• Grasp the handle firmly.
• Turn the handle to disengage the latch.
• Gently push or pull the door leaf in the desired direction. The maximum opening angle is 90 degrees.
• To close, push the door leaf until the latch engages with the strike plate.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your door block.

• Cleaning the Glass: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner to clean the frosted tempered glass. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the frosted finish.
• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the aluminum and plywood frame with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners for tightness. Tighten any loose hardware to prevent sagging or misalignment.
• Hinge Lubrication: If the hinges begin to squeak or become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pins.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your door block, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Door not closing properly: Check for obstructions in the door frame or on the floor. Verify that the frame is still plumb and level. Adjust hinges if necessary.
• Handles are loose: Tighten the screws securing the handles to the door leaves.
• Squeaking hinges: Lubricate the hinges as described in the Maintenance section.
• Latching mechanism not engaging: Ensure the strike plate is correctly aligned with the latch bolt. Adjust the strike plate position if needed.
