Re: won't unlock, handle is loose
Tighten all screws on lock to a firm tightness. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN as to bend the lock casing! Snug only. Use powered graphite to inject into lock and add to key working it back and forth into the lock.
Yes, it is a dead bolt like the one in the picture. My husband thought the problem was because of a loose handle that is below & he tried to remove it to tighten it up. He got it looser,but not removed, scratched the handle and the problem isn't solved.
is the lock a dead bolt like in the picture?
