Step 7
Installing the Door Reinforcer and Strike
Note: If door jamb is already drilled, go to Step 7E below.
A) With the deadbolt in the unlocked position, close the door.
From the inside of the house, turn the thumbturn and
identify where the bolt is contacting the door jamb. Lightly
mark this with a pencil on the door jamb. Measuring in
from the door stop trim, identify the center mark where the
bolt hole needs to be drilled. Hint: If you cannot see the
bolt clearly, or cannot mark the jamb with a pencil because
the door is closed, you can cover the end of the bolt with a
light amount of lipstick or similarly visible material. When
you turn the thumbturn, the lipstick will mark the door
jamb.
B) U
sing a 7/8″ drill bit, drill two holes centered 5/16″ above
and below the center mark. These holes will overlap. Make
sure each one is at least 1-1/8″ deep.
C) Clean out the hole (if needed) and insert the black dust box
(Part #11). Close the door carefully, making sure not to
crush the dust box. Make sure that the deadbolt and dust
box line up. If not, carefully enlarge the hole as needed.
D) Using the strike plate (Part #14), mark the area to be
mortised out for the dust box (Part #11), door frame
reinforcer (Part #12), and strike plate. Use a chisel to
mortise this area and make sure that once assembled, the
strike plate sits flush to the door jamb.
E) Place the door frame reinforcer over the dust box. Using
the door frame reinforcer as a guide, find the holes closest
to the outside of the house and drill two 7/64″ x 3″ deep
holes for the reinforcer screws.
Step 6
Adding the Inside Thumbturn Assembly
A) Using Figure #1 for reference, gather together the thumbturn
assembly (Part #9), and the two 5/8″ thumbturn machine
screws (Part #10).
B) Install the thumbturn assembly such that the driver bar
coming through the latch housing is inserted into the slot on
the back of the thumbturn.
C) Align the holes on the thumbturn assembly with the two
small holes on the adaptor plate.
D) Install the two 5/8″ thumbturn machine screws, making sure
that the plate is positioned correctly before tightening the
screws. Do not over-tighten the screws.
E) Turn the thumbturn and the key separately to make sure that
the action is smooth. If the screws have been over-tightened,
the latch may bind. Once the action is acceptable, move on to
Step 7.
