Can I install this on a door that opens to the left?

How do I clean the antique black finish?

To clean, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products to protect the finish.

What is the function of the anti-rattle adjustable keep?

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or wobbly.

Check that the handle screws are fully tightened and that the spindle is securely engaged with both handles.

Latch does not engage smoothly with the keep.

Ensure the tubular latch is correctly installed and aligned. Adjust the keep on the door frame for proper alignment and secure it firmly. Check that the anti-rattle mechanism is functioning correctly.

Spindle is too long or too short.
