Troubleshooting
Bolt is difficult to slide
Ensure the receiver is aligned correctly with the bolt. Check for any debris or obstructions in the bolt's path. Lightly lubricate the bolt mechanism.
Screws do not tighten properly
Ensure you are using the correct size screwdriver. If mounting into soft wood, consider using wall anchors for a more secure fit.
Door does not close fully when locked
Realign the position of the receiver on the door frame. The bolt needs to slide smoothly into the receiver without resistance when the door is fully closed.
Visible rust or corrosion
While made of 304 stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh corrosive environments may require periodic cleaning and maintenance. Wipe down with a clean cloth. For severe cases, a mild stainless steel cleaner can be used following product instructions.
