Troubleshooting
Latch is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the bolt is aligned correctly with the strike plate. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the bolt mechanism. Check for any obstructions preventing smooth movement.
Mounting screw does not seem long enough.
The included screw is for standard installations. If mounting on a thicker material, you will need to purchase longer screws of the appropriate thread size.
Latch does not securely hold the door/gate closed.
Verify that the latch is fully engaged and that the strike plate (if used) is properly aligned. Ensure the mounting surface is solid and the latch is firmly secured.
Red Bronze finish appears to be tarnishing.
While durable, the finish can be affected by harsh environmental conditions. Clean gently with a damp cloth and consider a protective wax if the latch is exposed to elements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired mounting location on your door, window, or gate.
- Align the latch and ensure the bolt can freely slide into the strike plate position.
- Use the provided mounting screw to secure the latch base to the surface. For optimal stability, ensure the screw is driven into a solid part of the frame or door.
- If needed, pre-drilling a pilot hole can make installation easier, especially in harder woods.
Compatibility:
This latch is generally compatible with wooden doors, metal gates, and window frames. Ensure the surface is flat and sturdy enough to support the latch. The included screw is suitable for standard wood thicknesses; longer screws may be required for thicker materials. It is designed for inward or outward swinging doors/gates.
Care:
- Clean the latch with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
- Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight.
- For smooth operation, a light application of lubricant (such as graphite powder or silicone spray) can be applied to the bolt mechanism if it becomes stiff.
