Troubleshooting
Pin does not engage with the latch
Ensure the staple is positioned correctly on the latch bar side and that the latch is fully closed before attempting to lock. Adjust the staple's position if necessary.
Staple is loose after installation
Check that all provided fixings are tightened securely. If the mounting surface is soft, consider using appropriate wall anchors (not included).
Beeswax finish appears uneven
This can be a characteristic of the hand-forged process. For a more uniform look, gently warm a small amount of beeswax polish and apply thinly with a soft cloth, buffing off any excess.
