as this could strip the screw head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the preferred installation method (right-angle with side door buckle or flat with metal sheath) based on your door and frame.
- Position the bolt and mark the screw holes.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, ensuring they are appropriate for the one-way stainless steel screws provided.
- Secure the bolt mechanism and the strike plate/sheath using the supplied screws. The one-way screws should be tightened until snug and difficult to remove.
- Set your desired 4-digit combination by following the internal mechanism's instructions (typically involves aligning dials and actuating a reset lever before closing).
Compatibility:
This locking bolt is designed for most standard doors, gates, cabinets, and sheds that allow for surface mounting of the bolt and strike plate. It is particularly well-suited for wood, metal, and vinyl surfaces. Ensure there is sufficient overlap or frame depth for the bolt to engage securely.
Care:
To maintain performance and appearance, periodically wipe the bolt with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt or grime, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the rust-preventative coating. Periodically check that the combination dials turn smoothly and the bolt retracts and extends freely.
