a
) Once the shim locations are nailed in place, cut
each shim location ush with the rst half of the
frame
(
g.14
)
.
b
) Using the second half of the frame, (set aside in
Step 2), carefully slide the two halves of the frame
together. Push the frame into place until the casing
is tight against the wall around the entire perimeter
of the frame
(
g.15
)
.
c
) Using 6d nishing nails, nail both halves of
the frame together by nailing directly through
the center of the stop. Place one nail in each shim
location
(
g.16
)
.
d
) Open the door unit and remove two of the top
hinge screws. Replace these with (2) #8 x 2 ½”
construction screws. This will help prevent the door
from sagging over time
(
g.17
).
e
) Finish by nailing the casing to the wall on both
sides using 4d nishing nails
(
g.18
)
. Note: For a
more nished look, use a nail set and a hammer
to countersink the nail heads. Use a matching
ller to ll all nail holes
(
g.19 & 20
).

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). All 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
(
g.21
)
.

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

Install the strike plate on the jamb. Our jambs are mortised for a ¼" radius strike plate. If the lock
manufacturer has supplied a square plate, mark the outside edge
(

)
and use a chisel to remove
the excess wood material from around the corners of the plate
(
