Troubleshooting
Bolt is stiff or difficult to slide.
Ensure the door and frame are aligned correctly. Check for any obstructions. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray to the bolt mechanism.
Screws do not tighten properly.
If the screw holes are stripped, you may need to fill them with wood filler or use slightly larger screws. Ensure you are using the correct pilot hole size for your wood type.
Bolt does not fully engage or retract.
Verify that the bolt and its housing are correctly aligned with the strike plate or receiving hole. Check for any paint or debris that might be obstructing movement.
