The backset is the distance from the door edge to the center of the spindle cam.
The spindle cam must sit straight (B3) and at the center of the bore hole to install
the lever. The two most common backset measurements are 2-3/8” (60 mm) or
2-3/4” (70 mm). To change the backset from 2-3/8” (60 mm) (B1) to 2-3/4” (70 mm)
(B2) pull the spindle cam away from the faceplate.
