Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Weiser handleset, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the matte black finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a silicone-based lubricant to the keyway and latch mechanisms to maintain smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check all mounting screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Loose fasteners can affect the security and function of the handleset.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Weiser Amador x Casey Handleset, consider the following common solutions:

• Key Difficult to Insert/Turn: Ensure the key is fully inserted. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the keyway. Check for any debris in the keyway.
• Latch Not Engaging: Verify that the strike plate on the door frame is properly aligned with the latch bolt. Adjust the strike plate if necessary. Check if the latch screws are tight.
• Deadbolt Not Extending Fully: Ensure the deadbolt hole in the door frame is deep enough and clear of obstructions. Check for proper alignment of the deadbolt assembly.
• Handleset Feels Loose: Tighten all visible mounting screws. If the issue persists, re-check the installation steps to ensure all components are correctly seated.

For persistent issues, refer to the detailed installation guide or contact Weiser customer support.
