Installation
The product must be installed according to the instructions included in the product packaging and the
door should be apertured according to the door “cut-out” dimensions and tolerances shown.
Prior to fitting ensure that:
· Doors stored on site are stored in a clean dry area free from cement, lime, paint, acid etc.
During fitting of the lock ensure that :
· No metal swarf or other contaminants enter the lock body.
· The fixing screws do not damage the product finish.
After installation of the door ensure that:
· The door is correctly adjusted with the correct clearances.
· The lock engages the strike plate correctly.
· The door is protected from building fall-out such as wet plaster, mortar, paint and welding splatter.
If the door becomes contaminated:
· Do not paint the lock body or faceplate.
· Remove wet plaster, cement, mortar and other droppings immediately, using ample clean water and a sponge or rag, to avoid permanent
staining or scratching of the product finish. If removal is delayed and scraping becomes necessary the surface finish may suffer.
Maintenance
Annually inspect the door to confirm that the door operates with the correct clearances, closes and opens without obstruction and confirm that the lock beak
slides easily into the strike plate aperture when the door is closed - adjust the door if necessary.
Annually check that when the door is closed, the lock can be locked by key and by the snib lever.
Quarterly wipe the strike plates with a soapy rag to remove built up debris and to lubricate the strike plate.
NB : The lock assembly has been lubricated for life, and should not be disassembled by the user.
Cleaning Powder Coatings
Every six months, powder coated surfaces should be cleaned to protect the finish. However, in areas where pollutants are more prevalent, especially in
coastal or industrial regions, cleaning should be carried out every two to three months.
To clean the powder coated surface:
1. Carefully remove any loose deposits with a wet sponge.
2. Use a soft brush (non abrasive) or cloth and a mild household detergent solution to remove dust, salt and other deposits. Do not use steel
wool, scrapers, scouring liquids or powders to remove deposits as these permanently scratch the coating surface.
3. Rinse off with clean fresh water.
Cleaning Chrome, Satin Chrome, Gold and Brass Finishes
Plated finishes are susceptible to tarnishing if they come into contact with moisture, wet paint, or water vapour. All plated finishes should be coated with a
non-abrasive furniture or car wax immediately after installation. Plated finishes should be regularly wiped with a non-abrasive furniture or car wax, taking care not
to scratch any protective finishes that are employed to protect the surface and prevent tarnishing.

Open the door and install the strike plate with two #10 x 13mm pan head screws.
