Hardware Troubleshooting
Symptom
Door is binding
Bolt will not deadlock
Bolt does not extend
or
retract smoothly
• Check that door and frame are properly aligned and door is free swinging.
• Check hinges: They should not be loose or have excessive wear on
knuckles.
• Check for sufficient clearance of the bolt within the strike-side jamb.
Correct this by increasing the depth of the pocket for the bolt.
• Check for misalignment of bolt and/or strike which may be preventing
bolt from properly entering the strike. With the door open, extend and
retract the bolt; if it is smooth, check the strike alignment.
• Bolt and strike are misaligned, see above.
• Check the backset of door relative to adjustments already made to bolt.
• Verify proper door preparation and re-bore holes that are too small or
misaligned.
• Verify bolt is installed with correct side up (Step 1)
