4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully to install your Ejoyous door lock. Ensure the door is prepared with the necessary mortise and boreholes before starting.
- Prepare the Door: Ensure your door has the correct mortise cutout for the lock body and boreholes for the spindle and cylinder. Refer to standard door lock installation templates if needed.
- Install the Lock Body: Insert the lock body (mortise lock) into the mortise cutout on the edge of the door. Secure it with the 4 small screws provided, ensuring it sits flush with the door edge.
- Insert the Spindle: Slide the square bar (spindle) through the square hole in the lock body. This bar connects the two door handles.
- Attach Door Panels: Place one door panel onto the door, aligning the handle with the spindle and the keyhole with the cylinder opening. Repeat for the other side. Ensure the rubber bearing is correctly positioned to reduce friction and prevent loosening.
- Secure the Panels: Insert the two long screws through the designated holes on one panel and thread them into the corresponding holes on the other panel. Tighten these screws evenly until the panels are snug against the door, but do not overtighten.
- Install the Locking Cylinder: Insert the locking cylinder into the designated opening through the lock body. Secure it by inserting the locking cylinder screw through the edge of the door into the side of the lock body, ensuring it passes through the cylinder's screw hole.
- Install the Strike Plate: On the door frame, align the strike plate with the latch and deadbolt of the lock body. Mark and chisel out the necessary recess, then secure the strike plate with the remaining small screws.
- Test Operation: Close the door and test the handle operation, latch, and key locking/unlocking functions from both sides to ensure smooth and correct operation.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your door lock.
- Cleaning: Wipe the lock handle and panels regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish. A mild soap solution can be used for stubborn dirt.
- Lubrication: If the key becomes difficult to turn or the cylinder feels stiff, apply a small amount of graphite powder (not oil-based lubricants) into the keyhole. Insert and remove the key several times to distribute the lubricant.
- Tightening Screws: Periodically check all visible screws (on the panels and strike plate) and tighten them if they have become loose. Do not overtighten.
7. Troubleshooting
Refer to this section for common issues and their solutions.
- Handle is Loose: Check the long screws connecting the two door panels. Tighten them evenly until the handle is firm. If the issue persists, the internal spindle or lock body may need inspection.
- Key is Difficult to Turn: The lock cylinder may require lubrication. Apply graphite powder into the keyhole as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure the key is fully inserted.
- Latch/Deadbolt Not Engaging: Check if the strike plate on the door frame is properly aligned with the lock's latch and deadbolt. Adjust the strike plate position if necessary. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the bolt from extending fully.
- Door Panels are Wobbly: Ensure the long screws are tightened correctly. The integrated rubber bearing should also be properly seated between the panel and the door to prevent movement.
