7. Put a rubber washer between the two metal washers,
and place them over the armature screw between
the armature plate and the door. This allows the
plate to pivot around the screw to compensate for
door misalignment.
9. Screw the two short self-tapping screws through the mounting plate’s slotted holes, but do not over-tighten them.
Keeping them loose will allow for adjustment of the plate left or right so that the mounting plate and the armature
plate form a 90-degree angle. See the diagram below.
8. Tighten the armature screw enough so that the
armature plate can withstand a break-in attempt, but
loose enough so that the armature plate can pivot
slightly. Make sure the anti-spin guide pins are in the
two guide pin holes.
