Setup, Compatibility & Care
For successful installation, first ensure your current door mortise matches the dimensions required for a standard UK 3-lever sash lock. To maintain the lock's smooth operation, avoid using heavy oils or thick lubricants, as these can attract dust and debris; a light application of dry PTFE or graphite spray is recommended if the mechanism feels stiff. Regularly check that the screws on the faceplate are tight to prevent loose hardware, which can cause the latch to misalign over time. When retrofitting, always double-check the backset and the distance between the handle spindle and the keyhole to confirm it matches the Zoo Hardware specification.
