Troubleshooting
Escutcheon does not sit flush against the door.
Ensure the door surface is flat and free from obstructions. For very uneven surfaces, a thin layer of sealant might be considered, though this is generally not required for standard installations.
Screws provided are not suitable for the door material.
The escutcheon is supplied with wood screws. If installing on a different material (e.g., metal door), appropriate alternative fixings will need to be sourced separately.
Beeswax finish appears dull or uneven.
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. Reapply a small amount of beeswax polish using a soft cloth and buff to restore the sheen. Avoid excessive application.
