Roller CAMS
If the cam mechanism is tight – using a 4mm Allen key positioned at six o’clock, turn the roller cam ¼ turn towards the gasket on the door sash so that the narrow side of the cam is going to engage with the keeps on the frame.
If the mechanism is loose – as above but turn the cams ¼ turn away from the gasket on the sash so the widest side will engage with the keeps on the frame, this will achieve compression. If the lock is now too tight, adjust the cam gradually back towards the centre until the stiffness is reduced.
Hook Locks
If the hook mechanism is tight – use a 4mm Allen key to adjust the two rollers on the keeps so that they are at their widest setting.
If the hook mechanism is loose – as above but adjust the two rollers until the keep is in it’s most narrow position. If the lock is now too tight, adjust the keeps back a little at a time until the stiffness is reduced.
Shoot Bolts
If the shoot bolts are too tight – loosen the two screws on the keeps until the face plate can be lifted up. It can now be moved towards the opening. Important! – do this on both the top and bottom keeps. Now tighten up the screws and test the lock. If the mechanism is still tight, fully remove both of the screws from the keeps. Now turn the face plate over and screw it back into place. The keeps can be adjusted forwards or backwards as described above to achieve the required compression.
If the shoot bolts are loose – loosen the two screws on the keeps until the face plate can be lifted
and move it back into the recess of the frame. Now tighten the screws and test the lock.
