6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your door lock.

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the lock with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray into the keyway and on moving parts of the latch/bolt mechanism. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and grime.
