Setup and Installation
Before you begin, ensure you have the necessary tools: Phillips head screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, and a drill (if creating new holes).
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Door: If replacing an existing lock, remove the old hardware. Ensure the door has standard bore holes (typically 2-1/8 inches for the lock body and 1 inch for the latch).
- Install the Latch: Insert the latch into the edge bore hole of the door. Ensure the latch bolt faces the correct direction (beveled edge towards the door frame). Secure with screws.
- Install the Exterior Assembly: Place the exterior knob/lever assembly through the larger bore hole, ensuring the spindle aligns with the latch mechanism.
- Install the Interior Assembly: Position the interior knob/lever assembly over the spindle and align the mounting posts with the holes on the exterior assembly.
- Secure the Assemblies: Fasten the interior and exterior assemblies together using the provided mounting screws. Do not overtighten; ensure the lock operates smoothly.
- Install the Strike Plate: On the door frame, align the strike plate with the latch bolt and secure it with screws. Ensure the latch bolt fully extends into the strike plate when the door is closed.
- Test Operation: Close the door and test the lock's operation from both the interior and exterior. Ensure the latch retracts and extends smoothly, and the lock engages properly.
For visual guidance, refer to the installation diagrams typically found on the product packaging or a dedicated installation guide.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Ulecoce Front Door Lock Set.
- Cleaning: Wipe the lock set 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 graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray to the keyway and latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Check Screws: Occasionally check and tighten any loose mounting screws to prevent wobbling and ensure secure installation.
- Inspect for Wear: If you notice any significant wear, damage, or difficulty in operation, consider contacting customer support for assistance or replacement.
