Setup and Installation
Installation of the Weiser Troy Round Door Knob Lockset is designed to be straightforward, requiring only a screwdriver. Follow these steps for a successful installation:
- Prepare the Door: Ensure your door has standard bore holes (typically 2-1/8 inches for the knob and 1 inch for the latch). The backset (distance from door edge to center of knob hole) should be either 2-3/8 inches (60mm) or 2-3/4 inches (70mm). The door thickness should be between 1-3/8 inches (35mm) and 1-3/4 inches (44mm).
- Install the Latch: Insert the latch mechanism into the edge bore hole of the door. Ensure the latch bolt faces the door frame. Secure the latch with the provided screws.
- Install Exterior Knob: Insert the exterior knob assembly through the larger bore hole, ensuring the spindle/through-bolt passes through the latch mechanism.
- Install Interior Knob: Align the interior knob assembly with the exterior knob's spindle/through-bolt. Secure the interior knob to the exterior knob using the mounting screws. Tighten screws evenly until the knob is snug against the door, but do not overtighten.
- Install Strike Plate: On the door frame, align and install the strike plate where the latch bolt will engage. Secure with screws.
- Test Operation: Close the door and test the knob's operation. Turn the knob to ensure the latch retracts smoothly. Open and close the door several times to confirm proper alignment and function.

Operating Instructions
The Weiser Troy Round Door Knob Lockset is a passage function knob, meaning it does not have a locking mechanism and is designed for doors that do not require security, such as closet doors or hallway doors.
- To open the door, simply turn either the interior or exterior knob in either direction. The latch bolt will retract, allowing the door to open.
- To close the door, push the door shut. The latch bolt will automatically extend into the strike plate, holding the door closed.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your door knob:
- Cleaning: Clean the knob's surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Lubrication: If the latch mechanism becomes stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the latch bolt and internal moving parts. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and debris.
- Tightening: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness. If the knob feels loose, gently tighten the screws. Do not overtighten.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Knob is loose. | Mounting screws are loose. | Tighten the mounting screws evenly. |
| Latch does not retract smoothly. | Debris in latch mechanism or lack of lubrication. | Clean the latch mechanism and apply a silicone-based lubricant. |
| Door does not close properly. | Strike plate misalignment or latch bolt obstruction. | Adjust the strike plate position or check for obstructions in the door frame. |
