This section describes the basic operation of your 3-gorge mortise lock.

3.1 లాచ్ ఆపరేషన్

• When the door is closed, the spring-loaded latch bolt automatically extends into the strike plate, holding the door shut.

• To lock the door, insert one of the provided keys into the keyhole and turn it. The deadbolt will extend into the strike plate, securing the door.
• To unlock the door, insert the key and turn it in the opposite direction until the deadbolt fully retracts.
• The 3-gorge mechanism provides enhanced security when the deadbolt is engaged.

4. నిర్వహణ

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your lock.

• శుభ్రపరచడం: Wipe the visible parts of the lock (faceplate, handles, key escutcheons) with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the brass finish.
• సరళత: Periodically (e.g., once a year), apply a small amount of graphite powder or a silicone-based lubricant into the keyhole and around the latch bolt mechanism. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and grime.
