Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard drill bit and a manual or electric screwdriver. First, align the bolt housing on the door and mark the pilot holes. Secure the housing using the provided screws. Next, align the receiver plate on the door frame, ensuring the sliding rod travels smoothly into the socket without resistance. For maintenance, lightly apply a silicone-based lubricant to the sliding mechanism once or twice a year to keep the movement fluid. Periodically check that all 6 screws remain tight, especially on exterior gates where vibration from opening and closing is frequent.
