4. Installation Guide

Follow these steps for proper installation of your TICONN Double Front Door Handle Set. A screwdriver is the primary tool required for replacement.

4.1 Pre-Installation Checks

• Ensure your door thickness is between 1 3/8'' (35mm) and 1 3/4" (45mm).
• Verify the backset measurement (distance from door edge to center of bore hole) is either 2 3/8" (60mm) or 2 3/4" (70mm). The latch mechanism is adjustable to fit both.
• Determine the door's handing (left or right opening) as the handle is reversible.

4.2 Step-by-Step Installation

1. Install the Latch Mechanism: Insert the latch into the door edge. Ensure the bevel of the latch faces the door frame. Secure with screws. Adjust the backset if necessary by rotating the latch housing.
2. Install the Deadbolt Latch: Insert the deadbolt latch into the upper bore hole on the door edge. Secure with screws.
3. Install the Exterior Handle Set: Position the exterior handle set, aligning the spindle with the latch mechanism and the deadbolt cylinder with the deadbolt latch.
4. Install the Interior Lever Handle: Attach the interior lever handle, ensuring it engages correctly with the spindle. Secure the handle set and deadbolt with the provided mounting screws.
5. Install the Bottom Post: For the double handle set, attach the bottom post of the exterior handle to the door. The bottom screw is covered by a decorative cap on the interior side.
6. Test Operation: Close the door and test both the lever handle and the deadbolt with the key from both interior and exterior sides to ensure smooth operation.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TICONN door handle set, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the handle set regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the matte black finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a silicone-based lubricant to the latch and deadbolt mechanisms to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants, which can attract dirt.
• Inspection: Routinely check all screws and connections for tightness. Tighten any loose screws to prevent wobbling or misalignment.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your door handle set, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Handle is Stiff or Hard to Turn:
  - Check for proper alignment of the spindle with the latch mechanism.
  - Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the latch.
• Deadbolt Does Not Engage Fully:
  - Ensure the strike plate on the door frame is correctly aligned with the deadbolt.
  - Check for any obstructions in the deadbolt hole on the door frame.
  - Verify the deadbolt latch is fully extended when locked.
• Loose Handles:
  - Tighten all visible mounting screws on both the interior and exterior plates.
• Keys Not Working Smoothly:
  - Apply a graphite lubricant to the keyhole. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
  - Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly.
