Setup (Installation)

Tools Required: Phillips head screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, drill with appropriate bits (if drilling new holes).

1. Prepare the Door: Ensure your door has standard preparation for a handle set. If not, use the provided template to mark and drill necessary holes.
2. Install the Latch Mechanism: Insert the latch mechanism into the edge bore hole of the door. Ensure the bevel of the latch bolt faces the door frame. Secure it with the provided screws. Adjust the backset to either 2 3/8 inch or 2 3/4 inch as needed.
3. Install the Exterior Handle: Position the exterior handle assembly on the door, aligning the spindle through the latch mechanism.
4. Install the Interior Knob/Lever: Place the interior knob/lever assembly onto the door, ensuring the spindle engages properly. Secure both interior and exterior components with the through-bolts or screws provided.
5. Install the Strike Plate: Mark the position of the latch bolt on the door frame. Chisel out a shallow recess and install the strike plate with screws, ensuring the latch bolt engages smoothly.
6. Test Operation: Close the door and test the handle set's operation from both the interior and exterior. Ensure the latch retracts and extends smoothly, and any locking mechanism functions correctly.

Operating Instructions

• Opening from Exterior: Depress the thumb latch on the exterior handle to retract the latch bolt. Pull or push the door open.
• Opening from Interior: Turn the interior slick rock knob to retract the latch bolt. Pull or push the door open.
• Locking: For models with a locking function, use the key from the exterior or the turn-button/push-button on the interior knob to engage the lock.
• Unlocking: Use the key from the exterior or turn/push the interior mechanism to unlock the handle set.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To maintain the finish, clean the handle set with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the latch bolt and other moving parts within the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Do not over-lubricate.
• Tightening Screws: Over time, screws may loosen. Periodically check all mounting screws and tighten them as necessary to prevent wobbling or misalignment.

Troubleshooting

• Latch does not retract smoothly: Check for obstructions in the door frame or strike plate. Ensure the latch mechanism is properly aligned within the door. Lubricate the latch bolt and internal mechanism.
• Handle feels loose or wobbly: Tighten the set screws that secure the handle to the spindle. Ensure all mounting screws are securely fastened.
• Difficulty locking/unlocking: Verify that the key cylinder or interior locking mechanism is fully engaged. Check if the latch bolt is binding against the strike plate; adjust the strike plate if needed.
• Door does not close properly: Ensure the strike plate is correctly aligned with the latch bolt. Check for any warping in the door or frame that might prevent proper closure.
