Setup and Installation
Installation of the Weiser Phoenix Passage Door Knob is designed to be straightforward and can typically be completed with a screwdriver.
- Prepare the Door: Ensure the door has the correct bore holes and backset. If replacing an existing knob, remove the old hardware.
- Install the Latch: Insert the latch mechanism into the edge bore hole of the door. Ensure the latch bolt faces the door frame. Secure it with the provided screws. The latch is adjustable to fit either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.
- Install the Exterior Knob: Place the exterior knob assembly through the 2-1/8 inch cross bore hole, ensuring the spindle aligns with the latch mechanism.
- Install the Interior Knob: Position the interior knob assembly over the spindle and align the mounting posts with the holes on the exterior assembly.
- Secure the Knobs: Fasten the interior and exterior knob assemblies together using the provided screws. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten, to ensure smooth operation.
- Install the Strike Plate: Attach the strike plate to the door frame, aligning it with the latch bolt. Secure with screws.
- Test Operation: Open and close the door several times, turning the knobs to ensure the latch retracts and extends smoothly without binding.
Operating Instructions
The Weiser Phoenix Passage Door Knob is a non-locking mechanism designed for easy access. To open a door equipped with this knob:
- Grasp either the interior or exterior knob.
- Turn the knob in either direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise).
- Push or pull the door open.
The latch will retract when the knob is turned and extend automatically when the door is closed, holding the door in place without locking it.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Weiser Phoenix Door Knob, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the knob with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Lubrication: If the latch mechanism becomes stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the latch bolt. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and debris.
- Tightening: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness. If the knobs feel loose, gently tighten the screws to ensure secure attachment.
