Finger-tighten the (2) mounting screws, assuring the lock is vertical and
sitting flush against the door.

INSTALLING THE STRIKE PLATE
G-1
Push the door nearly shut to locate the center line of the
latch bolt. Mark the center line on the door frame.
G-2
Using the strike, align the center of the strike opening with
the center just marked.
G-3
Carefully trace the outside profile of the strike. Also trace the latch hole in
the strike.
G-4
Using a chisel, carefully remove approximately
1
⁄
16
” (1 mm) deep worth of
material from the traced area (already prepped on most metal doors). The
latch face plate should sit flush with the edge of the door.
G-5
Drill or cut a recess in the door frame for the latch bolt in
the center of the strike latch hole, traced earlier.
G-6
Place the strike into the newly chiseled area, making sure
it sits flush and there are no obstructions in the latch hole
of the strike (remove any obstructions or debris).
G-7
Install the strike plate with 2 screws provided.
H.
REMOVING THE LATCH HOLDBACK
H-1
If this feature is not needed, it can be removed by unscrewing the 4 corner
screws from the inside unit assembly and removing the metal plate. The
latch holdback button, a small spring and ball bearing, should be removed
and discarded.
H-2
Install the plastic clip enclosed to cover the latch holdback button hole. Reinstall
the metal cover plate and resecure with the 4 screws removed earlier.

Note
: Do not close the door until the lock has been tested and you are
confident it works properly.
Make sure to account for any weather stripping or door stop if
necessary.
NOTE
: The dead-latch must not fall into the latch hole. The dead-latch
protects against manipulation of the latch bolt. If the dead-latch is able
to fall into the latch hole, remove the strike and reposition it so this
condition does not happen.
