Operating Instructions

Figure 2: Privacy Function - This image illustrates the privacy locking mechanism from both the inside (turn thumb) and outside (emergency coin slot).

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.
