Operating Instructions
The GOBEKOR Privacy Door Levers provide a simple and effective way to secure your private spaces.
Locking the Door (Interior):

Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your GOBEKOR door levers.
- Cleaning: Clean the levers regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishing agents, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
- Lubrication: If the lever action becomes stiff over time, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the latch mechanism. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and debris.
- Tightening Screws: Periodically check and tighten any loose mounting screws to ensure the lever remains securely attached to the door.

If you encounter issues with your GOBEKOR Privacy Door Levers, refer to the following common solutions:
