FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a 24mm spade bit, a screwdriver, and potentially a level and measuring tape for precise placement.

Can I install this on a hollow-core door?

Yes, but you may need to use longer screws or additional backing to ensure the catch is securely mounted.

How do I adjust the magnetic force?

The magnetic force is not adjustable. Ensure proper alignment for optimal performance.

What if the door and frame are not perfectly aligned?

Use the provided power adjustment packers to compensate for slight misalignments.

How do I clean the catch?

Wipe the catch and strike plate with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Is the catch suitable for exterior doors?

While the catch can be used on exterior doors, ensure it's protected from the elements. Consider the material of the door and frame and whether it is exposed to weather.

What is the warranty on the product?

Please refer to the product packaging or retailer for warranty details.

What is the difference between PLS24PRO and PLS24PRO-XHD?

PLS24PRO-XHD is a heavy-duty version with a stronger magnet, better for heavier doors or applications where a stronger hold is required.

Troubleshooting

Door doesn't close completely.

Adjust the catch position with the power adjustment packers to ensure proper alignment.

Door is difficult to open.

Check that the catch is not misaligned and that the strike plate is correctly positioned. Loosen the catch slightly.

Catch makes noise.

Ensure both the catch and strike plate are clean and free of debris. Check for any loose screws.

Catch doesn't hold the door.

Make sure the catch and strike plate are installed correctly. Try using the stronger PLS24PRO-XHD variant.
