8 TurboLock TL - 99
Section 3
Installation (Retrot)
This section details installation steps needed if you are installing the TL-99 on a door with a single cutout already
made. Replacing an older xture with a newer one is known as a retrot. If your door has never had a lock or doorknob
installed or otherwise has no cutout, please skip to Section 4.
• For easier installation, have another person help to hold the lock etc.
• Remove all parts of any old lock before installing the TL-99. In some cases, the old strike plate and/or box may be used.
• For your convenience, installation instructions are broken into segments. Read and follow the instructions for both Pre-
Installation and Main Installation.
• If your door happens to have two cut-outs, check the clearance between the two. Make sure there is enough distance so that
you may seal o any extra opening.
3.1 Pre-Installation
Part 1 - Installing the Latch
KEEP DOOR AJAR. At all times during, before, and shortly after installation, keep the door open. If the lock is
incomplete or improperly installed, and the door is then closed, the lock and/or door may become stuck.• After
nishing installation, be sure to use the door at least once to make sure all parts of the lock function correctly.
Step 1. Insert the latch into the hole and check it. The latch’s plate should sit ush against the edge of the door. (Fig. 1) If there’s
too much space behind the latch or if it’s sticking out of the door, the latch should be adjusted. If the latch needs
adjusted, move to Step 2. If it doesn’t need adjusted, skip to Step 3.
Step 2. Hold the front of the latch and the square opening from both sides, pull or push to extend or retract the latch end as
needed. (Fig. 2) Insert the latch back into the door.
Step 3. Check the latch’s bolt and make sure the rounded side faces in. Add 2x Wood Screws and use a screwdriver (not
included) to secure them. (Fig. 3)
