How to use it

Hold the main latch assembly and the catch on your door and frame to find the ideal placement. Ensure the latch bar will engage the catch smoothly when the door is closed. Mark your drilling locations with a pencil.
-
Mounting the Exterior Handle and Latch Bar
Drill pilot holes and the main spindle hole as marked. Secure the exterior handle and latch bar assembly to the door using the provided stainless steel screws.

Place the interior handle over the spindle extending through the door and secure it. Align the catch plate on the door frame with the latch bar and screw it firmly into place.
