Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly.
Ensure the handle screws are fully tightened. If the spindle was cut, verify it is securely fitted through the lock mechanism and the handles are clamped onto it properly.
Lock mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions within the lock. Ensure the spindle is aligned correctly. Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary. Verify the door is not warped or misaligned, causing undue pressure on the lock.
Door does not close properly or latch securely.
Adjust the keep on the door frame to align with the latch bolt. Ensure the door hinges are properly installed and the door is hanging straight. The door frame itself might need adjustment.
Handle does not spring back to the neutral position.
The internal spring mechanism might be obstructed or damaged. Ensure the spindle is rotating freely within the lock. If the issue persists, the lock mechanism may need replacement.
