Troubleshooting
Latch does not engage smoothly.
Ensure the door and frame are properly aligned. Check that the latch and strike plate are installed in a straight line and that no part of the door or frame is obstructing the movement. Slightly adjust the position of the strike plate or latch if necessary.
Screws do not tighten securely.
If mounting into soft wood, the pilot holes may be too large. Consider using wood filler or slightly larger screws. If mounting into metal, ensure appropriate fasteners are used for metal surfaces.
Latch appears loose after installation.
Double-check that all screws are fully tightened. Ensure the mounting surface is solid and not warped or damaged.
