COMPLETE INSTALLATION
INSTALL LOCKSET AND FINISH INSTALLATION
1. The center of the
hole for the lockset is
usually 44" from the
top of the slab and
either 2 3/8" or
2 3/4" on center from
the edge, depending
on the latch. For
slabs that have
a rail (horizontal
member) across the
center of the slab,
the lockset should
be centered in this
rail. Using the lockset
manufacturer’s
instructions and template, drill for lockset. Generally, a 2 1/8"
diameter hole is needed for the lockset. Drill a 1" latch hole through
the edge of the slab into the center of the lock hole to accommodate
the latch for the lock. Some latches have a radius (rounded corners)
or rectangular face plate that will require the slab edge to be
chiseled for t. Drill pilot holes for attachment screws. Other latches
are round (contractor drive-in) and can be tapped into place with a
hammer.
2. Close slab and check for proper operation. Adjust as necessary.
3. Finish all surfaces of the slab if not already done.
4. If installing a solid
core, custom carved,
or stile and rail slab,
install a #9 x 2 1/2"
screw in the center
hole (as shown) in
the top two hinges
(through the leaves
toward the jamb).
