1. Install the latch (08) into the door. If installing a privacy function lockset the threaded hole on

the privacy button must face the side of the door where the privacy stem (05) will be installed

(usually the inside of bathroom or bedroom etc). Note: for out swinging doors the bevel orientation of

the latch bolt must be reversed. First remove the latch face by rotating it counter clockwise and pulling away

from the tabs. Then rotate the bolt 180 degrees, and reinstall latch face.

2. Insert square spindle into latch by depressing the ball catch and then pushing the spindle all

the way through the square latch hole till it locks in place.

4. Position the rosette over the chassis. If a privacy function, make sure the release hole or pin hole

is positioned close to the door edge side and aligns with the chassis privacy stem hole.

5. If privacy function insert privacy stem through rosette and thread into privacy button on latch.

6. Thread a collared washer into the chassis & tighten using the enclosed collar washer tool.

7. Install the lever or knob handle onto spindle and cam making sure the set screw is facing down.

This is designed to be a tight t so moderate pressure may be required to push handle onto the

spindle.

8. Hold the handle fully inserted onto spindle and tighten the set screw with the supplied large allen

key.

(12) and tighten just snug. At this point temporarily install a knob or lever handle onto one side

of the spindle and rotate back and forth to check for full latch retraction and smooth operation

indicating correct spindle and chassis alignment. Fully tighten assembly screws when condent
