Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a router or sharp chisel to mortice the door edge to the exact dimensions of the bolt housing. Ensure the bolt is perfectly aligned with the strike plate or floor socket to prevent binding.
- Marking: Position the bolt on the center of the door's leading edge.
- Morticing: Carefully remove wood to create a recess that allows the faceplate to sit flush with the timber surface.
- Fixing: Secure with the included screws, ensuring the wood grain is not split.
- Care: Keep the mechanism free of debris or dust buildup to maintain smooth movement. A light application of silicone-based lubricant can be applied annually if the lever action feels tight.
