Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard tools and is intended for wooden or metal doors. Ensure the door frame can support the weight of the steel bar.
- Compatibility: Verify your door width is between 28 and 41 inches. Check that the mounting surface is not glass.
- Handing: The device is reversible; adjust the orientation based on your specific door hinge side before final mounting.
- Mounting: Use the pre-drilled components for alignment. Ensure the strike plate is flush with the door frame to prevent latch binding.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the copper lock core for debris. Use a dry lubricant annually to keep the internal spring mechanism smooth. Inspect screws every six months to ensure they remain tightened after heavy daily use.
