gap

Position door/hinge-side jamb assembly (A) in front of opening. Allow for

a 1/8" gap between the lock-side edge of door and inside-edge of your

mounting surface, as well as a 1/8" gap between the top-edge of door

and bottom-edge of your mounting surface (see illustration).

Note: There should be a minimum of 1-3/8" space below hinge-side

jamb to allow space for the bottom bar (attached in Step 5). If this space

is not there after positioning the door as directed above, it is okay to

move the door up, so long as the top of the jamb does not go beyond

the top-edge of your framing.

Important: All jambs must be positioned to allow secure mounting to

your framing around the opening.

Make certain door/hinge-side jamb assembly is plumb, and mark the

location of the mounting holes for hinge-side jamb. Set door aside and,

where marked, pre-drill 3/16” holes. Return door to position and fasten to

house using the provided one-way screws (G).

Install reversible mortise lock set

Follow installation instructions included with mortise lock set.

Install lock side jamb

Align the lock holes in the lock-side jamb with the lock bolts extended. Maintain a space between door (A) and the lock-side jamb (B) equal or

similar to the space between the door and hinge-side jamb, from top to bottom. Making sure the lock-side jamb is plumb, mark the location of

the mounting holes. Set the jamb aside and, where marked, pre-drill 3/16" holes. Return jamb to position and fasten to house using the provided

one-way screws (G).

Gap between door and both side

jambs should appear equal

(minimum 1/8", up to 1/4")

Install top header jamb

Place the top header jamb (C) above the door and between the two

side jambs. Spacing should be equal, from left to right, above the door

and be similar to spacing determined in Step 3. Mark the location of the

mounting holes. Set the jamb aside and, where marked, pre-drill 3/16"

holes. Return jamb to position and fasten to house using the provided

one-way screws (G).

5 Install bottom bar Place bottom bar (D) beneath the side jambs. Both ends should reach the outer edge of the side jambs. Hold in place and use 5/32" drill bit to pre-drill holes for mounting screws. Attach bottom bar to each side jamb using the provided screws (H). 6 Install threshold plate The contour of door framing varies (6a) making it necessary to cut the threshold plate (E) to fit. We recommend cutting a cardboard template to fit the opening first to avoid incorrectly cutting the threshold plate.
