Instructions / Assembly
D)  Measure the thickness of the door. Doors vary in thickness 
depending on the manufacturer. Determine the distance to 
the center of the edge of the door (half the thickness of the 
door). Using the awl (or nail), mark a point on the edge of the 
door where the centerline pencil mark (from Step 1C) and the 
center of the edge of the door meet (half the thickness). See 
Figure #3.

Figure #3. Important: To avoid splintering or marring the 
door,drillfromonesideofthedooruntilthepilotbitcomes

Step 1
Mark the Door
A)  Locate the Door Preparation Template which is included 
with these instructions.  Fold the template along the “edge-
of-door” line. Important: Before positioning the template, 
make sure that you are aligning it on the non-hinged edge of 
the door. Carefully position the template so that the narrow 
portion of the template wraps around the edge of the door, 
and the large portion of the template remains on the face 
of the door, see Figure #2. Slide the template up or down 
on your door so that the horizontal centerline is located at 
aheightthatisattractiveinappearanceandatleast5-1/2″
abovethecenterofthedoorknobhole.Onceyouhavechosen
the height, tape the template to the door.
