Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this latch, you will need a drill, a wood chisel for the mortice plate, and a screwdriver. Since no fixings are provided, ensure you purchase high-quality wood screws that match the gold finish for a cohesive look.
- Measure and mark the position on the door edge.
- Use a chisel to create the necessary recess for the faceplate.
- Drill the hole for the spindle and the latch housing.
- Insert the latch and secure it using your own screws.
For care, periodically wipe the faceplate with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the gold-toned finish over time. If the latch begins to feel stiff, a light application of dry silicone lubricant inside the mechanism is recommended.
