 Parts Enclosed:
 Tools Needed: Door Preparation
Before drilling holes, measure up 38” from 
floor and mark height on edge of door 
in pencil. This will determine the height 
placement of the lock on the door.
Knob/Lever Hole- Drill a 2-1/8” hole into 
the face of the door. Bore from both sides, 
to prevent damaging a wood door.
 Strike Installation -Door Frame
Using the strike portion of the marking 
template, locate and mark strike mounting 
screws and centering points for the door 
thickness.
Align the strike and trace the outline onto the 
door frame using the mounting screw marks 
for location.
At the screw marks, drill two 1/8” diameter 
pilot holes for #8 x 3/4” screws. At the center 
point bore a 7/8” diameter hole 1” deep.
Chisel the area marked for the strike in Step 
16 to a depth of 1/16” or until the strike is 
flush with the door frame.
Install the strike using two #8 x 3/4”  
wood screws.
Measure the thickness of the door. Mark 
the center point on the edge of door that 
intersects with the 38” height line. This 
will determine where the latch hole must 
be drilled.

Position template on face of the door. If 
door is beveled, place template on low side 
of bevel. Mark the location of the desired 
backset in pencil at the 38” height line. 
Backset is the measurement of the distance 
from the edge of the door to the center of 
the knob or lever hole. 2-3/8” or 2-3/4”.

Latch Hole- Drill a 1” hole into 
the edge of the door at the point 
where the height line and center of 
the door thickness meet. You have 
already marked this in step #2. 
Drill the hole 3-1/2” deep.
