Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, position the main bolt body on the door and the keeper plate on the frame, ensuring the sliding mechanism operates without obstruction. Use appropriate wood or metal screws depending on your surface material. For exterior installations, it is recommended to drill pilot holes first to prevent wood splitting. To maintain the unit, check periodically for loose screws and apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the sliding shaft if movement becomes stiff. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the weather-resistant coating.
