Locking the Door (Interior Side)
- From the inside of the room, locate the turn-button on the interior lever's rosette.
- Rotate the turn-button to engage the lock. The door is now locked from the outside.
Unlocking the Door
- From the Interior: Simply turn the interior lever or rotate the turn-button back to the unlocked position.
- From the Exterior (Emergency Access): In case of emergency or accidental lockout, a small slot is present on the exterior rosette. Insert a coin or a flat tool into this slot and turn to unlock the door.
Maintenance
Your Knobonly Privacy Door Handle is constructed from durable materials designed for long-lasting performance. Minimal maintenance is required to keep it in optimal condition.
- Cleaning: To clean the satin nickel finish, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Lubrication: If the lever action becomes stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the latch bolt and internal mechanisms. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and grime.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws for tightness. Loose screws can affect the handle's operation and security.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Knobonly Privacy Door Handle, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Handle is loose or wobbly. | Mounting screws are loose. | Tighten the mounting screws on both sides of the handle. |
| Latch bolt does not retract smoothly. | Accumulation of dirt or lack of lubrication. | Clean the latch bolt area and apply a silicone-based lubricant. |
| Door does not latch or close properly. | Strike plate misalignment or loose strike plate. | Adjust the strike plate position on the door frame or tighten its screws. Ensure the latch bolt fully extends into the strike plate opening. |
