- To Unlock: Insert one of the provided keys into the keyway on either side of the deadbolt. Turn the key counter-clockwise until the deadbolt fully retracts from the strike plate. Remove the key.
Always ensure the deadbolt is fully engaged or disengaged to prevent damage to the mechanism or door frame.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your deadbolt.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant into the keyway to maintain smooth key insertion and turning. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt and dust.
- Inspection: Regularly check all mounting screws for tightness. Ensure the deadbolt operates smoothly without excessive force.
