Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a mortise chisel set to ensure the lock body fits snugly within the door frame. Before mounting, verify that your door thickness is compatible with the standard case size of the lock. For optimal compatibility, use with handles that match the door's existing backset measurements. To maintain the lock, apply a light, non-petroleum-based lubricant to the keyhole and latch bolt every six months to keep the internal levers moving smoothly. Avoid using heavy oils or aerosol cleaners that may gum up the mechanical components.
