For factory-prepared doors only
Caution: If you use hollow metal doors, determine whether the
doors are reinforced enough to support the lock. If door rein-
forcement is not adequate, consult the door manufacturer for
information on proper reinforcement.
Simplified instructions
1 Install the latch so that the bevel on the latchbolt faces the strike.
2 Adjust the outside rose assembly so that the chassis is centered in
the door. Install the chassis from the outside of the door.
3 Install the inside liner, through-bolts, rose, lever and strike.
For field door preparation and detailed installation instructions, see the
following tasks.
1 Position template
1 Fold the template and place in position on the high edge of the door
bevel (see Figure 2).
2 Mark the drill points.
Note: Suggested height from floor to centerline of the lock is
40 5/16". If steel frames are used, the latch centerline must be in line
with the center of the strike preparation.
2 Bore two holes and install latch
1 Bore a 2 1/8s diameter hole from both sides of the door, to the cen-
ter of the door.
2 Drill a 1s diameter hole from the edge of the door that intersects the
2 1/8s hole.
3 Mortise the door edge for the latch face.
4 Install the latch and check the door swing. Latch tabs should project
into the 2 1/8s diameter hole. See figure 3 in task 3.
3 Install boring jig and drill two 5/16”
diameter holes
1 Install the boring jig (KD303) onto the door and engage with latch
tabs. Make sure the front edge of the jig is parallel with the door
edge (see Figure 3).
2 Drill two 5/16" diameter holes halfway into the door.
3 Turn the boring jig over and repeat steps one and two from the
opposite side of the door.
Note: Replace the boring jig after ten door preparations.
4 Adjust lockset to door thickness
