Troubleshooting

• 1. Check door for proper installation (see pictures below). Verify 1/8" between the latch and strike.
• 2. Check hinges. They should not be loose or have excessive wear on knuckles.
• 3. If Latchbolt will not deadlock: Either strike is out of line or gap between door and jamb is too great. Realign strike or shim strike out towards flat area of latchbolt.
• 4. If Latchbolt does not retract or extend properly: Latchbolt tail and retractor may not be properly positioned.
  • a. Remove lockset. Look through 2-1/8" hole and verify latchbolt tail is centered between top and bottom of hole.
  • b. Remove latchbolt and insert lockset. Look through latch hole and verify retractor mouth is centered in hole. Adjust outside rose plate if not. (See #5 on page 3)
