approximately 2” - 4” (5-10cm) below the top edge of the
door, as shown in Fig.2.

Depending on the construction of your door, install using
one of the steps shown if Fig. 3 below:
For steel / lightweight doors with vertical steel
reinforcements / factory reinforced.

length of bolts will depend on the thickness of your door.
