ADJUST THE BACKSET

The backset is the distance from the door edge to the center of the spindle cam.

The spindle cam must sit straight (B3) and at the center of the bore hole to install

the lever. The two most common backset measurements are 2-3/8” (60 mm) or

2-3/4” (70 mm). To change the backset from 2-3/8” (60 mm) (B1) to 2-3/4” (70 mm)

CARING FOR YOUR LOCK

Our locksets are polished and then protected with a coating to help prevent tarnishing. This protective coating has limitations and in time may deteriorate from handling, cleaning or exposure to atmospheric conditions such as extreme climate, pollution and proximity to salt water, humidity and ultraviolet rays.

Eventual tarnishing is, therefore, not a defect, but a normal process which is unavoidable. With proper care, these products will last a long time.

To care for your lock, wash and clean only with water and polish with a soft, clean cloth.

LIFETIME MECHANICAL AND FINISH WARRANTY

This product is warranted to be free from finish, mechanical and workmanship defects for the life of the product. Taymor Industries Ltd. will replace any Taymor Premier series lock which fails to meet this warranty. Any finish deterioration occurring from use of paints, solvents or other chemicals is not a defect and therefore is not covered by this warranty. Taymor Industries Ltd. is not liable for incidental or consequential damages.

If your Taymor lock does not meet the warranted quality, return the product with proof of purchase information to the Taymor dealer from which the product was purchased. Go to taymor.com for full warranty information.
