Instalación de Cerraduras Forte
Choosing the wrong model can result in improper installation and insufficient security. The 'I' model is suited for inward opening doors, while the 'E' model is for outward openings. Installing the wrong type could lead to functionality issues and reduced performance of the lock .
Before installing a Forte overlay lock, the door frame and door leaf should be properly installed. The lock is designed for doors with openings either inward or outward, with left or right swings, and suitable for doors with a thickness ranging from 35 mm to 60 mm .
The strike plate should be welded respecting previously made marks to ensure accurate alignment with the lock's mechanism. This is crucial to guarantee the lock's functionality and security .
Using a hole saw or flat drill bit measuring 30 mm to 32 mm is recommended for drilling. The drilling should be done straight and perpendicular to the door .
Check for the free rotation of the cylinder with the key and ensure the correct operation of the lock both from the outside and inside. Do not lubricate the cylinders with oil; instead, use a slightly damp clean cloth for cleaning .
The installation begins by placing the ring on the outer cylinder holder and inserting it into the drilled hole. The fixation plate is then placed with its protruding side inward and secured with stobolt screws, ensuring the Forte logo is facing upwards .
Position the protective shield over the outer cylinder so that the cylinder is centered with the shield's hole. Mark points for through bolts, drill with a 7mm or 8mm bit, then place and secure the bolts through the shield, washers, and nuts, trimming excess bolt length to 1mm from the nuts .
The installation template, which differs for left or right doors, should be positioned on the door's interior side. The center for drilling is marked using this template .
Although the installation of Forte locks is straightforward, it involves precise drilling, alignment, and mounting procedures that are best handled by a trained professional to avoid errors that might affect the lock’s performance and longevity .
Forte locks come with a lifetime guarantee. Consumers should read the box's back for details on terms and conditions to fully understand the warranty specifics and coverage .
