Installation Steps
1. Choose the Mounting Position:

• Check that the chain can be easily engaged and released when the door is closed.
• Mark the fixing hole positions with a pencil.

• Remove both components.
• Drill small pilot holes at the marked positions to help guide the screws and prevent the timber from splitting.

6. Secure the Keep Plate:
• Position the keep plate onto the door frame.
• Insert the fixing screws and tighten until secure.

• Carefully open the door to ensure the chain restricts the opening as intended.
• Release and reconnect the chain several times to check it operates smoothly.
• Make any minor adjustments if required.
