Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or sags

Check that the spindle is securely fitted and the handle screws are tightened. Ensure the spindle was cut to the appropriate length for the door.

Lock mechanism is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the sash lock is correctly aligned within the door and the strike plate on the frame is also aligned. Check for any obstructions within the lock mechanism. Lubricate the lock cylinder if necessary.

Door doesn't close properly against the frame

Adjust the keep on the door frame to better align with the sash lock bolt. Ensure the door hinges are not binding and allow the door to hang straight.

Hinges squeak

Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or graphite powder) to the hinge pins.
