Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose
Check and tighten the fixing screws securing the handles to the spindle. Ensure the spindle is correctly seated within the latch mechanism.
Latch does not engage smoothly
Verify that the latch is correctly aligned with the strike plate on the door frame. Ensure no obstructions are present in the latch mechanism or strike plate hole. Check that the door is not sagging.
Hinges squeak
Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or graphite powder) to the hinge pins. Remove the pins, clean them, and reapply lubricant before reinserting.
Door does not close properly
Check hinge alignment and tighten any loose screws. Ensure the latch is engaging correctly with the strike plate and that the door is not binding against the frame.
