Operating Instructions
The Schlage Custom Broadway Non-Turning Lever is designed for doors that do not require a latching or locking mechanism, such as French doors or closet doors with roller catches. To operate:
- Simply push or pull the door to open or close it.
- The lever serves as a fixed pull handle and does not engage a latch.
This non-turning function provides a consistent aesthetic with other Schlage Custom levers throughout your home, even on doors that do not require active locking.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Schlage Custom Broadway Non-Turning Lever, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the lever and trim with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishing agents, as these can damage the Bright Chrome finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Loose components can affect the stability and appearance of the hardware.
- Lubrication: As this is a non-turning lever, internal lubrication is generally not required. However, if any part of the mechanism feels stiff, consult a professional or the manufacturer's specific recommendations.
Troubleshooting
While the Schlage Custom Broadway Non-Turning Lever is designed for reliability, here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lever feels loose or wobbly. | Mounting screws are loose. | Tighten all visible mounting screws. Do not overtighten. |
| Trim plate is not flush with the door. | Improper installation or loose components. | Re-check installation steps, ensuring the core is properly seated and trim is aligned before tightening. |
| Finish appears dull or scratched. | Exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning. | Clean only with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners. Minor scratches may be buffed with a specialized metal polish suitable for bright chrome, if recommended by the manufacturer. |
