We recommend #8 screws at the appropriate length for securing the latch. The longer the screw (the thicker the door\/drawer front), the stronger the latch will be.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe recommend applying a quick spray of WD-40 or silicone lubricant into the top of the latch mechanism after installation for the smoothest operation. If you notice any friction using the latch adding additional lubricant will typically fix this.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen opening the latch, we recommend using your knuckles as a sort of lever against the door\/drawer frame to make the pulling motion easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf your latch isn't releasing freely\/easily it may be because the attachment screws are too tight - try backing these screws out slightly (1\/4 turn at a time).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach door or drawer should have its own latch and each latch needs its own \"catch\". For drawers, we recommend a \"rail\" for each drawer where the catch can be installed.
