Troubleshooting
Lock is difficult to turn or operate
Check for obstructions in the latch or bolt. Ensure the lock case and strike plate are correctly aligned. The door may have shifted; check door frame integrity. If the issue persists, the lock mechanism may need lubrication or adjustment.
Latch does not retract fully
Verify that the door handles are properly connected to the lock spindle. Ensure the spindle is rotating fully. Check for any binding within the lock case or issues with the strike plate alignment.
Door does not close or align properly
Inspect the door frame and ensure it is square. Adjust the strike plate position if necessary to match the latch and bolt. The door itself might be warped or hanging improperly, requiring adjustment.
Lock mechanism feels stiff
Apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant to the moving parts of the latch and bolt mechanism. Avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.
