Installation Instructions
for 83K–85K Cylindrical Locks
Preparing the door
For factory prepared doors only
1 Install the latch so that the bevel on the latchbolt faces
the strike lip.
2 Adjust the outside rose so that the chassis is centered
in the door. Install the chassis from the outside of the
door.
3 Install the inside rose, rose ring, knob, and strike plate.
Caution: If you use fabricated hollow metal doors,
determine whether the doors are reinforced
enough to support the lock. If the door reinforcement is not adequate, consult the door manufacturer for information on proper reinforcement.
Note: For detailed installation instructions, see the following steps.

Door jamb
Strike box

1 Mortise the door jamb to fit the strike box and strike
plate. Make sure to align the strike plate and latchbolt
centers.
Caution: The deadlocking plunger of the latchbolt

Strike plate

must not enter the strike plate. The plunger deadlocks
the latchbolt and prevents forcing the latch when the
door is closed. Excessive gap may reduce security and/
or cause malfunction of the latchbolt assembly. A maximum door gap of 1/8″ is recommended.

Installing the strike

2 Insert the strike box and secure the strike plate with
the screws provided.

not, change the hand of the lock.

Install core

For 6-pin core users only: Slide the spacer — supplied with your 6-pin cores — over the 7-pin throw
member (see Figure 11, top right).
Note: If you have ordered 6-pin cores, you will get one
spacer per core with your order. Spacers are not supplied
with locks.
1 Insert the throw member (or throw member and
spacer) into the back of the core (see Figure 11, top).
2 Put the control key into the core and turn the key 15
degrees clockwise.
3 Put the core and throw member into the knob with the
control key (see Figure 11, bottom).
4 Turn the key 15 degrees counterclockwise and remove
the key.
Caution: Since the control key is a high-security
key, make sure to keep it protected.
