Installation & Best Practices

1. Mark & Level Precisely: Use a level to ensure the push plate is mounted straight; misalignment can detract from appearance.
2. Use Included Hardware: Fasten carefully using the screws provided to maintain flush seating without deforming the plate.
3. Seal Edges (Optional): In damp or exterior settings, a thin bead of clear silicone around the edges can help prevent moisture ingress behind the plate.
4. Clean Surface Pre-Install: Wipe the door area clean to remove dust or oils that may prevent tight sealing or alignment.
5. Periodic Maintenance: Clean periodically with stainless steel–safe cleaners to maintain finish and prevent corrosion or staining.
