Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires only a screwdriver and basic alignment skills. To install, position the bolt on the desired door surface and mark the screw holes; it is recommended to drill pilot holes before driving the provided screws to prevent splitting the wood. For the strike plate, ensure it is aligned perfectly with the bolt throw to avoid friction. To maintain the black finish and smooth mechanism, periodically check that screws remain tight and apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the sliding barrel if it begins to feel stiff after heavy outdoor exposure.
