C) Determine which direction the door will swing when it is
being opened. Rotate the latch tongue so that the at edge of
the tongue faces toward the direction the door swings when
being opened (and the round edge towards the doorjamb).
Once oriented correctly, install the faceplate (Part #7) over the
latch tongue (Part #5a), locking the latch tongue orientation.
Fasten in place using two 1” wood screws (Part #8)
Hint:
Coating the screw threads with a small amount of soap (liquid
or bar soap) will make installation easier.
Step 5
Install the Trim
A) Using Figure #1 for reference, gather together the trim half A
(Part #1), trim half B (Part #2), 1-1/2″ rosette machine screws
(Part #3), and Phillips screwdriver.
B) Find trim half A (Part #1)
. Place trim half A on the outside of
the door, such that the spindle is inserted into the star-shaped
hub of the latch and the screw bosses are nested in the top and
bottom slots in the anti-rotation block, see Figure #5. Lever
designs only: If installing a lever, see Figure #6 for correct
orientation of lever on the door. If your lever is oriented
incorrectly, move it to the other side of the door so it matches
the correct orientation in Figure #6, before proceeding with
installation. Privacy function only: Make sure that the
privacy hole in the rose is oriented so that it is closest to the
edge of the door where the latch tongue sticks out.

Step 3
Mortise for the Faceplate
A) Using Figure #1 for reference, nd the faceplate (Part
#7). On the edge of the door, center the faceplate over the
newly drilled edge bore hole, so that the D-shaped hole in
the faceplate is centered over the 1” edge bore hole. Align
it so that the edges are parallel to the edges of the door and
roughly centered side-to-side. Mark around the faceplate with
a pencil and remove from door.
B) Using the chisel, score the outline of the faceplate. Next,
chisel away the material within the outline to a depth of 1/8”.
When you are done, you should be able to insert the latch
(part #5), place the faceplate over the latch tongue (Part #5a),
and have the faceplate be ush with the edge of the door.
C) Again, using the faceplate as a template and the awl as a
marking tool, mark for the two screws holes that will hold the
faceplate on the door. Remove the faceplate from the door to
avoid marring the nish. Then, drill the two screw holes using
a 7/64” drill bit. Make sure the holes are drilled at least 1”
deep. Having too small or too shallow of a hole can cause the
screws to shear off.
Installing Your Lock
Step 4
Install the Latch
A) Once your door is prepped for installation, you will need a #2
Phillips screwdriver for the installation of your latch.
B) Locate the latch (Part #5) and the anti-rotation block (Part
#4). Insert the anti-rotation block in the cross bore hole so
that the arrow on the block is pointing toward the edge of the
door. Install the latch in the edge bore hole, making sure that
it is correctly inserted through the anti-rotation block. When
installed correctly, the star-shaped hub in the latch should be
centered in the hole of the anti-rotation block, see
Figure #4.
Privacy function only: The privacy latch must be inserted
into the door so that the locking mechanism (threaded privacy
pin hole - Part #5b) is facing the inside of the door, see
Figure #1.
