Troubleshooting
Bolt is difficult to slide
Ensure the door and frame are properly aligned. Check for any obstructions. Verify that mounting screws are not overtightened, which can cause misalignment.
Screws do not tighten securely
If mounting into soft wood, consider using wall plugs or wood filler. Ensure you are using appropriate screws for the mounting surface.
Bolt does not fully engage keeper
Adjust the position of the keeper plate on the frame to match the bolt's throw. Check for any warping in the door or frame that might be affecting alignment.
