Diagnostics
Use these simple guides to diagnose any issues you may have whilst fitting the lock.
1. On latch locks only. The outside knob and inside handle retract the latch when turned
TOWARDS the door frame.
The spindle is positioned at the wrong angle.
Refer to the installation instructions. Remove lock from door and reposition the spindle as
shown in the instructions. On hold open locks ensure that the blue handing screw on the lever
handle plate is in the correct hole.
2. The knob will not turn after entering the original code.
The code does not match the card.
Remove the lock and ensure the outward facing indicators correspond with the code. NB: The
'C' button MUST start every code.
3. The knob will not turn after entering a newly changed code.
One or more of the code tumblers are the wrong way around.
Re-read the code change instructions and check the buttons are fully rotated and the
indicators corresponding to your code are outward facing.
4. The latchbolt does not move smoothly in and out.
The lock is installed incorrectly.
Check that the lock is square on the door and positioned accurately over the latch. Check that
the latch is positioned horizontally and parallel to the door surfaces.
5. The inside and outside knobs do not return easily to the centre position after use.
The spindle is too long for the door thickness.
The spindle must not project more than 30mm (1 3⁄16") into the inside handle. If it does then
it will be trapped between the front and back handles and prevent them moving easily. The
spindle must be shortened.
6. The inside handle does not retract the latch.
The spindle is too short for the door thickness.
