Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Cielsa Dawn door knobs. A Phillips head screwdriver is typically required.
1. Prepare the Door
- Ensure your door has standard bore holes. These knobs are designed for door thicknesses between 1-3/8 inches and 1-3/4 inches.
- Remove any existing door hardware.
2. Install the Latch Mechanism
- Insert the latch mechanism into the edge bore hole of the door, ensuring the bevel of the latch bolt faces the direction the door closes.
- Secure the latch mechanism with the provided screws.
3. Install the Door Knobs
- Separate the interior and exterior knob assemblies if they are not already apart.
- Insert the exterior knob assembly (the side with the emergency release hole) through the exterior side of the door, aligning the spindle with the latch mechanism.
- Insert the interior knob assembly (the side with the privacy lock button) through the interior side of the door, aligning it with the exterior assembly and the latch mechanism.
- Secure both knob assemblies together using the long mounting screws, ensuring they are tightened evenly. Do not overtighten.
4. Install the Strike Plate
- Align the strike plate with the latch bolt on the door frame.
- Mark and pre-drill pilot holes if necessary, then secure the strike plate with the provided screws.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Cielsa Dawn door knobs, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the glass knobs and satin nickel finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the finish and crystal.
- Lubrication: Periodically, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and debris.
- Tightening: Check mounting screws periodically and tighten them if they become loose. Loose screws can affect the stability and function of the knob.
