Troubleshooting
Knocker is loose after installation.
Check that the fixing nuts on the inside of the door are tightened securely. Ensure the door thickness is within the compatible range (up to 6cm).
Striker ring does not hit the mane properly.
Ensure the knocker is mounted straight and level. Minor adjustments to the knocker's angle might be needed; ensure bolts are not overtightened, allowing slight repositioning.
Chrome finish appears dull or tarnished.
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials.
