A. DETERMINING THE LOCK
LOCATION
Install the lock with the exterior thumbturn hole at
least 7" (18 cm) above your primary lockset 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 recom-
mended for mounting (See Figure 1-1).
B. MARKING THE DOOR
NOTE: Be sure to use the correct template
(right-hand or left-hand door - 2
3
⁄8" or 2
3
⁄4").
If the wrong template is used, you will have to
redrill the door, leaving previously drilled holes
exposed.
B-1 Carefully fold the template on 2

⁄4"
line (found in the center of this booklet)
(See Figure 2-1).
B-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.
B-3 Use a center punch to make the marks for drilling the seven holes precisely
at the points indicated on the template. The center punch mark in the edge
of the door must be centered based on the thickness of the door.
B-4 Remove the template.
C. DRILLING HOLES IN THE DOOR
CAUTION: Positioning and drilling must be done
straight to ensure trouble free operation of the 7100
Series lockset. Improper drilling may result in exces-
sive force being exerted on the lock which may result
in the premature wearing of its mechanical parts.
You must do C-1 first otherwise it will be
impossible to drill the
1
⁄4" (6 mm) holes.
C-1 Use a
1
⁄4" (6 mm) drill bit to drill the four holes
marked A (See Figure 3-1). Begin drilling at a
slow speed and increase the speed gradually
until the tip of the drill bit emerges from the other side of the door. Repeat
this procedure from the opposite side of the door. This technique will pre-
vent splintering of the door or breaking the drill bit.
