C) Hold trim half A on the door. Place trim half B (Part #2) on
the other side 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.
Now hold both trim halves in place with one hand.
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.
D) Insert the rst 1-1/2” rosette machine screw (Part #3) into
the top hole of trim half B and loosely tighten until the screw
can hold both halves of the trim on the door.
Important:
Make sure that the screwdriver is held in a way that it will not
scratch the knob/lever or rosette.
E) Insert the second 1-1/2” rosette machine screw into the lower
hole and tighten until snug. Tighten down both screws until
the rosette is securely attached on the door.
F) Privacy function only: On the interior side of the door,
screw in the privacy pin (Part #9) until snug. Do not over-
tighten. With the door open, test the privacy lock by pushing
the pin in and then trying the knob on the opposite side of the
door to see if it is locked. Then turn the knob on the interior
side of the door and this will unlock the door.
Step 6
Prepare the Doorjamb and Install
the Strike
A) Using Figure #1 for reference, gather together the strike (Part
#6), two 1” wood screws (Part #8), a drill, 1” drill bit, awl (or
nail), a 7/64” drill bit, a pencil and a chisel.
B) If you are installing a privacy lock, make sure the latch is
not locked. Rotate the knob or lever to retract the latch and
carefully close the door, making sure that the latch is fully
retracted and does not scratch the doorjamb. Slowly release
the knob/lever and let the latch tongue extend against the
doorjamb.
C) Using the pencil, lightly mark the doorjamb at the level of the
top and bottom of the latch tongue (Part #5a). These need to
be light marks, so that they can be erased later if needed. Turn
the knob/lever again to retract the latch and re-open the door.
Now extend the marks so that they are approximately 1/2”
from the edge of the door jamb where the door stops when it
is closed,
See Figure #7.
D) Repeat Step 6B, and verify that the latch tongue is falling
between the two marks.
E) Measure the thickness of the door. Take half of the door
thickness and measure that same distance from the edge of
the doorjamb where the door stops when it is closed. Mark
on the doorjamb this distance halfway between the two lines
from Step 6C, see
Figure #7.
F) Using the awl, mark where the point that is halfway
between the two lines made in Step 6C crosses the line
marked in Step 6E.
G) Using a 1” drill bit, drill a hole centered on the mark from
Step 6F. Make sure the hole is at least 5/8” deep. Clean out
any sawdust from the hole.
H) Using the strike (Part #6) as a template, center the strike
over the 1” hole, mark a line around it in pencil and remove
from doorjamb.
I) Using the chisel, score the outline of the strike. Next, chisel
away the material within the outline to a depth of 1/16”.
When you are done, you should be able to place the strike
in the mortised out area and it should be ush with the
doorjamb.
J) Again, using the strike as a template and the awl as a
marking tool, mark the two screws holes that will hold the
strike on the door. Remove the strike from the doorjamb
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 a hole can
cause the screws to shear off.
K) Fasten the strike 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.
