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.

Note 2: 

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

5

Engage retractor in latch

With the latch in place, install the chassis from the outside. Make 
sure the latch tabs engage the chassis frame and the latch tailpiece 
engages the retractor. See Figure 5.

Install liner, rose, and lever

1  Align the holes in the liner with the holes prepared in the door.
2  Install through-bolts through the liner and the door in the top and 

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 

rose should fit closely to the door surface.

5  With the lever pointing toward the hinges, push the lever on firmly 

until seated.

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. 

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

See Figure 7.

Install core

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 clock-

wise.

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.
