Hole

Use 1” hole saw to drill door edge

2" deep. Hole must be drilled

parallel to the door face and

perpendicular to door edge.

It is very important that the bolt assembly is flush

in the mortise. If the door is beveled, ensure that

the bolt assembly is flush with the low

side of the bevel. The barrel of the bolt

must be parallel to the door face and

perpendicular to door edge. Trace with

pencil or utility knife to outline mortise.

Mortise edge of door to accept bolt assembly

and face plate.

Insert bolt and tighten screws.

Drill door jamb using 1” hole saw

/16" deep in door jamb on center line

of screws.

Locate screw holes on strike with

center line on jamb. Outline edges and

chisel 5/64" deep for A01 (ANSI) strike

strike plates.

Install strike plate and

tighten screws.

Adjustable tang on A03 strike

Door Preparation

For new slab door, start at

least 36" above floor.

Fold and apply template to

high side of door bevel.

Ensure that template is level

and square.

Mark center hole on door face

through guide on template

for 2

/8" or 2

/4" backset.

Repeat on door edge for latch.

With template in place, transfer center line to door jamb.

UltraLatch® units are packed to a specific backset (2

/8" or

/4") depending upon door thickness. Normally If your door

is 1

/8" thick, you will have a 2

/8" backset; if your door is 1

/4"

or thicker, the backset is 2

/4".

To determine position for strike plate,

ensure that center of hole is level with

center of 2

/8" face hole on door.

To measure, insert end of

template against flat of latch

bolt and close door against stop.

Mark template from edge of jamb

and transfer lines around face of

jamb to locate strike opening.

Mark center line for screws and

1" hole.

Drill 2

/8" hole through door face

as marked for lockset. Hole must

be drilled perpendicular to the

door face and level. Drill the 2

/8"

hole first. To avoid splintering,

stop when pilot bit starts to exit

opposite side. Reverse drill to

remove and repeat on opposite

side using pilot hole as a guide.

If you are prepping the door for a standard

round deadbolt, leave at least 8" between the

center of deadbolt and center of UltraLatch®

If using any other type of deadbolt, measure

before placing hole to ensure that you have

enough clearance.

Determining Door Orientation Before installing the Unirose/Chassis Assembly you must determine if your door is a Right or Left hand door. This is accomplished by noticing hinge location when facing the Push side of the door. If the hinges are on the left, it's a left hand door and if on the right, it's a right hand door. The assembly is set at the factory for a left hand door. Set Up for a Right Hand Door Remove the 2 screws that secure the chassis to the Push Unirose using a #2 Square Drive Screwdriver.
