Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is designed for standard bathroom doors. First, ensure your door is between the recommended thickness range. If the spindle extends too far once installed, use a hacksaw to trim it to the appropriate length. Secure the unit using the provided matching screws. To maintain the silver finish, wipe periodically with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the protective coating. Check screw tightness every few months to ensure smooth operation.
