Maintenance
The TOGU HS13B-KB handleset is constructed from durable materials like solid die-casting Zinc alloy and thick brass, featuring a multi-layer plating for enhanced resistance.
- Cleaning: To maintain the finish, wipe the handleset with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Lubrication: The internal mechanism is designed for smooth operation without frequent lubrication. If any stiffness occurs over time, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the keyway.
- Corrosion Resistance: The handleset is designed to be corrosion, moisture, scratch, and fingerprint resistant, ensuring a long lifespan of 8-10 years under normal conditions.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your handleset, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Handle Sticking or Sagging: The handleset is designed with a robust spring mechanism to prevent sticking. If this occurs, check for any obstructions or loose screws in the internal mechanism. Ensure all components are properly aligned and tightened during installation.
- Key Turning Issues: If the key is difficult to turn, ensure it is fully inserted and not bent or damaged. A small amount of graphite lubricant in the keyway may help.
- Lock Not Engaging: Verify that the strike plate on the door frame is correctly aligned with the latch bolts. Adjust the strike plate if necessary.
