Troubleshooting

Latch does not engage or hold securely

Ensure the strike is correctly aligned with the latch. Check that the panel and frame are properly seated and that the compression is adequate. Verify the grip range is suitable for the panel thickness.

Difficulty operating the trigger or handle

Inspect the mechanism for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the latch is not overtightened against the strike. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts.

Seal is not tight or is leaking

Verify that the rubber gasket is properly seated and undamaged. Ensure sufficient compression is applied when the latch is closed. Check for any warping of the door or frame.
