)
All Mastercraft doors are set up with a 2-1/8"
bore hole set at either a 2-3/8" or a 2-3/4"
backset (depending on door type). Non edge prepped
crossbores are set for a 1" drivepoint latch. This is
done to allow installers to utilize drive point latch
systems, radius plate sytems, or square plate systems

)

To install the backset as a drivepoint system,
simply follow the lock manufacturers instruction for
converting to a drivepoint. Hammer the drivepoint
into place making sure the angled portion of the
backset faces the jamb

Our wallcovering department carries all the quality products you need to finish your new
door. Choose from a complete line of sandpaper, stains and finishing products to give your
project that professional look. Remember, always follow all the manufacturer's finishing
instructions.
1.) Surface must be clean and dry. 2.) Lightly sand and clean door of all dust and debris.
3.) Apply a first coat of oil-based stain, polyurethane, conditioners or primer (oil-based is
required) to all six sides of the door and jamb. 4.) When first coat is dry, lightly sand and
then clean surface. Once the oil-based primer has properly dried, a latex or water based paint
can be applied. 5.) Apply at least one finish coat. Allow ample drying time between coats.
IMPORTANT: Water-based stain, polyurethane or conditioners are not recommended. Only
oil-based stains, polyurethane or conditioners should be used. Apply
a minimum of two coats of sealer to all six sides of the door. Carefully follow all paint
manufactures preparation and finishing instructions. Do not close the door until the paint is
completely dry.
