Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly.
Ensure all screws are tightened, especially those attaching the handles to the door. Check that the spindle is correctly seated and secured, and that it has been cut to the appropriate length.
Latch does not retract or extend smoothly.
Verify that the spindle is moving freely through the latch mechanism. Check for any obstructions or debris within the latch or the door preparation. Ensure the latch itself is properly aligned with the strike plate.
Door does not close properly or rattles.
Adjust the position of the anti-rattle keep on the door frame. Ensure the latch bolt engages correctly with the keep. Check that the door hinges are not loose or misaligned.

Confirm the door preparation is suitable for the latch's dimensions. Ensure the spindle hole in the door edge is clean and unobstructed. Double-check the alignment of the latch with the door edge.
