Determining the
Lock Location
Install the lock with the exterior thumbturn
at least 7" (18 cm) above your primary lock
set so it is comfortable to operate and not in
the way when you turn the door knob.
*A minimum stile width of 4" (10.16 cm)
is required for mounting,
figure 1-1.
Adjusting the Latch
This latch has been secured in the 2
3
⁄4"
back set position with a spring clip. If your
application requires a 2
3
⁄8" back set, remove
the spring clip by utilizing a small screw
driver (or similar) and inserting the tip
through the latch as indicated by the arrow,
and gently pressing on the spring clip until
is removed from the latch.
Marking the Door
NOTE: Be sure to use the correct
template (right-hand or left-hand
door - 2
3
⁄8" or 2
3
⁄4").
1) Carefully fold the template
(found in the center of this booklet)
as indicated in
figure 3-1.
2) Tape the template securely to the outside
of the door so that all the indicated folds
are properly aligned with the edge of the
door.
3) Use a center punch to make the marks
for drilling the seven holes precisely at the
points indicated on the template. The cen-
ter punch mark in the edge of the door
must be centered based on the thickness
of the door.
4) Remove the template.
