Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps preserve the finish and functionality of your Grandeur handleset.
- Cleaning: Clean the handleset regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishing agents, as these can damage the Antique Pewter finish.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray to the keyway and the latch mechanisms to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and debris.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Loose components can affect performance and security.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your handleset, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Key is difficult to insert or turn. | Dirt in keyway, worn key, or lack of lubrication. | Clean keyway with compressed air. Lubricate with graphite powder. Try a spare key. |
| Deadbolt or latch does not extend/retract smoothly. | Misalignment with strike plate, loose screws, or debris in mechanism. | Check strike plate alignment and adjust if necessary. Tighten all mounting screws. Lubricate the latch mechanism. |
