Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Ensure the spindle is securely fitted and cut to the correct length. Tighten the screws attaching the backplates to the door.

Lock mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check that the sash lock is correctly aligned within the door and that the keep on the frame is properly positioned. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. Lubricate lightly if necessary with a graphite-based lubricant.

Door does not latch properly.

Adjust the anti-rattle keep on the door frame to ensure it aligns correctly with the latch bolt. Make sure the door is not sagging, which could affect alignment.

Visible smudges on the matt black finish.

Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
