FAQs
What is the purpose of the deadlock latch bolt?
The deadlock latch bolt provides a more secure closure than a standard spring latch, offering enhanced security against forced entry when engaged.
Can this knob set be used on exterior doors?
No, this knob set is specifically designed for interior doors and does not meet the security requirements for exterior applications.
How do I know if the adjustable backset will fit my door?
The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the knob hole. This set adjusts to fit either 60mm or 70mm backsets. Measure this distance on your door to confirm compatibility.
What tools are needed for installation?
Typically, a Phillips head screwdriver is required. You may also need a measuring tape to confirm the backset and door thickness.
How do I unlock the door from the outside in an emergency?
Most Yale bathroom knobs have a small slot or hole on the exterior side. A small, flat object like a coin or a thin screwdriver can be inserted into this slot and turned to release the lock.
What is the rose diameter?
The rose diameter for this Yale knob set is 51mm.
Is this knob set reversible for left or right-hand doors?
Yes, the set is designed to be compatible with both right and left-handed doors.
Troubleshooting
Knob is stiff or difficult to turn
Check for obstructions. Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned and that the door itself is not warped. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite lubricant may be applied sparingly to the mechanism.
Latch does not fully retract or extend
Verify the backset adjustment is correct. Ensure the strike plate on the door frame is properly aligned with the latch bolt. Check for any debris inside the latch mechanism.
Privacy lock engages but is difficult to disengage
Ensure no excessive force was used when locking. Check for any foreign objects obstructing the lock mechanism. Test the emergency release slot on the exterior side.
Door set does not fit standard door thickness
This knob set is designed for doors between 35-45mm. For doors outside this range, a different model or adapter may be required. Confirm your door's exact thickness before installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Install Latch: Insert the latch into the edge of the door and secure it with screws.
- Mount Knob Sets: Attach the interior and exterior knob sets through the door, connecting them via the spindle.

- Test Operation: Ensure the knob turns smoothly and the latch retracts and extends correctly. Test the privacy lock.

Care:
