Position the strike plate on the door so that it lines up with the flat of the latchbolt
(NOT THE PLUNGER)
.
Mark the inner and outer edges of the strike plate and cut a 1mm rebate so that it fits flush with the
surface or the door frame.
Drill or cut a recess for the latch bolt.
Fit the strike plate using only one wood screw at first to
ensure that it is positioned accurately. The latchbolt, and
not the plunger should enter the aperture easily and be
held without too much ‘play’. When satisfied, secure the
strike with the second screw.

threaded section to screw into the lockcase.
Hold the lock case and backplate (with the seals onto the door)with
the spindle in position.
Using the fixing bolts screw everything together through the top
and bottom holes of the backplate. Before final tightening, make
sure the lock is vertical, and test the mechanism to ensure that all
is moving easily.
Caution:
Do not close the door until you are sure that the code works.
Do not over tighten the fixing bolts as this may cause distortion and lead to poor operation..
