Bore two holes and install latch

1 Bore a 2 1/8" diameter hole from both sides of the door, to the center
of the door.
2 Drill a 1" diameter hole from the edge of the door that intersects the
2 1/8" hole.
3 Mortise the door edge for the latch face.
4 Install the latch through the 1” diameter hole. For drive-in latches,
use a rubber mallet. Latch tabs should project into the 2 1/8"
diameter hole. See figure 3 in task 3.
5 Check the door swing.

Caution: If you use hollow metal doors, determine whether the
doors are reinforced enough to support the lock. If door reinforcement is not adequate, consult the door manufacturer for
information on proper reinforcement.

Boring jig

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.

Note: The suggested height from the 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 Retract the rose locking pin and rotate the outside rose liner in or out
for the proper door thickness by lining up the “DOOR CENTER” mark
with the center of the latch hole.
3 Reinstall the latch.
Note 1: Make sure the locking pin locks into the rose liner.

Install strike plate

1 In alignment with the center of the latchbolt, mortise the door jamb
to fit the strike box and strike plate.
Caution: The deadlocking plunger of the latchbolt must not
enter the strike plate opening. The plunger deadlocks the
latchbolt and prevents forcing the latch when the door is
closed. A gap of more than 1/8” may reduce security and/or
cause improper operation of the latchbolt.

Note 2: Locksets will fit 1 3/8" to 2" thick doors.

bottom holes. See Figure 6.
3 Tighten the liner onto the door with the through-bolts.
4 Slide the rose over the sleeve, then press the rose onto the liner. The

1 For R function locks, insert a screwdriver into the figure-8 opening
and turn the locking mechanism counterclockwise as far as it will go.
For all other function locks, go to step 2.
2 Insert the throw member into the core (see Figure 8 — top).
3 Put the control key into the core and turn the key 15 degrees clockwise.
4 Put the core and throw member into the lever with the control key
(see Figure 8—bottom).
5 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.
