Troubleshooting
Handles feel loose or wobbly
Check that all handle screws are tightened securely. If the spindle is too short, the handles may not be fully supported; ensure it is correctly sized and installed.
Latch does not retract or engage smoothly
Ensure the tubular latch mechanism is free from debris. Check that the spindle is aligned correctly and not binding. The door may need adjustment if it's sticking.
Door rattles when closed
Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame. Loosen the keep slightly and reposition it so the latch bolt engages more snugly, then retighten.
The spindle is too long or too short
The included 100mm spindle is designed to be cut. Use appropriate tools (like a hacksaw) to shorten it to the precise length needed for your door's thickness. If it's too short, ensure you have the correct door preparation or consider an alternative spindle if available.
