6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Weiser Breton Passage Levers, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the levers regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the latch bolt and internal mechanisms to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants, which can attract dust and debris.
- Tightening Screws: Over time, screws may loosen. Periodically check and tighten all mounting screws to prevent lever wobble or sag. Do not overtighten.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Weiser Breton Passage Lever, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Lever is Loose/Wobbly: This is typically caused by loose mounting screws. Tighten the screws on both the interior and exterior levers. Ensure the spindle is properly seated.
- Latch Bolt Does Not Retract Smoothly: Check for obstructions in the door frame or strike plate. Ensure the latch bolt is clean and lubricated. Verify that the latch is installed correctly and not binding.
- Door Does Not Latch Properly: Ensure the strike plate is correctly aligned with the latch bolt. Adjust the strike plate position if necessary. Check for any warping in the door or frame that might prevent proper latching.
- Finish Damage: Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning. Minor scratches may be touched up with a matching matte black paint, but significant damage may require replacement.
