• Reversible Handing: Suitable for both left and right-handed door applications.
• Standard Door Compatibility: Designed to fit standard door preparations.
• Aesthetic Design: The Grip-KN Levanto style with a rectangle rose offers a modern and elegant appearance.

• 1x Sure-Loc LV100 Grip-KN Levanto Dummy Door Lever Assembly

• Mounting Hardware (screws)

4. Setup and Installation

This dummy lever is surface-mounted and does not require a bore hole through the door for a latch mechanism. It is designed for doors with a thickness of 1-3/8" to 1-3/4".

Tools Required:

• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Pencil
• Measuring Tape

Installation Steps:

1. Position the Lever: Determine the desired height and location for the dummy lever on the door. Typically, this matches the height of active levers on other doors.
2. Mark Mounting Points: Hold the rectangle rose plate against the door at the chosen position. Use a pencil to mark the locations for the mounting screws through the pre-drilled holes in the rose plate.
3. Attach the Rose Plate: Align the rose plate with the marked screw holes. Secure the rose plate to the door using the provided mounting screws. Ensure it is level and tightened securely.
4. Attach the Lever: Slide the lever onto the spindle or mechanism extending from the rose plate. Secure the lever to the rose plate according to the specific design (e.g., with a set screw on the underside of the lever).
5. Test Functionality: Gently pull on the lever to ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble. Remember, this is a non-turning dummy lever, so it will not rotate or engage a latch.

5. Operating Instructions

The Sure-Loc LV100 Grip-KN Levanto is a non-turning dummy door lever. It is designed to function as a fixed pull handle and does not incorporate any mechanical latching or locking mechanisms. To open or close the door, simply use the lever as a stationary pull.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Sure-Loc dummy door lever, follow these guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean the lever and rose plate regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishing agents, as these can damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness. If the lever feels loose, gently tighten the screws with a Phillips head screwdriver.

7. Troubleshooting

As a non-mechanical dummy lever, troubleshooting is minimal.

• Lever is Loose: If the lever or rose plate feels loose, ensure all mounting screws are securely tightened.
• Finish Discoloration: Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals. Refer to the maintenance section for proper cleaning procedures.
