6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Medeco deadbolt, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant or a silicone-based spray lubricant specifically designed for locks into the keyway and bolt mechanism. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and debris.
• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Check Fasteners: Occasionally check that all mounting screws are tight. Loose screws can affect the deadbolt's security and operation.

7. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Key is difficult to insert or turn:
      - Ensure the key is fully inserted and oriented correctly.
      - Apply a small amount of graphite or silicone-based lock lubricant into the keyway.
      - Check for any debris in the keyway.
• Deadbolt does not extend or retract smoothly:
      - Verify that the strike plate on the door frame is properly aligned with the bolt.
      - Check for any obstructions in the bolt path or strike plate.
      - Lubricate the bolt mechanism.
• Unauthorized key duplication:
      - Medeco keys feature a restricted keyway. Duplication requires specific authorization and can only be performed by authorized Medeco dealers. Refer to your Key Duplication Authorization Card.
• Loose deadbolt assembly:
      - Tighten the mounting screws that connect the interior and exterior assemblies. Do not overtighten.
