3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and security of your Grandeur deadbolt. This product is hand-assembled in the USA, ensuring high quality. Follow these general steps for installation:
- Prepare the Door: Ensure your door is properly bored for a deadbolt. Standard bore holes are typically 2-1/8 inches in diameter for the main lock body and 1 inch for the latch. The backset (distance from the door edge to the center of the bore hole) should be either 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches.
- Install the Latch: Insert the deadbolt latch into the edge of the door. Ensure the latch bolt faces the correct direction for your door swing. Secure it with the provided screws.
- Install the Exterior Cylinder: Place the exterior deadbolt cylinder through the bore hole from the outside of the door. Ensure the tailpiece (the flat bar extending from the cylinder) aligns with the slot in the latch mechanism.
- Install the Interior Cylinder: From the inside of the door, align the interior deadbolt cylinder with the tailpiece and the mounting posts from the exterior cylinder.
- Secure the Deadbolt: Use the provided screws to fasten the interior and exterior components together. Tighten screws evenly to prevent binding, but do not overtighten.
- Install the Strike Plate: On the door frame, align and install the strike plate where the deadbolt latch will extend. Ensure it is flush with the frame and secured firmly with screws.
- Test Operation: Insert a key into both the exterior and interior cylinders and test the deadbolt's operation. It should extend and retract smoothly without resistance.
For detailed diagrams and specific measurements, please refer to the installation template included with your product packaging.
4. Operating Instructions
The Grandeur Double Cylinder Deadbolt is designed for maximum security, requiring a key for both locking and unlocking from either side of the door.
- To Lock: Insert the key into the keyway on either the interior or exterior cylinder. Turn the key clockwise until the deadbolt bolt is fully extended into the strike plate on the door frame. Remove the key.
- To Unlock: Insert the key into the keyway on either the interior or exterior cylinder. Turn the key counter-clockwise until the deadbolt bolt is fully retracted from the strike plate. Remove the key.
Always ensure the key is fully inserted before turning to prevent damage to the key or the cylinder.
5. Care and Maintenance
To maintain the finish and functionality of your Polished Nickel deadbolt, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes containing harsh chemicals, as these can damage the polished nickel finish.
- Lubrication: Periodically, apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant (not oil-based) into the keyway to ensure smooth operation of the cylinder. Do not over-lubricate.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the screws and components to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary, but avoid overtightening.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your deadbolt, consider the following common solutions:
- Key Does Not Turn Smoothly:
- Ensure the key is fully inserted into the keyway.
- Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant into the keyway.
- Check for any debris in the keyway.
- Deadbolt Bolt Does Not Extend/Retract Fully:
- Verify that the strike plate on the door frame is properly aligned with the deadbolt bolt. Adjust if necessary.
- Check if the mounting screws are overtightened, causing binding. Loosen slightly and re-test.
- Ensure the door is not warped or sagging, which could misalign the deadbolt with the frame.
- Deadbolt Feels Loose:
- Tighten the mounting screws that connect the interior and exterior components.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Grandeur customer support.
