Is this nightlatch suitable for all types of doors?

It is suitable for most front doors. However, check the door thickness and backset requirements before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

What is the warranty period?

The ERA Double Locking Nightlatch comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Can I install this myself?

While the installation is designed to be straightforward, it is recommended to have some experience with lock installation. If you are not comfortable, consider professional installation.

How do I clean the lock?

Clean the lock with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

What should I do if the key breaks in the lock?

If the key breaks, use a key extractor tool to remove the broken key. If you are unable to remove it, contact a locksmith.

How often should I lubricate the lock?

Lubricate the lock's moving parts a couple of times a year with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

The lock is difficult to operate.

Lubricate the moving parts of the lock with a silicone-based lubricant. Ensure the strike plate is aligned correctly and not obstructed.
