Hook style catch
Dry fit the Interlocking Jamb Molding against the wall, directly under
the track. It should fit snugly against the wall and the track at the top. If
it needs to be trimmed, trim it at the
BOTTOM
. The arrow sticker on the
back pointing up can easily determine top and bottom. The latch slot
should correspond to the hook of the latch.
Trace the 3⁄8” x 1” slot in the Interlocking Jamb Molding onto the wall.
Remove the Interlocking Jam Molding and add ½” to the top of the
tracing.
Drill a series of ½” deep holes within the marked area with a
3⁄
8” bit. Clean out the waste with a sharp chisel.
Attach the interlocking jamb molding with #6 x 1½” flat head screws, through the pre-drilled holes and into the wall behind.
And now a short word about Interlocking Jamb Moldings
The Interlocking Jamb Molding is the extruded piece into which the door latches. If your door is a
Pair, and slides from each end to meet in the middle, and your Interlocking Jamb Molding is already
installed on a lead post of the door and you may disregard this section.
Configurations where the door closes to a wall or doorjamb will have a separate piece with a cross
section like one of the profiles shown here.

Shut the door, latch it and wiggle the handle a bit. The Latch should swing fully up
with the Lead Post pulled snuggly against the Interlocking Jamb Molding.
If the fit is too loose, or too tight, open the door and adjust the mechanism
with a screwdriver.
Turn the Adjusting Screw clockwise
to loosen the fit, counterclockwise
to
tighten.
