Question 9

What safety considerations should I keep in mind during installation and use?

Accepted Answer

Ensure you install at a height and position that avoids pinching fingers and keeps the bolt fully aligned with the strike plate. Use proper screws for the door material, avoid over-tightening, and keep screws out of reach of small children to prevent accidents.

Question 10

Regularly inspect the bolt and screws for loosening, clean off dirt or corrosion, and lubricate the bolt with a light oil if it starts to feel stiff. Replace any damaged screws or components to maintain security.

Question 11

How do I determine the right size for my door and whether this bolt will fit?
