Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a mortice chisel and a drill to create the pocket within the door frame. Ensure you measure the door edge thickness to confirm the 76mm case fits without compromising the door's structural integrity.
- Mark the position: Align the lock on the door edge to mark the cut-out.
- Mortice: Carefully remove material to house the lock body.
- Test: Insert the lock and ensure the latch functions smoothly before securing with the provided screws.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the latch tongue to maintain smooth operation. Keep the faceplate clean and free from paint build-up during door decoration.
