TurboLock TL88 6
Section 3
Installation (Retrofit)
This section details installation steps needed if you are installing the TL88 on a door with a single cutout already made.
To replace an older fixture with a newer one is known as a retrofit. If your door has never had a lock or doorknob
installed or otherwise has no cutout, please skip to Section 4.
• For easier installation, have another person help to hold the door open or, if needed, the lock and/or parts.
• Remove all parts of any old lock before installing the TL88. In some cases, the old strike plate and/or box may be used.
• For your convenience, installation instructions are broken into segments. Read and follow the instructions for both Pre-
Installation and Main Installation.
• If your door happens to have two cut-outs, check the clearance between the two. Make sure there is enough distance so that
you may seal off any extra opening.

Part 1 - Disassemble the Lock
The TL88 comes already assembled.
Before installation, release the inside
screws and mounting screws to
