Setup and Installation
This door lever is designed to fit all doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" in thickness. The latch is adjustable for backsets of 2-3/8" or 2-3/4". Detailed installation instructions are included with your product. The following provides a general overview of the installation process:
- Prepare the Door: Ensure your door has the standard bore holes for a door lever. If replacing an existing lever, remove the old hardware.
- Adjust the Latch: If necessary, adjust the latch backset to either 2-3/8" (60mm) or 2-3/4" (70mm) to match your door's specifications. Insert the latch into the door edge, ensuring the bevel faces the door frame. Secure with screws.
- Install Exterior Lever: Place the exterior lever assembly through the door bore hole, ensuring the spindle passes through the latch mechanism.
- Install Interior Lever: Align the interior lever assembly with the exterior assembly and secure it with the provided mounting screws. Ensure the levers are horizontal and operate smoothly.
- Install Strike Plate: Attach the strike plate to the door frame, aligning it with the latch bolt. Secure with screws.
- Test Operation: Close the door and test the lever operation from both sides to ensure the latch retracts and extends properly.

Operating Instructions
To open the door, simply push down on the lever handle. The latch bolt will retract, allowing the door to open. Release the lever to allow the latch bolt to extend and secure the door when closed.
Maintenance
To maintain the finish and functionality of your door lever, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the lever with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Lubrication: If the lever mechanism becomes stiff over time, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the latch and spindle.
- Tightening: Periodically check and tighten any loose mounting screws to ensure the lever remains securely attached to the door.
