Setup and Installation
Installation of the Kwikset Casey door handle is designed to be a straightforward process, typically requiring only a screwdriver.
1. Prepare the Door
Ensure your door has the correct bore holes and is between 1-3/8" and 1-3/4" thick. The latch backset needs to be adjusted to either 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" to match your door's existing setup. This adjustment can be done with a simple twist during installation.

2. Install the Latch
Insert the adjustable latch into the door edge. Depending on your door's preparation, choose between the round or square front options, or use the drive-in collar. Secure the latch with the provided screws.
3. Attach the Levers
The levers are reversible, meaning they can be installed for both left-handed and right-handed doors. Simply position the levers on both sides of the door, ensuring the spindle engages correctly with the latch mechanism. Secure the levers and rosettes with the provided screws and Allen wrench.

Operating Instructions
The Kwikset Casey Passage Door Handle is a non-locking lever. To open the door, simply depress the lever handle. The latch will retract, allowing the door to swing open. Release the lever to allow the latch to extend and secure the door in the closed position.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Kwikset Casey door handles, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the handles regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Microban Protection: The door hardware is treated with Microban antimicrobial technology, which helps keep the surface 99.9% cleaner than an unprotected surface. This protection is built into the finish and works continuously.
- Lubrication: If the latch mechanism becomes stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts.
- Tightening: Periodically check and tighten any loose screws to ensure the handle remains securely attached to the door.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Kwikset Casey door handle, consider the following common solutions:
- Handle is Loose: Check all mounting screws and tighten them with a screwdriver. Ensure the rosette is properly seated.
- Latch is Sticking: Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the latch bolt. Ensure the strike plate is aligned correctly with the latch.
- Door Does Not Close Properly: Verify that the strike plate on the door frame is aligned with the latch bolt. Adjust the strike plate if necessary.
- Lever Does Not Return to Horizontal Position: This may indicate an issue with the internal spring mechanism. Ensure the handle is installed correctly and not overtightened.
