greaseafter thepenetratingand cleaning is completed.
Paddle
latches should be lubricated (white grease) every4 –6months,
or
if the paddlebecomes sticky
or restricted. Toaccess this area, the inside latch needs tobe removed (fourmachine screws), and the
insides of both theouter and inner latchmechanisms need tobe sprayedwith lubricant.
