Troubleshooting
Catch does not engage properly.
Check the alignment between the catch and the strike plate. Adjust the position of either component if they are not perfectly lined up when the door is closed. Ensure no obstructions are preventing movement.
Door feels loose or doesn't stay shut.
Verify that the strike plate is securely fastened and properly seated within the catch mechanism. Ensure the catch itself is also firmly attached to the frame.
Difficulty opening or closing the door.
Re-check the alignment. The catch mechanism might be binding. Ensure screws are not overtightened, which could warp the frame or mounting plate.
Scratches on the polished surface.
Use only a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials. Minor scratches may be buffed gently with a specific chrome polish, but care should be taken not to damage the finish.
